Decode base64_encode Image from JSON in Swift

You have to cast your dictionary value from AnyObject to String. You have also to decode your string data using .IgnoreUnknownCharacters option. Try like this

if let encodedImage = json["image"] as? String,
    imageData =  NSData(base64EncodedString: encodedImage, options: .IgnoreUnknownCharacters),
    image = UIImage(data: imageData) {
    print(image.size)
}

Swift 3.0.1 • Xcode 8.1

if if let encodedImage = json["image"] as? String, 
    let imageData = Data(base64Encoded: encodedImage, options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters),
    let image = UIImage(data: imageData) {
    print(image.size)
}
