Displaying Images on Visualforce pages using Base64 Blob












2















My question is about displaying base64 blob as image in visualforce page. Here's my controller code:



Object img;
public Object getImg () {
List<ContentVersion> bodyList = [SELECT VersionData FROM ContentVersion WHERE ContentDocumentId='the real id'];

img = bodyList[0].get('VersionData');
return img;
}


Here's the visualforce:



<img src="data:image/png;base64,{! img }"/>


This is getting rendered as




<img src="data:image/png;base64,core.filemanager.FileBlobValue@1e76577f">




How can I get the actual base64 of image so the image is displayed properly?
