Because canvas === null you forget to add canvas element with id "canvasRegn" to avoid error You can use Optional chaining (?.) "Optional chaining (?.) - JavaScript | MDN" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining canvas?.getContext

ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕘𝕠𝕫𝕚𝕖 𝔸𝕟𝕪𝕒𝕖𝕛𝕚🇳🇬 i mean to say 1. You haven't created canvas elements so , document.getElementById("canvasRegn") Will return null 2. Null don't have any property called getContext so it will throw an error To avoid this error using can use Optional chaining (?.) how it works ? you can view MDN link

As Mirielle writes, it works changing the image https://art.pixilart.com/2b2f3aabe30daa5.png is giving a directory path rather than an image valid? another issue is that dimensions are hard-coded for a small canvas
