How to convert multiple DIVs into multiple images and download them all at once

Add AnswerTo convert multiple <div>
elements into images and download them all at once, you’ll need to use JavaScript along with the HTML5 canvas element and the FileSaver.js library. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving this:
- Include the FileSaver.js library in your HTML file. You can download it from https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/ and include it with the following code:
<script src="path/to/FileSaver.js"></script>
- Create a function that takes a
<div>
element and converts it into an image using the HTML5 canvas. This function will return a Promise that resolves with the data URL of the generated image. Here’s an example:
function convertDivToImage(div) { return new Promise((resolve) => { const canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); const context = canvas.getContext('2d'); const width = div.offsetWidth; const height = div.offsetHeight; canvas.width = width; canvas.height = height; const image = new Image(); image.onload = () => { context.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height); const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL('image/png'); resolve(dataURL); }; html2canvas(div).then((canvas) => { image.src = canvas.toDataURL(); }); }); }
- Iterate through your
<div>
elements and convert each one into an image using theconvertDivToImage()
function. Store the resulting data URLs in an array.
const divs = document.querySelectorAll('div'); const promises = Array.from(divs).map((div) => convertDivToImage(div)); Promise.all(promises).then((dataURLs) => { // dataURLs contains an array of image data URLs // You can now download them all at once });
- To download the images, create an anchor element for each data URL and trigger a click event to initiate the download.
const downloadAllImages = (dataURLs) => { for (let i = 0; i < dataURLs.length; i++) { const a = document.createElement('a'); a.href = dataURLs[i]; a.download = `image_${i}.png`; document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); document.body.removeChild(a); } }; downloadAllImages(dataURLs);
Put all the code together, and you’ll have a function that converts multiple <div>
elements into images and downloads them all at once.
Note: This solution uses the html2canvas
library to capture the content of each <div>
as a canvas. Make sure to include the html2canvas
library in your HTML file by adding the following script tag:
<script src="https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/dist/html2canvas.min.js"></script>
Remember to adjust the paths to the required libraries based on your project structure.
