Save SVG as PNG using javascript Unknown DOM exception

Question

I am trying to convert an SVG to PNG through browser using javascript
I've been following the answer on this question Save inline SVG as JPEG/PNG/SVG

It works for the given XML in that answer Unfortunately, I got Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported. when trying to convert my SVG. Here's the snippet to my code. Can anybody tell me why it's not working?

 var btn = document.querySelector('button'); var svg = document.querySelector('svg'); var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas'); function triggerDownload (imgURI) { var evt = new MouseEvent('click', { view: window, bubbles: false, cancelable: true }); var a = document.createElement('a'); a.setAttribute('download', 'MY_COOL_IMAGE.png'); a.setAttribute('href', imgURI); a.setAttribute('target', '_blank'); a.dispatchEvent(evt); } btn.addEventListener('click', function () { var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); var data = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(svg); var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window; var img = new Image(); img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous' var svgBlob = new Blob([data], {type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8'}); var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svgBlob); img.onload = function () { ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0); DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url); var imgURI = canvas .toDataURL('image/png') .replace('image/png', 'image/octet-stream'); triggerDownload(imgURI); }; img.src = url; });

You have issues in your SVG's foreignObject on removing this will solve your issue,

 var btn = document.querySelector('button'); var svg = document.querySelector('svg'); var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas'); function triggerDownload (imgURI) { var evt = new MouseEvent('click', { view: window, bubbles: false, cancelable: true }); var a = document.createElement('a'); a.setAttribute('download', 'MY_COOL_IMAGE.png'); a.setAttribute('href', imgURI); a.setAttribute('target', '_blank'); a.dispatchEvent(evt); } btn.addEventListener('click', function () { var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); var data = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(svg); var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window; var img = new Image(); img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous' var svgBlob = new Blob([data], {type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8'}); var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svgBlob); img.onload = function () { ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0); DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url); var imgURI = canvas .toDataURL('image/png') .replace('image/png', 'image/octet-stream'); triggerDownload(imgURI); }; img.src = url; });
