After uploading multiple images, I added image tag in html and then want to display selected images but I cannot display them well. How can I solve this problem?
<input type="file" id="inpFile" name="multi_image" multiple>
<button id="btnUpload">Upload File </button>
<div id="selectedFiles"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
const inpFile = document.getElementById("inpFile");
const btnUpload = document.getElementById("btnUpload");
var display = document.querySelector("#selectedFiles");
btnUpload.addEventListener("click", function() {
const formData = new FormData;
for (const file of inpFile.files){
formData.append("multi_image", file);
img_tag = "<img src='images/"+ file.name + "'>"
console.log(img_tag);
display.innerHTML += img_tag+ "<br/>";
}
fetch('/project/create', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
})
</script>
Just change the img_tag as
img_tag = "<img src='"+ URL.createObjectURL(file) + "'>"
Due to security risks JS won't give the path for our OS systems(Windows/Mac) directly inside the inpFile array.
This will help to solve your problem, it is completely based on the JS without using Jquery.
function previewImages() {
var preview = document.querySelector('#preview');
if (this.files) {
[].forEach.call(this.files, readAndPreview);
}
function readAndPreview(file) {
// File type validator based on the extension
if (!/\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/i.test(file.name)) {
return alert(file.name + " is not an image");
}
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.addEventListener("load", function() {
var image = new Image();
image.height = 100;
image.title = file.name;
image.src = this.result;
preview.appendChild(image);
});
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
}
document.querySelector('#img-selector').addEventListener("change", previewImages);
<input id="img-selector" type="file" multiple>

I currently I have this piece of code which was originally a sample code online but edited slightly to fit my needs.
<input type="file" id="files" name="file" />
<span class="readBytesButtons">
<button>display injected files</button>
<span>
<div id="displayedText"></div>
function readBlob(opt_startByte, opt_stopByte) {
var files = document.getElementById('files').files;
console.log(files);
if (!files.length) {
alert('Please select a file!');
return;
}
//var file = files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(files[0], "UTF-8");
reader.onload = function (evt) {
try {
var startWord = "inject";
var endWord = "];";
var injectedFilesString = evt.target.result.slice(evt.target.result.indexOf(startWord), evt.target.result.indexOf(endWord)) + "]";
var injectedFiles = injectedFilesString.split('[')[1].split(']')[0].split(', ');
document.getElementById("displayedText").innerHTML = injectedFiles
; }
catch(err) {
document.getElementById("displayedText").innerHTML = "<span style='color: red; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;'>This file does not have any injected files within it.</span>";
}
}
reader.onerror = function (evt) {
alert("error reading file");
}
}
document.querySelector('.readBytesButtons').addEventListener('click', function(evt) {
if (evt.target.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'button') {
var startByte = evt.target.getAttribute('data-startbyte');
var endByte = evt.target.getAttribute('data-endbyte');
readBlob(startByte, endByte);
console.log(files);
}
}, false);
This piece of code currently reads and displays a certain portion of a file which is selected by the file selector tool. How could I change this code so that I don't need the file selector and could print portions of a file using a method such as fileName.injected();
Thanks, let me know if you have any clarifications
Hello I have the following code
function fileValidation() {
var fileInput = document.getElementById('filech');
var filePath = fileInput.value;
var allowedExtensions = /(\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.png|\.gif)$/i;
if (!allowedExtensions.exec(filePath)) {
alert('error .jpeg/.jpg/.png/.gif ');
fileInput.value = '';
return false;
} else {
//Image preview
if (fileInput.files && fileInput.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
document.getElementById('imagePreview').innerHTML = '<img src="' + e.target.result + '"/>';
};
reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[0]);
}
}
}
<input id="filech" type="file" name="file_img[]" multiple onchange="return fileValidation()" />
<div id="imagePreview"></div>
To upload photos by
<input id="filech" type="file" name="file_img[]" multiple onchange="return fileValidation()" />
then show
<div id="imagePreview"></div>
I want to show all the pictures and not one
How to use the loop here and thank all
Well as you said you will need a loop, the easiest way would be to use a for loop, like this:
for (var i = 0; i < fileInput.files.length; i++) {
if (fileInput.files && fileInput.files[i]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
document.getElementById('imagePreview').innerHTML += '<img src="' + e.target.result + '"/>';
};
reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[i]);
}
}
Note:
Note that I changed it to document.getElementById('imagePreview').innerHTML +=, so it keep printing all the iterated images, otherwise it will just override the preview with the last image content.
But the best practice is to create an img element on each iteration and append it to the preview div:
for (var i = 0; i < fileInput.files.length; i++) {
if (fileInput.files && fileInput.files[i]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = e.target.result;
document.getElementById('imagePreview').appendChild(img);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[i]);
}
}
Demo:
function fileValidation() {
var fileInput = document.getElementById('filech');
var filePath = fileInput.value;
var allowedExtensions = /(\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.png|\.gif)$/i;
if (!allowedExtensions.exec(filePath)) {
alert('error .jpeg/.jpg/.png/.gif ');
fileInput.value = '';
return false;
} else {
//Image preview
for (var i = 0; i < fileInput.files.length; i++) {
if (fileInput.files && fileInput.files[i]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = e.target.result;
document.getElementById('imagePreview').appendChild(img);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[i]);
}
}
}
}
<input id="filech" type="file" name="file_img[]" multiple onchange="return fileValidation()" />
<div id="imagePreview"></div>
I have a page with four images for the user to select. I want the user to be able to preview each image on the site before upload.
The JavaScript code below works for only one image but I would like it to work for multiple images uploaded via <input type="file">.
What will be the best way to do this?
function readURL(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#output').attr('src', e.target.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}
$("#file-input").change(function () {
readURL(this);
});
Here is jQuery version for you. I think it more simplest thing.
$(function() {
// Multiple images preview in browser
var imagesPreview = function(input, placeToInsertImagePreview) {
if (input.files) {
var filesAmount = input.files.length;
for (i = 0; i < filesAmount; i++) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
$($.parseHTML('<img>')).attr('src', event.target.result).appendTo(placeToInsertImagePreview);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[i]);
}
}
};
$('#gallery-photo-add').on('change', function() {
imagesPreview(this, 'div.gallery');
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="file" multiple id="gallery-photo-add">
<div class="gallery"></div>
Add the multiple attribute to your HTMLInputElement
Add the accept attribute to your HTMLInputElement
To filter your files selection to images only, use accept="image/*", or a comma separated MIME list: accept="image/png, image/jpeg"
Use FileReader.readAsDataURL to get the Base64 string,
or URL.createObjectURL to get the file Blob object
Using FileReader.readAsDataURL
The asynchronous way to read the image data is by using FileReader API and its readAsDataURL method which returns a Base64 String:
const preview = (file) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = () => {
const img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = fr.result; // String Base64
img.alt = file.name;
document.querySelector('#preview').append(img);
};
fr.readAsDataURL(file);
};
document.querySelector("#files").addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 100px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Async strategy:
Due to the asynchronous nature of FileReader, you could implement an async/await strategy:
// DOM utility functions:
const el = (sel, par) => (par || document).querySelector(sel);
const elNew = (tag, props) => Object.assign(document.createElement(tag), props);
// Preview images before upload:
const elFiles = el("#files");
const elPreview = el("#preview");
const previewImage = (props) => elPreview.append(elNew("img", props));
const reader = (file, method = "readAsDataURL") => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = () => resolve({ file, result: fr.result });
fr.onerror = (err) => reject(err);
fr[method](file);
});
const previewImages = async(files) => {
// Remove existing preview images
elPreview.innerHTML = "";
let filesData = [];
try {
// Read all files. Return Array of Promises
const readerPromises = files.map((file) => reader(file));
filesData = await Promise.all(readerPromises);
} catch (err) {
// Notify the user that something went wrong.
elPreview.textContent = "An error occurred while loading images. Try again.";
// In this specific case Promise.all() might be preferred over
// Promise.allSettled(), since it isn't trivial to modify a FileList
// to a subset of files of what the user initially selected.
// Therefore, let's just stash the entire operation.
console.error(err);
return; // Exit function here.
}
// All OK. Preview images:
filesData.forEach(data => {
previewImage({
src: data.result, // Base64 String
alt: data.file.name // File.name String
});
});
};
elFiles.addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.currentTarget.files) return; // Do nothing.
previewImages([...ev.currentTarget.files]);
});
#preview img { max-height: 100px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Using URL.createObjectURL
The synchronous way to read the image is by using the URL API and its createObjectURL method which returns a Blob:
const preview = (file) => {
const img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(file); // Object Blob
img.alt = file.name;
document.querySelector('#preview').append(img);
};
document.querySelector("#files").addEventListener("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 120px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
Although looks much simpler, it has implications on the main thread due to its synchronicity, and requires you to manually use (when possible) URL.revokeObjectURL in order to free up memory:
// Remove unused images from #preview? Consider also using
URL.revokeObjectURL(someImg.src); // Free up memory space
jQuery example:
A jQuery implementation of the above FileReader.readAsDataURL() example:
const preview = (file) => {
const fr = new FileReader();
fr.onload = (ev) => {
$('#preview').append($("<img>", {src: fr.result, alt: file.name}));
};
fr.readAsDataURL(file);
};
$("#files").on("change", (ev) => {
if (!ev.target.files) return; // Do nothing.
[...ev.target.files].forEach(preview);
});
#preview img { max-height: 120px; }
<input id="files" type="file" accept="image/*" multiple>
<div id="preview"></div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Preview Image, get file size, image height and width before upload
Tips:
Besides using the HTMLInputElement attribute accept, if you want to make sure within JavaScript that a file is-of-type, you could:
if (!/\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/i.test(file.name)) {
// Not a valid image
}
or like:
if (!/^image\//i.test(file.type)) {
// File is not of type Image
}
function previewMultiple(event){
var saida = document.getElementById("adicionafoto");
var quantos = saida.files.length;
for(i = 0; i < quantos; i++){
var urls = URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[i]);
document.getElementById("galeria").innerHTML += '<img src="'+urls+'">';
}
}
#galeria{
display: flex;
}
#galeria img{
width: 85px;
height: 85px;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
opacity: 85%;
}
<input type="file" multiple onchange="previewMultiple(event)" id="adicionafoto">
<div id="galeria">
</div>
Just use FileReader.readAsDataURL()
HTML:
<div id='photos-preview'></div>
<input type="file" id="fileupload" multiple (change)="handleFileInput($event.target.files)" />
JS:
function handleFileInput(fileList: FileList) {
const preview = document.getElementById('photos-preview');
Array.from(fileList).forEach((file: File) => {
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = () => {
var image = new Image();
image.src = String(reader.result);
preview.appendChild(image);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});
}

i really hope you guys can help me out, i've been messing around with this thing the past 2 days and it's starting to frustrate me :(
Here's how I'd do it :
var notes = localStorage.getItem('notes'),
arr = [];
if (notes) {
arr = JSON.parse(notes);
$.each(arr, function(k,v) {
console.log(v)
var h1 = $('<h1 />', {text: v.title});
var p = $('<p />', {text: v.msg});
var img = $('<img />', {src: v.image});
$('#notes').append(h1, p, img);
});
}
$('#clear').click(function () {
if (confirm('This will clear all notes, are you sure?')) {
window.localStorage.setItem('notes','');
location.reload();
}
return false;
});
$('#addNote').click(function () {
var Title = $('#title').val();
var Message = $('#message').val();
var file = $('#file').prop('files')[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
reader.onload = function (e) {
var b64 = e.target.result;
var note = {
image : b64,
title : Title,
msg : Message
}
arr.push(note);
localStorage.setItem('notes', JSON.stringify( arr ));
$('#notes').prepend("<div class='entry'><h1>" + Title + "</h1></p>" + "<p>" + Message + "<img src=" + b64 + " /></p> </div>");
}
return false;
});
FIDDLE
Its pretty simple
var pic = document.getElementById("file").files[0];
var imgUrl;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var imgURL = reader.result;
$('#notes').prepend("<div class='entry'><h1>" + Title + "</h1></p>" + "<p>" + Message + "<img src=" + imgURL + "></p> </div>");
var notes = $('#notes').html();
localStorage.setItem('notes', notes);
saveDataToLocalStorage(imgURL);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(pic);
