# Offering the output image for download

Using the web [URL.createObjectURL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/createObjectURL) API we can turn a file object into a URL and offer it as a download to the client.

To prevent memory leaks we have to revoke the URL with the [URL.revokeObjectURL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/revokeObjectURL) function when we no longer need the image.
