Let users download manipulated SVGs












1















I am currently working on a webpage on which users will be able to manipulate a SVG-file of the world map to their liking. E.g. users are able to select all European countries, highlight certain ones, and download the resulting file.



I understand that you can include download links like this:





Now that I have not stored the modified SVG anywhere, how would I be able to let users download their modified version of the SVG?



I store the SVG inline so that I can directly manipulate its attributes from the javascript file.



I looked into cropper.js but this only works with canvas and img objects.

  • You should be able to output your SVG as a blob and link to it for download.
