Image is not appearing fully when I convert image into base 64?

Hi

 

I am having some images on my local and I converted them into a base 64 image url. 

 

However, when I try to visualize, the image is not appearing fully. It just comes as a half. 

 

Can you please advise?

There is a character limit for strings, so there's a hard upper bound on the size of images you can store this way. You can either reduce the size of the images or reference the images via URL.

 

See here for a related discussion:

Edit: There are workarounds to bypass the size limit (by breaking the image into multiple rows in your table) but this may be more trouble than it's worth. See here for more details: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2019/05/19/storing-large-images-in-power-bi-datasets/

 

@AlexisOlson Thanks for your reply. I tried to upload the images via URL but no success.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Image is not appearing. Is there any way? I checked the other posts and it seems working as an Image URL. Please advise

HI @Jason2500,

AFAIK, current power bi does not support the image URL that existed additional authorizations or redirections. Please use the link that can direct access to the root image file and try again.

It looks like those are page addresses, not image addresses. Does it work if you try the following?
