Is there a way to download an image into the browser. And then use that data to draw an image using canvas? I saw a lot of post about XHR request and stuff. But I am new. So I don't have much knowledge about javascript, ajax, or jQuery.

I saw a post here How to be able to convert image to base64 and avoid same-origin Policy but it doesn't seem to work for me and especially I want the code to run on smart phones (android/iOS).

Hello I am new

and you dont have access to the server side code? – Srijith Jul 08 '16 at 08:02
Sure, just download the image on your own server. – adeneo Jul 08 '16 at 08:04
Is there a way to download image on to the browser (client-side) itself? Or download image as temporary file. And then use file as source? – Hello I am new Jul 08 '16 at 08:06
No, you can get cross-origin images, but you can't use them in a canvas, as it violates the same-origin policy. – adeneo Jul 08 '16 at 08:07
So is there an equivalent to canvas that won't violate same-origin policy? – Hello I am new Jul 08 '16 at 08:09
Nope, there's the serverside, which can get the images for you and generate a link on the same origin. – adeneo Jul 08 '16 at 08:10
Can I use 'http://crossorigin.me/' to get around this? – Hello I am new Jul 08 '16 at 08:12
Sure, if you want to use an external proxy, that should work as well. – adeneo Jul 08 '16 at 08:25
Somehow I still got the same error :-/ – Hello I am new Jul 08 '16 at 08:30
