Canvas - Combing two images, return one img html object?

Question

I have two html img objects with different src urls. I'd like to combine these two images (using canvas), and create one merged img object.

Is this possible? How?

Answer 1

You can draw both images on the canvas and combine them with any overlay mode you like. To get the bitmap data from the canvas you can use 'toDataURL'. Only note that both images should come from the same domain as the page, otherwise your access to the pixel data is blocked for security reasons.
