download instead of opening files
Safari ignores the download directive and treats the tag metioned below as a standard href and open it. This makes posting a file dialog to the user from html element.click() impossible. The only method is to option click or right click and do "Download Link As..." on an existing link.
If the user forgets to hold down option, then that Safari opens the file. Even disabling the preference to automatically open "safe" files, Safari still opens them. It also unzip's zip archives. This would be allevieated by providing download support above, since then the proper file dialog behavior from Chome/Firefox would occur.
----------------------------------------
Repost from the archives... This was posted (and unanswered) back in May of 2015.
I'm trying to allow the user to save a dynamically generated 'file'.
What I have works in Chrome/OSX, Chrome/Ubuntu, and Firefox/Ubuntu. The user is presented with a browser 'save file' dialog. Not so on Safari, which displays the content of the 'file'.
The element I am generating is like this:
I create that, then add it to the document body, click it, and then remove it.
How can I get Safari to behave the same as the other browsers?
>The only method is to option click or right click and do "Download Link As..." on an existing link.
I think the download/save as link is the only option? After all, users are trained to follow that process, right?
There is no existing link in this case. This is a download button with <a href="url" download="name"> with js to execute element.click(). Since there's no way to perform an option-click from js programatically you can't post a file dialog. I ended up using a target to push the content to another tab. Then the user has to go to the tab, select save page as, select source instead of webarchive in the file popup, and then save it from there.
That's pretty convoluted if you ask me for a platform that prides itself on user interface simplicity, but better than getting the previous tab content kicked out and replaced with the saved content. Hitting the back button to return to previous tab content isn't always cheap or even possible. IE has the some of the same problems, but has msSaveBlob as a workaround. It also doesn't open content into the same tab by default. Safari doesn't have anything to solve these issues simply as far as I can tell.
Seems that Safari still can't download some blobs (but still tries to display them even if they fail like .zip files). Also the blob name is used for the displayed content instead of the download attribute, so that's also super cryptic for the users. These reports have occurred for years, so I anticipate no resolution to Apple adding the download attribute. The best solution recommended was converting to a data: url and base64 encoding the content stream. That bloats the content needlessly, and still doesn't preserve the filename.

How to Access the Download Manager in Safari for iOS
With iOS 13, Apple has brought a similar feature to the mobile version of its Safari browser in the form of the Download Manager. Now, when you choose to download a file, such as an image or document, a little download icon is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
You can tap the icon to check the status of your downloads, and tapping the magnifying glass next to a file will open its folder location, whether that's on your device or in the cloud.

How to download files using safari on your iphone or ipad.
Need to quickly download a file on your iPhone or iPad? Here's how you can do this using Safari or a third-party app.
Quick Links
How to download files using safari, how to the change default download location, alternative for ios 12 users: documents 5 by readdle.
In your work or personal life, you'll sometimes need to download a file on your iPhone or iPad. Using the new feature introduced in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, you can now do this directly in Safari. No third-party app needed!
Safari's download manager is a hidden new feature in the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 updates. If you're going about your day, browsing the web, you probably won't be aware of the feature. Instead, it comes up when you tap on a download link.
Go to a web page and find the link for a file you want to download. When you select it, you'll see a popup with the filename asking if you want to download it. Tap on the "Download" button.
The download will start, and you'll see a new "Downloads" button appear next to the address bar at the top of the browser. Tap on the button to reveal all current downloads. From here, you can monitor the progress of multiple downloads.
If you want to stop a download at any time, simply tap on the "X" button.
Once the download is finished, tap on the file to preview it. If you've downloaded a media file, image, or a PDF, you'll be able to see it in the preview window.
You can then share the file to any app. Tap on the "Share" button from the bottom-left corner.
Press the "Search" icon next to the filename in the Downloads section to open the file.
Once you open the file in the Files app, you can tap and hold on the file to reveal the menu.
From here, tap on "Delete" to delete the file.
By default, the downloaded files are saved to the Downloads folder in iCloud Drive in the Files app. This is a great option if you have a paid iCloud storage plan because it allows your downloaded files to instantly sync across all your devices.
But if you're on the free, 5GB tier, you might not have space for storing large files.
Thankfully, you can change the default location to local storage. Open the "Settings" app and go to Safari > Downloads. If you can't find the browser on your phone, try using Apple's Spotlight search to locate it.
Here, switch the selection to "On My iPhone" or "On My iPad" depending on your device.
By default, Safari will pick the "Downloads" folder. You can change this by tapping on the "Other" option to select any folder from the local storage (or from a cloud storage option).
The new download manager in Safari is exclusive to iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and above. If you haven't updated to the latest OS (which you should), or if you're in a situation where you can't update, here's a workaround for you.
Try using the free Documents 5 app by Readdle . It's an all-in-one browser and file manager app.
Open the Documents 5 app and tap on the "Browser" button in the bottom-right corner to switch to the browser mode.
Now, navigate to the page with the download link and tap on it. From the next screen, select the folder where you want to download the file and tap on "Done."
The download will now start. You can tap on the "Downloads" tab to view all downloads.
Tap on the "Files" button from the bottom-left corner to switch to the file manager. From here, tap on the "Downloads" folder to see your downloaded file. You can tap on the download to preview it in the app. Tap on the "Menu" button to view options for opening the file in another app.
Safari's download manager is just one of the many new features in iOS 13. Take a look at our list of the best iOS 13 features to learn more.

SHORT ANSWER: you can't. Due this bug is impossible to download the file on safari iOS. The alternative is to open the file on the browser with the proper mime type, so it can show its content (and the user can then manually download it if needed). Make sure to pass mime type when creating the Blob. reference. var blob = new Blob([byte], {type ...
The download attribute is not yet implemented and when trying to open a blob using the URL Safari complains that URLs starting with blob: are not valid URLs. There is a good script that encapsulates (1) and (3) called FileSaver.js but that does not work using the latest Safari version. Is there a way to save Blobs locally in a cross browser ...
download instead of opening files. Safari ignores the download directive and treats the tag metioned below as a standard href and open it. This makes posting a file dialog to the user from html element.click () impossible. The only method is to option click or right click and do "Download Link As..." on an existing link.
iOS/Swift: File Download, Preview, Share and Save Working with files is a little bit (actually really!!) annoying in iOS and Swift. So let's jump right onto it.
@EzekielElin it worked. Just open the Inspector (Alt+Cmd+I) and search for the tab Networks. If the video has been played, it will appear a URL from which you can download it.
I have a problem with saveAs function in iOS Safari -> blob is opened in the current tab and I want it to open in a new tab at least, I am aware that it won't trigger downloading the file but I just need to open the file in NEW tab. I ru...
The Downloads screen in Safari settings also includes an option to Remove Download List Items automatically After one day (the default), Upon successful download, or Manually. Tag: Safari Related ...
Hi, From the demo website it was failed to download by pressing the save button with IOS safari. It just open in a new tab and showing blob url. Following the documentation, tried using on-click, b...
Open the Documents 5 app and tap on the "Browser" button in the bottom-right corner to switch to the browser mode. Now, navigate to the page with the download link and tap on it. From the next screen, select the folder where you want to download the file and tap on "Done." The download will now start.
Download the SHSH Blob: The website will process your request and attempt to retrieve the SHSH blob for your chosen iOS version. If successful, it will typically generate a link for you to download the SHSH blob file or provide a way to save it within the service itself. Save the SHSH blob according to the service's instructions. 3. Manual Method
I can verify that Filesaver does not work with 6.0.2. Safari does have a native Blob constructor. When Blob.js is not included, a new window opens with a blob: url which safari cannot open. If Blob.js is included, a data: url opens. However the data seems to be the base64 representation of toString of the datea used to construct the blob.
The PDF is generated using JavaScript by the website, and loaded through a blob in Safari. I can save the file using the Share sheet of Safari, but I don't know how to use it inside a shortcut. I tried all the ways I thought of to create a PDF from the URL or even to download a file using the Get content from URL action, but nothing works.
iOS 17 brings big updates to Phone, Messages, and FaceTime that give you new ways to express yourself as you communicate. StandBy delivers a new full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to view from a distance when you turn iPhone on its side while charging.

Safari doesn't like your Blob's MIME Type. The correct one is image/svg+xml the charset header is useless, and while I'm not sure it's actually allowed to be there, it is anyway useless. So remove the ;charset=utf-8 part from your type option, and you'll be fine: type: 'image/svg+xml' // this is the only MIME for SVG.
SVG (blob of type image/svg+xml) displays the image but does not download it. The download technique works on iOS Safari as well as all the following desktop browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Here is the code: const blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob); const tempLink = document.createElement("a");
Tried on Firefox and Chrome. I'm sure if it doesn't work on IE or Safari there's a workaround. What I did was using the embed html5 component providing as a src, an URL.createObject(blob) object. That way I was able to render/refresh and download the pdf. // pdfBlob is the pdf fetched from the API as a blob. pdf = URL.createObjectURL(pdfBlob)
