How to save the contents of a div as a image?
There are several of this same question (1, 2). One way of doing it is using canvas. Here's a working solution. Here you can see some working examples of using this library.
Do something like this:
A <div>
with ID of #imageDIV
, another one with ID #download
and a hidden <div>
with ID #previewImage
.
Include the latest version of jquery, and jspdf.debug.js from the jspdf CDN
Then add this script:
var element = $("#imageDIV"); // global variable
var getCanvas; // global variable
$('document').ready(function(){
html2canvas(element, {
onrendered: function (canvas) {
$("#previewImage").append(canvas);
getCanvas = canvas;
}
});
});
$("#download").on('click', function () {
var imgageData = getCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");
// Now browser starts downloading it instead of just showing it
var newData = imageData.replace(/^data:image\/png/, "data:application/octet-stream");
$("#download").attr("download", "image.png").attr("href", newData);
});
The div will be saved as a PNG on clicking the #download
