[image] Drawing an image from a data URL to a canvas

How can i open an image in a Canvas ? which is encoded

I am using the

var strDataURI = oCanvas.toDataURL(); 

The output is the encoded base 64 image. How can i draw this image on a canvas?

I want to use the strDataURI and create the Image ? Is it poosible ?
If its not then what possibly can be the solution for loading the image on a canvas ?

You might wanna clear the old Image before setting a new Image.

You also need to update the Canvas size for a new Image.

This is how I am doing in my project:

    // on image load update Canvas Image 
    this.image.onload = () => {

      // Clear Old Image and Reset Bounds
      canvasContext.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
      this.canvas.height = this.image.height;
      this.canvas.width = this.image.width;

      // Redraw Image
      canvasContext.drawImage(
        this.image,
        0,
        0,
        this.image.width,
        this.image.height
      );
    };

Just to add to the other answers: In case you don't like the onload callback approach, you can "promisify" it like so:

let url = "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODl...";
let img = new Image();
await new Promise(r => img.onload=r, img.src=url);
// now do something with img

in javascript , using jquery for canvas id selection :

 var Canvas2 = $("#canvas2")[0];
        var Context2 = Canvas2.getContext("2d");
        var image = new Image();
        image.src = "images/eye.jpg";
        Context2.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

html5:

<canvas id="canvas2"></canvas>

Perhaps this fiddle would help ThumbGen - jsFiddle It uses File API and Canvas to dynamically generate thumbnails of images.

(function (doc) {
    var oError = null;
    var oFileIn = doc.getElementById('fileIn');
    var oFileReader = new FileReader();
    var oImage = new Image();
    oFileIn.addEventListener('change', function () {
        var oFile = this.files[0];
        var oLogInfo = doc.getElementById('logInfo');
        var rFltr = /^(?:image\/bmp|image\/cis\-cod|image\/gif|image\/ief|image\/jpeg|image\/jpeg|image\/jpeg|image\/pipeg|image\/png|image\/svg\+xml|image\/tiff|image\/x\-cmu\-raster|image\/x\-cmx|image\/x\-icon|image\/x\-portable\-anymap|image\/x\-portable\-bitmap|image\/x\-portable\-graymap|image\/x\-portable\-pixmap|image\/x\-rgb|image\/x\-xbitmap|image\/x\-xpixmap|image\/x\-xwindowdump)$/i
        try {
            if (rFltr.test(oFile.type)) {
                oFileReader.readAsDataURL(oFile);
                oLogInfo.setAttribute('class', 'message info');
                throw 'Preview for ' + oFile.name;
            } else {
                oLogInfo.setAttribute('class', 'message error');
                throw oFile.name + ' is not a valid image';
            }
        } catch (err) {
            if (oError) {
                oLogInfo.removeChild(oError);
                oError = null;
                $('#logInfo').fadeOut();
                $('#imgThumb').fadeOut();
            }
            oError = doc.createTextNode(err);
            oLogInfo.appendChild(oError);
            $('#logInfo').fadeIn();
        }
    }, false);
    oFileReader.addEventListener('load', function (e) {
        oImage.src = e.target.result;
    }, false);
    oImage.addEventListener('load', function () {
        if (oCanvas) {
            oCanvas = null;
            oContext = null;
            $('#imgThumb').fadeOut();
        }
        var oCanvas = doc.getElementById('imgThumb');
        var oContext = oCanvas.getContext('2d');
        var nWidth = (this.width > 500) ? this.width / 4 : this.width;
        var nHeight = (this.height > 500) ? this.height / 4 : this.height;
        oCanvas.setAttribute('width', nWidth);
        oCanvas.setAttribute('height', nHeight);
        oContext.drawImage(this, 0, 0, nWidth, nHeight);
        $('#imgThumb').fadeIn();
    }, false);
})(document);

function drawDataURIOnCanvas(strDataURI, canvas) {
    "use strict";
    var img = new window.Image();
    img.addEventListener("load", function () {
        canvas.getContext("2d").drawImage(img, 0, 0);
    });
    img.setAttribute("src", strDataURI);
