这是我使用的，不管边界和矩阵变换:

function clearCanvas(canvas) {
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  ctx.save();
  ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'copy';
  ctx.strokeStyle = 'transparent';
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.lineTo(0, 0);
  ctx.stroke();
  ctx.restore();
}

基本上，它保存了上下文的当前状态，并以globalCompositeOperation为copy绘制了一个透明像素。然后，恢复以前的上下文状态。

我总是用

ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(255, 255, 255)";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

对于自定义颜色，和

ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

用于使画布透明时清除

Chrome响应良好:上下文。clearRect (x, y, w, h);正如@Pentium10所建议的，但IE9似乎完全忽略了这条指令。 IE9似乎对:canvas做出了响应。宽度= canvas.width;但它不清除线条，只是形状，图片和其他物体，除非你也使用@John Allsopp的解决方案，首先改变宽度。

如果你有一个canvas和context是这样创建的:

var canvas = document.getElementById('my-canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

你可以使用这样的方法:

function clearCanvas(context, canvas) {
  context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  var w = canvas.width;
  canvas.width = 1;
  canvas.width = w;
}

在webkit中，您需要将宽度设置为不同的值，然后您可以将其设置回初始值

This is a Free hand drawing Canvas with a Clear Canvas Button. See this live example of a canvas which you can draw on and also when required clear it for redrawing clearRect() is used to delete the prersent canvas and fillRect() is used to again draw the initial canvas which was clean and had no drawings on it. var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"), ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"), painting = false, lastX = 0, lastY = 0, lineThickness = 1; canvas.width=canvas.height = 250; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 250); canvas.onmousedown = function(e) { painting = true; ctx.fillStyle = "#ffffff"; lastX = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft; lastY = e.pageY - this.offsetTop; }; canvas.onmouseup = function(e){ painting = false; } canvas.onmousemove = function(e) { if (painting) { mouseX = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft; mouseY = e.pageY - this.offsetTop; // find all points between var x1 = mouseX, x2 = lastX, y1 = mouseY, y2 = lastY; var steep = (Math.abs(y2 - y1) > Math.abs(x2 - x1)); if (steep){ var x = x1; x1 = y1; y1 = x; var y = y2; y2 = x2; x2 = y; } if (x1 > x2) { var x = x1; x1 = x2; x2 = x; var y = y1; y1 = y2; y2 = y; } var dx = x2 - x1, dy = Math.abs(y2 - y1), error = 0, de = dy / dx, yStep = -1, y = y1; if (y1 < y2) { yStep = 1; } lineThickness = 4; for (var x = x1; x < x2; x++) { if (steep) { ctx.fillRect(y, x, lineThickness , lineThickness ); } else { ctx.fillRect(x, y, lineThickness , lineThickness ); } error += de; if (error >= 0.5) { y += yStep; error -= 1.0; } } lastX = mouseX; lastY = mouseY; } } var button=document.getElementById("clear"); button.onclick=function clearcanvas(){ canvas=document.getElementById("canvas"), ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 250, 250); canvas.width=canvas.height = 250; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 250);} #clear{border-radius:10px; font-size:8px !important; position:absolute; top:1px;} #canvas{border-radius:10px} <link href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <button id="clear" class="w3-padding w3-xxlarge w3-pink" type="button">Clear Canvas</button> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

最快的方式:

canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
c = canvas.getContext("2d");

//... some drawing here

i = c.createImageData(canvas.width, canvas.height);
c.putImageData(i, 0, 0); // clear context by putting empty image data
