Base64 Encoded Png File
. If you encode that pixel with base64 the same pixel requires 98 bytes. Analyze the hex dump of the file.
So a base64 encoded 1x1 PNG pixel wastes 28 bytes. If you encode that pixel with base64 the same pixel requires 98 bytes. To open encoded or encrypted file it must be first decoded or decrypted with the use of the original encryption software or password.
Preview the file for example you will see an image or video player.
So a base64 encoded 1x1 PNG pixel wastes 28 bytes. Each 6 bits of the bit stream are encoded to base64 digit. It does not seem that SQL Server CAST and CONVERT can convert Base64-encoded text into images.
