We have our images on a local webserver, The images do not render on the form and the browser shows this message: 

It gives the image url and then says its blocked from origin 'https://static.nintex.io' has been blocked by CORS policy: Permission was denied for this request to access the `local` address space.

We have tried adding https://static.nintex.io to the local network settings of the browser but it still blocking the images.

  1. How are people handling form images?
  2. Will Nintex provide an image repository?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi ​@jschmidt7,

The solution is to embed the image into the form so that it does not need to be downloaded.
Use a Label control and embed the Base64-encoded image as the source.
Edit the source of a label control and paste the HTML below in and test.

Example smiley face:

<img
alt="Smiley Face"
src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMTAwIDEwMCI+PGNpcmNsZSBjeD0iNTAiIGN5PSI1MCIgcj0iNDUiIGZpbGw9InllbGxvdyIgc3Ryb2tlPSJibGFjayIvPjxjaXJjbGUgY3g9IjM1IiBjeT0iNDAiIHI9IjUiLz48Y2lyY2xlIGN4PSI2NSIgY3k9IjQwIiByPSI1Ii8+PHBhdGggZD0iTTMwIDYwIFE1MCA4MCA3MCA2MCIgc3Ryb2tlPSJibGFjayIgc3Ryb2tlLXdpZHRoPSI0IiBmaWxsPSJub25lIi8+PC9zdmc+"

Hi ​@Simon Muntz ,

So where I am getting the base64 source of my images? Is there a service or a website?

Thanks

Hi ​@jschmidt7,

I personally use Python to output my PNG files in base64.

import base64

with open("YourLogo.png", "rb") as f:
encoded = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode("utf-8")

data_url = f"data:image/png;base64,{encoded}"
print(data_url)


There are a lot of websites that can also do this for you. Most Generative AI tools can also convert images.
Lastly, Nintex has the NWC toolkit that can convert to base64.

Take your pick.
