最短的方法:

canvas.width += 0

如果你只使用clearRect，如果你在一个表单中提交你的图纸，你会得到一个提交而不是清除，或者可能它可以先清除，然后上传一个无效的图纸，所以你需要在函数的开头添加一个preventDefault:

   function clearCanvas(canvas,ctx) {
        event.preventDefault();
        ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
    }


<input type="button" value="Clear Sketchpad" id="clearbutton" onclick="clearCanvas(canvas,ctx);">

希望它能帮助到别人。

如果你在画线条，请确保不要忘记:

context.beginPath();

否则这些行就不会被清除。

这里有很多很好的答案。 还有一点需要注意的是，有时候只清除部分画布也很有趣。 也就是说，“淡出”之前的图像，而不是完全擦除它。 这样可以产生很好的轨迹效果。

很容易。假设你的背景颜色是白色:

// assuming background color = white and "eraseAlpha" is a value from 0 to 1.
myContext.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 255, 255, " + eraseAlpha + ")";
myContext.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);

现在有一个.reset()方法，它不仅会清除画布缓冲区，还会完全重置上下文的所有属性(样式等)，重置它的转换矩阵，清除它的当前子路径，清除它的状态堆栈(由save()和restore()控制)，并删除所有的剪辑区域。

context.reset();
// now 'context' is clear as new

基本上，它具有与canvas相同的效果。Width += 0，除了它更习惯。

然而，在当前的Chromium实现中，它似乎和canvas一样慢。Width += 0时，它也会生成一个新的缓冲区，而不是简单地清除前一个缓冲区(导致更多的内存垃圾)。另一个警告是，它目前只在铬浏览器中支持。 虽然要填充它，你可以去Chrome的方式

if (!CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset) {
  CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset = function() {
    this.canvas.width += 0;
  };
}
if (!OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset) {
  OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset = function() {
    this.canvas.width += 0;
  };
}

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>
