var strOut = '';
var regex = /^data:.*,/;

Tests:

replace inline regex
strOut = strIn.replace(/^data:.*,/, ''); return strOut;
replace compiled regex var
strOut = strIn.replace(regex, ''); return strOut;
indexOf slice+1
let pictureIndex = strIn.indexOf(","); let picture_slice = strIn.slice(pictureIndex + 1); strOut = picture_slice; return strOut;
indexOf slice+1 and redundant replace
let pictureIndex = strIn.indexOf(","); let picture_slice = strIn.slice(pictureIndex + 1); let picture = picture_slice.replace(/^data:.*,/, ""); strOut = picture; return strOut;
split index
let pictureIndex = strIn.split(","); let picture_slice = pictureIndex[1] strOut = picture_slice; return strOut;
