.length on a string gets me the amount of characters in this string. I want to know how many bytes this String needs in memory – ant45de Mar 13 '16 at 11:14

The answers in the duplicate are outdated, nowadays you're simply using Blobs: `len = new Blob([data_url]).size`. – georg Mar 13 '16 at 11:39
