How to make a simple image upload using Javascript/HTML

by

Here’s a simple example with no jQuery. Use URL.createObjectURL, which

creates a DOMString containing a URL representing the object given in the parameter

Then, you can simply set the src of the image to that url:

window.addEventListener('load', function() {
  document.querySelector('input[type="file"]').addEventListener('change', function() {
      if (this.files && this.files[0]) {
          var img = document.querySelector('img');
          img.onload = () => {
              URL.revokeObjectURL(img.src);  // no longer needed, free memory
          }

          img.src = URL.createObjectURL(this.files[0]); // set src to blob url
      }
  });
});
<input type="file" />
<br><img id="myImg" src="#">
