Convert base64 string to JPG - go

Question

I am getting the image as base64 string ( dataurl ), Below is my function that converts the dataurl into the image,
Now if the image is png then png library will create the image and jpg library will throw an error and vice versa.
Problem is when i upload png it works well but when i upload jpg file
returns this error
invalid JPEG format: missing SOI marker
func (ProfileController) SetProfilePic(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
session, _ := session.UserSession.Get(r, "mvc-user-session")
var fieldMapForBasic map[string]*json.RawMessage
var f *os.File
data, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
json.Unmarshal(data, &fieldMapForBasic)
image, _ := json.Marshal(fieldMapForBasic["image"])
coI := strings.Index(string(image), ",")
rawImage := string(image)[coI+1:]
// Encoded Image DataUrl //
unbased, _ := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(string(rawImage))
res := bytes.NewReader(unbased)
path, _ := os.Getwd()
// Path to store the image //
newpath := filepath.Join(path + "/storage", strconv.Itoa(session.Values["id"].(int)))
os.MkdirAll(newpath, os.ModePerm)
uid := uuid.NewV4()
fmt.Println(newpath)
// if image is png this function will create the image from dataurl string //
pngI, errPng := png.Decode(res)
if errPng == nil {
f, _ = os.OpenFile(newpath + "/" + uid.String() + ".png", os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREATE, 0777)
png.Encode(f, pngI)
fmt.Println("Png generated")
user := model.User{}
user.ProfilePic = "storage/" + strconv.Itoa(session.Values["id"].(int)) + "/" + uid.String()
session.Values["profile_pic"] = user.ProfilePic
session.Save(r, w)
database.Connection.Id(session.Values["id"].(int)).Update(&user)
} else {
fmt.Println(errPng.Error())
}
// If image is Jpg this will generate the Image //
jpgI, errJpg := jpeg.Decode(res)
if errJpg == nil {
f, _ = os.OpenFile(newpath + "/" + uid.String() + ".jpg", os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREATE, 0777)
jpeg.Encode(f, jpgI, &jpeg.Options{Quality: 75})
fmt.Println("Jpg created")
} else {
fmt.Println(errJpg.Error())
}
defer func() {
f.Close()
}()
render.Json(w, "ok")
}
Input dataurl is:

Answer 1

You're passing your io.Reader to png.Decode(), which begins consuming the reader, only to discover that the input is not a valid PNG, so returns an error.
Then your partly-consumed reader is passed to jpeg.Decode(), which reads the data not yet read, which is not a valid JPEG, and returns the error you observe.
You need to create a new reader for each decoder:
pngI, errPng := png.Decode(bytes.NewReader(unbased))
// ...
jpgI, errJpg := jpeg.Decode(bytes.NewReader(unbased))
Or better yet, consider the MIME type, and only call the proper decoder:
switch strings.TrimSuffix(image[5:coI], ";base64") {
case "image/png":
pngI, err = png.Decode(res)
// ...
case "image/jpeg":
jpgI, err = jpeg.Decode(res)
// ...
}

Answer 2

Here's something which may help, demonstrates quite a few other things too (you need to have two files: flower.jpg and mouse.png to make this work, available in the repository https://github.com/rravishankar/golangtraining/tree/master/test/jpegencode):
package main
import (
"bufio"
"encoding/base64"
"fmt"
"image"
"image/jpeg"
"image/png"
"strings"
"log"
"os"
)
func main() {
createJpg()
createPng()
base64toPng()
base64toJpg(getJPEGbase64("flower.jpg"))
}
//Take an existing jpg srcFileName and decode/encode it
func createJpg() {
srcFileName := "flower.jpg"
dstFileName := "newFlower.jpg"
// Decode the JPEG data. If reading from file, create a reader with
reader, err := os.Open(srcFileName)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer reader.Close()
//Decode from reader to image format
m, formatString, err := image.Decode(reader)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
return
}
fmt.Println("Got format String", formatString)
fmt.Println(m.Bounds())
//Encode from image format to writer
f, err := os.OpenFile(dstFileName, os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0777)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
return
}
err = jpeg.Encode(f, m, &jpeg.Options{Quality: 75})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
return
}
fmt.Println("Jpg file", dstFileName, "created")
}
//Take an existing png srcFileName and decode/encode it
func createPng() {
srcFileName := "mouse.png"
dstFileName := "newMouse.png"
reader, err := os.Open(srcFileName)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer reader.Close()
//Decode from reader to image format
m, formatString, err := image.Decode(reader)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
return
}
fmt.Println("Got format String", formatString)
