Uncaught typeerror: failed to execute ‘createobjecturl’ on ‘url’: overload resolution failed.

by

In JavaScript, the createObjectURL() function is used to create a DOMString (a URL) that represents the object given as a parameter. However, sometimes this function may throw an error like “Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute ‘createObjectURL’ on ‘URL’: Overload resolution failed.”

This error occurs when the createObjectURL() function is not supported or used incorrectly.

Here are a few possible causes and solutions for this error:

  1. Unsupported Function: Some browsers or browser versions may not support the createObjectURL() function. To ensure cross-browser compatibility, you can check if the function is available before using it:

if (window.URL && typeof window.URL.createObjectURL === 'function') {
  // Code using createObjectURL
} else {
  // Handle unsupported behavior
}
  1. Incorrect Usage: Another possible cause is using the function incorrectly. The createObjectURL() function should be used to create a URL for certain objects like Blob or MediaSource. Here’s an example:

try {
  const blob = new Blob(['Hello, World!'], { type: 'text/plain' });
  const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
  // Use the created URL
} catch (error) {
  // Handle errors
}

Make sure that if you are using the createObjectURL() function, you are passing a compatible object as a parameter to it.
