ImageData

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The ImageData interface represents the underlying pixel data of an area of a <canvas> element.

It is created using the ImageData() constructor or creator methods on the CanvasRenderingContext2D object associated with a canvas: createImageData() and getImageData(). It can also be used to set a part of the canvas by using putImageData().

Constructors

ImageData()

Creates an ImageData object from a given Uint8ClampedArray and the size of the image it contains. If no array is given, it creates an image of a transparent black rectangle. Note that this is the most common way to create such an object in workers as createImageData() is not available there.
