Read image file from javascript

Summary:

Hello everyone, I am trying to convert an image found in the VB path to convert it to base64 but no success.

Your help please.

The lines that are commented out do work very well. But I want to know if there is a way to read the image directly from my VB directory and convert it to Base64, without putting the encoded value.
