I'm new to canvas but have a good working code. The result is to generate a canvas and then convert it to base64.
The problem is that to make it work, I seems to need to have a canvas element in the HTML code and I don't need to show the canvas element on the page.
JS
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
...
console.log( canvas.toDataURL() );
HTML
<canvas id="canvas" width=64 height=64></canvas>
Question(s)
Can I to toDataUrl without adding a canvas element in the HTML?
Is my only option to hide it with CSS?
You can use document.createElement()
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.width = 64;
canvas.height = 64;
//....
console.log(canvas.toDataURL());

i am a newbie to programming,
I have an HTML code for displaying base64 image the image is dynamic link, always come with different sizes
I need to resize that image and create preview mode with smaller image with an aspect ratio
ex:
my original image on html are 600x300 I need to preview it 300x150
my original image HTML are 1000x500 I need to preview 500x250
I have a javascript for resizing but can't figure out how to get image base64 from my HTML code
Please who can give me some help on these to archive my goal
I cant paste HTMl code here because is to long please check HTMl on codepin
https://codepen.io/Gilavani/pen/JjLXBOb
function resizedataURL(datas, wantedWidth, wantedHeight)
{
// We create an image to receive the Data URI
var img = document.createElement('img');
// When the event "onload" is triggered we can resize the image.
img.onload = function()
{
// We create a canvas and get its context.
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// We set the dimensions at the wanted size.
canvas.width = wantedWidth;
canvas.height = wantedHeight;
// We resize the image with the canvas method drawImage();
ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0, wantedWidth, wantedHeight);
var dataURI = canvas.toDataURL();
/////////////////////////////////////////
// Use and treat your Data URI here !! //
/////////////////////////////////////////
};
// We put the Data URI in the image's src attribute
img.src = datas;
}
Thanks you in Advice
Best Regards

The question on a single line:
Is there a toDataURL method working on a <IMG> element?
Most of the people seem to be interested in how to get an IMG from a CANVAS, but I need the opposite.
Why? I need to use the toDataURL() method on the IMG.
So, this is the pseudo code that I wish existed in reality:
var img = document.getElementById('myImage');
var canvas = img.getCanvasFromImage();
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
Is there already a method, or a workaround (e.g. creating an empty canvas, copying the IMG on top, etc.) to do the getCanvasFromImage? I couldn't find one.
Some more details WHY, but there is no need to read further. I am using the VIDEO tag to get the camera stream, and when the user clicks a button, I copy the CANVAS to the IMG.
But since I do not want to show the whole picture while taking a photo (I want it to be consistent over different devices, regardless of the camera resolution, keeping a 16:9 aspect ratio), I only show a portion of the image using object-fit: cover; .
So, now I have a "partial" image, but if I do a toDataURL on the canvas I have, it gives me the WHOLE picture, regardless of the "object-fit" value.
If this is not clear, no problem :) I only need a "toDataURL" method working on a <IMG> element :)
HTMLImageElement.prototype.getCanvasFromImage = function(){
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = this.width;
canvas.height = this.height;
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
return canvas;
};
const img = document.getElementById('myImage');
img.onload = () => {
const canvas = img.getCanvasFromImage();
const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
console.log(dataURL);
}
<img id="myImage" crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/zpoxft30lzrr5mg/20201012_102150.jpg" />
Its work, but please READ THIS. Better way is create pure function and pass image as argument:
function getCanvasFromImage(image) {
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = image.width;
canvas.height = image.height;
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
return canvas;
}
This question already has answers here:
Html5 canvas drawImage: how to apply antialiasing
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a simple HTML document with an image and a canvas element. The image src is just some high quality image found online, just to illustrate my point. When I try to draw the image onto the canvas, the resulting canvas image is very pixelated and low quality. I can't seem to figure out why.
Similar questions have been asked here, but I couldn't find an answer that seemed to solve the problem. If someone finds another post with a working answer, please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is the JSfiddle with the code:
https://jsfiddle.net/vey309b0/5/
HTML:
<p>the original image:</p>
<img id="img_cam" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/k8IX2Mkf0Jo/U4ze2gNn7CI/AAAAAAAA7xg/iKxa6bYITDs/s0/HOT+Balloon+Trip_Ultra+HD.jpg" width="400">
<p>the canvas with drawn image:</p>
<canvas id="imgcanvas" width="400"></canvas>
JavaScript:
var canvas = document.getElementById("imgcanvas");
var img_can = document.getElementById("img_cam");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var imgWidth = img_can.width;
var imgHeight = img_can.height;
canvas.width = imgWidth;
canvas.height = imgHeight;
ctx.drawImage(img_can, 0, 0, imgWidth, imgHeight);
Set the width and the height of the canvas to the naturalWidth and naturalHeight of the image, and then use CSS to constrain the canvas size.
var canvas = document.getElementById("imgcanvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var img_can = document.getElementById("img_cam");
img_can.onload = function() {
canvas.width = this.naturalWidth;
canvas.height = this.naturalHeight;
ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
};
img_can.src = img_can.getAttribute('data-src');
<p>
the original image:

You should also really be doing this work in an onload listener on the img tag.
I am making a chrome extension that uses the chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab method to grab a screencap of the current tab and then displays that in a popup from the chrome extension. If I use the img tag and use the data coming from the chrome function, such as data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwME…UUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAf/2Q==, the <img> displays pixel perfect, it is crisp and that's what I want. Problem is that I need to make it into a canvas, and when I do that, it becomes blurry.
This is a screencap of the <img> that uses the link data provided by Google to be used as a comparison to the canvas which is below.
This is the blurry canvas.
This is the code that I am using to try to do this, but I can't figure out how to make the canvas crisp like the image.
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({msg: "capture"}, function(response) {
console.log(response.imgSrc);
var img = document.createElement('img');
var _canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
img.src = response.imgSrc;
img.height = 436;
img.width = 800;
document.getElementById('main-canvas').appendChild(img);
draw(response);
});
function draw(response) {
var canvas = document.getElementById('imageCanvas');
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
//Get a 2d context
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
//use image to paint canvas
var _image = new Image();
_image.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(_image, 0, 0, 800, 436);
}
_image.src = response.imgSrc;
document.getElementById('main-canvas').appendChild(canvas);
}
This is what I used to fix my problem: High Resolution Canvas from HTML5Rocks
I have an html image
<img src="/path/to/my/image.png" />
I want the same content, but as an embedded image
<img src="data:image/png:base64/xyzafasfasfafasfafasfasag">
can I do this transformation easily with Javascript?
html: <img src="/path/..." id="image">
js: document.getElementById('image').src = 'data:image/png:base64/qweqwe...';
Found the solution myself:
function getBase64Image(img) {
// Create an empty canvas element
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = img.width;
canvas.height = img.height;
// Copy the image contents to the canvas
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0,img.width,img.height);
// Get the data-URL formatted image
// Firefox supports PNG and JPEG. You could check img.src to guess the
// original format, but be aware the using "image/jpg" will re-encode the image.
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
return dataURL;//.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
}
