Obsidian Image Base64 Plugin

Warning:

• This plugin manages all base64 image files through a single JSON file. As the JSON file grows, it may impact the speed of image retrieval. Please consider this before using.
• This project is developed for personal use. The method of managing base64 images may change at any time, so please use it with caution.

Why I Made This

This plugin was developed for personal use but is available for anyone who finds it useful. The primary goal of the obsidian-image-base64 plugin is to facilitate the management of images in Obsidian notes by converting and storing them as base64 encoded strings.

How to Use

Adding Images

1. Copy an image to your clipboard or drag and drop it into Obsidian.
2. Use the Paste Image as Base64 or Drag and Drop feature to convert the image into a base64 format.
3. The plugin automatically saves the base64 data along with a unique ID into a designated JSON file within a specified folder.

Embedding Images in Markdown

To embed a base64 image in your markdown notes, add a code block with the following format:

```image-base64
name: pasted-image-1706693871338
id: f53c0e92-75d2-4986-8435-a33bff2af5d6
```

This code block will be automatically replaced with the corresponding base64 image stored in the JSON file.

Example Usage

Ribbon and Command Usage

You can easily manage unused base64 images by using the Ribbon and Command features to find and delete them, keeping your notes clean and efficient.
