Is it possible to open a file without uploading it to the server?

Question

JavaScript

Good day, I will explain the essence of the issue. The site has an img and input tag with type=file and, accordingly, submit, an image (jpg, png ... ) enters the input. That's actually the question, is it possible to somehow display this picture in img without uploading it to the server?

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure if I understood you correctly, but it seems to me that this is what you are looking for

Answer 2

You can store in localStorage.
The path to the file on the client's system that can be inserted into the page is not accessible from the browser.
