jQuery Save Image Onclick

Question

On my website I have a jQuery script that, if the download button is clicked it will open the image that you want in new window.

My question is, how can I make this script when you click the button the image will save automatically and not open in a new window.

My code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function (){
            $('#download-btn').click(function(){
                var size = $('#size').val();                
                window.open(size);
            });
        })
    </script>

 <button class="btn btn-success" style="width: 250px;" data-image="/media/result/online_resultjpg_Page68.jpg" data-exam="GMO" data-roll="110211" onclick="downloadCertificate(this);" >Download Certificate</button> <script type="text/javascript"> function downloadCertificate(obj){ var link = document.createElement('a'); const image = $(obj).data("image"); const img_ext = image.split("."); const ext = img_ext[img_ext.length - 1]; link.href = image; link.download = $(obj).data("exam") + "_" + $(obj).data("roll") + ext; document.body.appendChild(link); link.click(); } </script>

Yuseferi script solution could be transformed into a simple anchor tag we put before the closing of the #download-btn one:

<a href='/sites/default/files/toy/jpeg/image-1419683919_4851.jpeg'
   download='MyToy.jpeg'>MyToy.jpeg</a>

By the way, download is a standard HTML5 anchor tag (MDN) attribute and, in script , it is flagged "experimental": maybe because of unwanted side effect. Still Yuseferi solution should be full proof.
