Canvas toBlob is not recognized as a function in Chrome or IE

10,542

Currently, toBlob is only fully supported in Firefox. Internet Explorer has partial support from IE 10, but it is vendor-prefixed to what I assume is msToBlob. There is however at least one polyfill available.

Here are the relevant issues for Chrome and Safari:

For some reason, the WebKit bug is marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX".

    I'm using Cropper to get the blob for a cropped image. I'm using the latest versions of Chrome and IE, but I'm getting 'canvas.toBlob is not a function' in Chrome and 'Object doesn't support property or method 'toBlob' in IE. Seems like I'm following the doc correctly but I might be missing some library or something. Following the doc here and this thread from SO here

    Interestingly enough I can call

    var t = $("#imageToCrop").cropper('getCroppedCanvas').toDataURL();
    

    and it works fine to return the data but toBlob doesn't seem to work.

    Here is my JS and HTML.

    var canvas = document.getElementById("imageToCrop");
    canvas.toBlob(function(blob) {
      var t = blob;
    });
    <div style="width: 500px; height: 500px; display: table; margin: 0 auto;">
      <canvas id="imageToCrop" style="border: 1px solid black;" src=""></canvas>
    </div>

    I also tried this below but seeing the same errors

    var t = $("#imageToCrop").cropper('getCroppedCanvas').toBlob();
