Hi @stephane_golonkaa71! I don’t think this feature will be available soon in Thunkable for now. But let’s hope it does. I’d like to show you a work-around to this, which is like - - create an html file named ‘encode.html’ in (any preferred editor) with this code - ```auto ``` - upload this file into assets of your project, and add a webviewer to your project. - set the webviewer’s url in designer properties to ‘encode.html’ (just the file’s name) - now on the blocks side, use this block to post data to the file - (message = whatever you want to encode) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/0/803efb191de09b376975e0f2ba8cd6ac80941e6f.png) - and this block to retrieve the encoded value - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/a/5a15a965096db482ce1f51e5d1f86d4aca3b7df7.png) * * * Now you have your own Base64 encoder in your app. Let me know if this works for you. 👍 **P.S.** don’t get thrown off by the html code, it is a very simple process 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-how-do-i-base64-encode-an-image/1858457)._
