I have my react project where I edit images and generate a new one. Now I want to download the generated image. I am using cloudinary for that and I have the url of the image.
But the main problem is that I am unable to download the image. I tried
<a href="link" download> Download </a>
But it didn't work. It just opens the image but does not downloads it.
I want to only download the image, nothing more.
If you have any idea please do share

You won't need an external library to achieve that functionality. Just add the Cloudinary flags => attachment transformation (fl_attachment in URLs) and that will set the Content-Disposition header with value 'attachment' and the file will download.

You can optionally set a custom filename of the downloaded file by using the format fl_attachment:my_custom_filename.
