HTML DOM createObjectURL() method

The createObjectURL() method creates a DOMString containing a URL representing the object given in the parameter of the method. The new object URL represents the specified File object or Blob object.

Note: The URL lifetime is tied to the document in which it was created.

Syntax:

const url = URL.createObjectURL(object);

Parameters:

object: A File, image, or any other MediaSource object for which object URL is to be created.

Return value: A DOMString containing an object URL of that object.

Example: In this example, we will create an object URL for the image object using this method.
