SVG with image not working in Safari

[MartinPelijak]

Hi, i am using your incredible library but i have a problem. I want to convert a SVG with an image inside into a png. In Firefox and Chrome everything works perfect, but in Safari the conversion is ignoring the image inside the SVG.

Here is a codepen (the face is the image) https://codepen.io/RainPara/pen/MWvqZNz

Environment: IPhone 11 with ios 15

Same problem

Apparently, the fix is to do a redundant chaining as it takes a little time for IOS to capture the whole data.

This worked for me:

setTimeout(() => {
    // ios/macos redundant painting
    htmlToImage.toJpeg(document.getElementById('template'), { quality: 1 })
    .then(() => {
      htmlToImage.toJpeg(document.getElementById('template'), { quality: 1 })
      .then(() => {
        htmlToImage.toJpeg(document.getElementById('template'), { quality: 1 })
        .then((dataUrl) => {
          const link = document.createElement('a');
          link.download = 'file-name.jpeg';
          link.href = dataUrl;
          link.click();
        })
      })
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error('oops, something went wrong!', error);
      alert('Ooops! Something went wrong. Try again.');
    });

  }, 1500);

Change toJpeg to toSVG or any other format

@GeekyADAMS i found your workaround does work mostly, but not always. Be good to get a proper solution on this!

[GeekyADAMS]

Well, as far as I can tell, this is the best solution for now. The problem is that IOS and MacOS find it hard to “paint” the details of an html content when converting to any image format. You would think that adding enough delay to make sure content is fully rendered would solve the problem but it doesn’t, what works is attempting conversion multiple times in a chain, to make sure it captures all the details.

So depending on the level of details in your content, you might need to increase the number of conversion chains and maybe add a lil bit more delay. Maybe a sane thing to do is to create that detect IOS and MacOS devices and then take in a number for how many repeated conversion attempts you want depending on the details of your content to make sure it works every time.

As a matter of fact, this can be demoed manually by attempting one conversion and download process after another and see how the level of details captured increases.

Maybe the library maintainer can incorporate this in a fix release.

This is still an issue

Can confirm

[TiagoSilvaPereira]

I had a similar issue using this library with Electron 12 on Linux (works well on Windows)

You can use this: save-html-as-image Is a wrapper that resolves the problems with SVG in Safari

I was able to solve this issue by using the toBlob function in conjunction with file-saver.

 const handleDownloadCover = async () => {
    if (bannerRef.current === null) {
      return;
    }

    try {
      // import { toBlob } from 'html-to-image'
      const data = await toBlob(bannerRef.current, {
        pixelRatio: 1,
        cacheBust: true,
        width: 1500,
        height: 500,
      });

      // import filesaver from 'file-saver'
      firesaver.saveAs(data, 'my-node.png');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
    }
  };

I found this solution, working for me

const element = document.getElementById('template');
const imageSettings = { quality: 1 };

  const url = await htmlToImage.toJpeg(element, imageSettings);

  let img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = url;

  const image = await new Promise((resolve) => {
    img.onload = () => {
      htmlToImage.toJpeg(element, imageSettings).then((dataUrl) => {
        resolve(dataUrl);
      });
    };
  });

  return image;

The @kurzenkov-globant solution works perfectly. Thanks

[tarjep]

I am also encountering this issue.

[mattpilott]

@bubkoo can you reopen please

[NicoADavite]

please reopen

[gschattenhofer]

[nazreen]

still an isue

[danny-dang]

I fixed by adding some wait time before downloading the image as mentioned:

const url = await toPng(domElement);

const link = document.createElement('a');

await sleep(500)

link.href = url;
link.download = filename;

document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
document.body.removeChild(link);

Another fix is changing to another library modern-screenshot which is a fork of html-to-image.
