Deprecation Notice

This component is deprecated. It will continue to work in your existing pipelines for now.

Key Features

• Converts image sources such as file paths, URLs, or byte streams to Base64Image objects.
• Works with image files for use in visual question answering pipelines.
• Compatible with visual Generators that accept Base64Image input.

Configuration

1. Drag the DeepsetSourceToBase64Image component onto the canvas from the Component Library.
2. Click the component to open the configuration panel.
3. Configure the parameters as needed.
