We tried everything to use these two methods

1. `sendFileMessage`
2. `updateCurrentUserInfoWithProfileImage`

with converting picture to **file** using this method: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/62432112/4591364](https://stackoverflow.com/a/62432112/4591364)

But we get this error:  
“Invalid Parameters”

So please we need a little support to answer my little question about why the request gets this error “Invalid Parameters”…

</div>

Code looks like this:

```auto
fetch(base64String)
  .then((res) => res.blob())
  .then((blob) => {
    const file = new File([blob], fileName, {
      type: "image/png",
    });
    this.sendBird.updateCurrentUserInfoWithProfileImage(user.nickname, file);
  });

```

Hi @smsm,

Welcome to the Sendbird Community.

I put together a quick example of how you might upload images via Javascript: [FileUploadExample (forked) - CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/fileuploadexample-forked-36540k?file=/src/App.js)

Hello @smsm, Could you tell me where the image is coming from so I can try and reproduce the behavior for you?

@smsm,

I updated the example to use a base64 string: [FileUploadExample (Base64) - CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/fileuploadexample-base64-36540k?file=/src/App.js)
