JPG Cropped

Hi,
The cropping is caused by the "Image scaling" property, not by Base64 itself.
- Select your table/matrix visual.
- Go to Format your visual (paint roller icon) → Cell elements.
- Find the image field you added → there's a property called "Image scaling" (in newer Power BI Desktop it may appear as Image fit).
- It has two options:
Fill (default) → stretches/crops the image to fill the cell completely, this is what's cutting off your images.
Fit → keeps the full image visible within the cell, preserving aspect ratio (may leave empty space).
- Switch it to Fit.
Second thing to check is row height vs column width ratio:
Even with "Fit," if your cell's width/height ratio is very different from your image's aspect ratio, the image will look squeezed or the visible area will be small. Adjust:
Row height (Format → Grid or Cell elements → Row height)
Column width (drag manually in the visual)
so the cell ratio roughly matches your image ratio (exemple: 1:1 for square logos, 16:9 for landscape photos).
