Image convert to Base64

by 
function readFile() {
  
  if (!this.files || !this.files[0]) return;
    
  const FR = new FileReader();
    
  FR.addEventListener("load", function(evt) {
    document.querySelector("#img").src         = evt.target.result;
    document.querySelector("#b64").textContent = evt.target.result;
  }); 
    
  FR.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]);
  
}

document.querySelector("#inp").addEventListener("change", readFile);
<input id="inp" type="file">
<p id="b64"></p>
<img id="img" height="150">

(P.S: A base64 encoded image (String) 4/3 the size of the original image data)
