    Use QByteArray directly rather than QString, that will avoid unless conversions.

    Also your label variable only exists for the lifetime of the if block in case of type being image so it won't even be shown.

      @SGaist After correcting this part too the result was same. I realize I have been mixing QML with QWidgets and that's what is causing problems. Is there any other way of receiving images without using QWidgets?

          Okay So I'm sending msgs like this-

              QFile file(fileName);
              if (!file.open(QFile::ReadOnly)) {
                  qDebug() << "Cannot open the selected file";
                  return;
              }
              QByteArray block;
              block = file.readAll();
              block.toBase64();
          
              QString message(block);
              QString roomID("rID");
              QString type("image");
              qDebug() << "base64 image- " << message;
          
              QString json = "{\"rid\": \"%1\", \"msg\": \"%2\", \"type\": \"%3\"}";
              json = json.arg(roomID, message, type);
          
              sendMessage("sendMessage", QJsonDocument::fromJson(json.toUtf8()));
          

          And receiving them like-

                      QString type = result.value("type").toString();
                      QString msg = result.value("msg").toString();
                      
                      if (type == "image"){
                          QByteArray decodedImage;
                          QByteArray image;
                          QPixmap pixmap;
                          QLabel label;
          
                          decodedImage.append(msg);
                          image = QByteArray::fromBase64(decodedImage);
                          pixmap.loadFromData(image,0,Qt::AutoColor);
                          label.setPixmap(pixmap);
                          label.show();
                       }
          

          But only "����" this is displayed instead of the image.

          @Vasudha said in Distinguish between text message and image message sent from server (both encoded in qstring):

          block.toBase64();

          That is a const method. Do you mean block=block.toBase64();?

                  @VRonin This was very smart. The image is being sent successfully but how to show it (at receiving end) without using QWidgets (after decoding it)?
