I downloaded an image cropping tool and it working fine . but it returns a Base64. I want that to be saved as a image file in the local drive. Help me with the code . Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

try this code for rendering a base64 data (say base64_string ) into an image

var html = "<img src='data:image/png;base64," + base64_string + "'>";
document.body.appendChild( html );

also you need to put this code in the onload event of the reader api

reader.onload = function(event) {
       var html = "<img src='data:image/png;base64," + event.target.result + "'>";
       document.body.appendChild( html );
   };
