Send Images from MongoDB

I have been trying to send image from mongodb but nothing seems working

    const imagePath = "path/to/the/image.jpeg";
    const imageData = fs.readFileSync(imagePath, 'utf8');
    const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(imageData);
    const imageBinary = new mongodb.Binary(imageBuffer);
    const imageMimeType = mime.lookup(imagePath);

    image = {
      name: i,
      contentType: imageMimeType,
      content: imageBinary
    }
    imagesData.push(image);

    const imagePath = "path/to/the/image.jpeg";
    const imageData = fs.readFileSync(imagePath, 'utf8');
    const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(imageData);
    const imageBinary = new mongodb.Binary(imageBuffer);
    const imageMimeType = mime.lookup(imagePath);

    image = {
      name: i,
      contentType: imageMimeType,
      content: imageBinary
    }
    imagesData.push(image);

I did something like this to upload the image from my local directory

{
  name: "shadow.jpg",
  contentType: "image/jpeg",
  content: "Binary.createFromBase64("base64 string comes here")"
}

{
  name: "shadow.jpg",
  contentType: "image/jpeg",
  content: "Binary.createFromBase64("base64 string comes here")"
}

this is what it looks in the database

const image = await getImageContent('shadow', 'shadow.jpg');
const imagedata = Buffer.from(image.content.buffer);
const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(imagedata, { name: 'shadow.jpg' });
await interaction.reply({files: [attachment] });

const image = await getImageContent('shadow', 'shadow.jpg');
const imagedata = Buffer.from(image.content.buffer);
const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(imagedata, { name: 'shadow.jpg' });
await interaction.reply({files: [attachment] });

this is how I tried retriving it it sends a file...but the file is not containing any image

    const imagePath = "path/to/the/image.jpeg";
    const imageData = fs.readFileSync(imagePath);
    const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(imageData);
    const imageBinary = new mongodb.Binary(imageBuffer);
    const imageMimeType = mime.lookup(imagePath);

    image = {
      name: i,
      contentType: imageMimeType,
      content: imageBinary
    }
    imagesData.push(image);

it should have been like this no need to read it with utf8 removing that fixed my code
