It isn't possible to tell from that information alone. Did you try img = base64decode(str)? Another option might be that it's a base64-encoded PNG, in which case using using FileIO; load(Stream(format"PNG", stream)) might work.

I have the string of the following format
"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABQAAAAJnCAYAA....."
I tried img = base64decode(str), which returned a 1-D array,

Is there a way to get Image object from this string (which is base64 encode of a canvas object in javascript) ??

Since that's image/png;base64, try the Stream version I showed you above.

Or even better, maybe readblob from ImageMagick. Demo:

julia> str = readstring("lighthouse.png");

julia> using ImageMagick

julia> img = readblob(str.data)

@timholy Thanks a lot, readblob() worked !!

Great, glad to hear it.

@timholy format"PNG" seems not working anymore, what should we use in 2019?

Should work. Can you provide an example I can copy/paste?
