如果你需要编码一个HTML图像对象，你可以写一个简单的函数，像这样:

function getBase64Image(img) {
  var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
  canvas.width = img.width;
  canvas.height = img.height;
  var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
  ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
  var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
  // escape data:image prefix
  return dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
  // or just return dataURL
  // return dataURL
}

通过id获取图像的Base64编码:

function getBase64ImageById(id){
  return getBase64Image(document.getElementById(id));
}

还有更多。

这是一个缩小的填充窗口。Atob + window.btoa:

(function(){function t(t){this.message=t}var e="undefined"!=typeof exports?exports:this,r="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=";t.prototype=Error(),t.prototype.name="InvalidCharacterError",e.btoa||(e.btoa=function(e){for(var o,n,a=0,i=r,c="";e.charAt(0|a)||(i="=",a%1);c+=i.charAt(63&o>>8-8*(a%1))){if(n=e.charCodeAt(a+=.75),n>255)throw new t("'btoa' failed: The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.");o=o<<8|n}return c}),e.atob||(e.atob=function(e){if(e=e.replace(/=+$/,""),1==e.length%4)throw new t("'atob' failed: The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.");for(var o,n,a=0,i=0,c="";n=e.charAt(i++);~n&&(o=a%4?64*o+n:n,a++%4)?c+=String.fromCharCode(255&o>>(6&-2*a)):0)n=r.indexOf(n);return c})})();

基本上，我只是稍微清理了一下原始代码，这样JSLint就不会抱怨太多了，而且我把注释中标记为私有的方法实际上变成了私有的。我还添加了我在自己的项目中需要的两个方法，即decodeToHex和encodeFromHex。

代码:

var Base64 = (function() {
    "use strict";

    var _keyStr = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=";

    var _utf8_encode = function (string) {

        string = string.replace(/\r\n/g,"\n");

这是一个helper funktion来编码到base64url:

base64url (s) {
        var to64url = btao(s);
         // Replace non-url compatible chars with base64url standard chars and remove leading =
        return to64url.replace(/\+/g, '_').replace(/\//g, '-').replace(/=+$/g, '');

虽然还有一些工作要做，但如果你想要一个高性能的本地解决方案，可以使用一些HTML5函数。

如果你可以把你的数据放到一个Blob中，那么你可以使用FileReader.readAsDataURL()函数来获得一个data:// URL，并砍掉它的前面来获得Base64数据。

你可能必须做进一步的处理，但urldecode数据，因为我不确定是否+字符转义或不为数据:// URL，但这应该是相当微不足道的。
