In this video I’ll be showing you how to convert an HTML5 Canvas into a downloadable or view-able PNG or JPG image. It’s super easy to do with Data URIs and Blobs.

Download of JPEG in IE (from version 10) is possible by converting dataURL to blob (https://stackoverflow.com/a/5100158/7125186) and than saving blob by window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob or fileSaver.js
