I know we can use this code to enable CORS on a single image
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = '';
img.src = 'http://crossdomain.com/image.jpg';
canvas.width = img.width;
canvas.height = img.height;
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
Is there any way to do it for multiple image URLs at once?
URL array
To load several images enabling CORS request, you can use an array which is practical for this purpose.
One thing to be aware of is that requesting CORS can be denied by server. The browser may fail loading the image in those cases so you will need to know in advance if CORS need to be requested or not.
Example loader
var urls = [url1, url2, url3, ...]; // etc. replace with actual URLs
var images = []; // store the loaded images
var i = 0, len = urls.length;
var count = len; // for load and error handlers
for(; i < len; i++) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = loadHandler;
img.onerror = img.onabort = errorHandler;
img.crossOrigin = ""; // enable CORS request
img.src = urls[i]; // set src last
images.push(img); // store in array
}
function loadHandler() {
if (!--count) callback(); // loading done
}
function errorHandler() {
// handle errors here
loadHandler(); // make sure to update counter/callback
}
function callback() {
// ... ready, continue from here
}
Demo
var urls = [
"http://i.imgur.com/0LINzxs.jpg", // random urls from imgur..
"http://i.imgur.com/6ksiMgS.jpg",
"http://i.imgur.com/aGQSLi9.jpg"
];
var images = []; // store the loaded images
var i = 0, len = urls.length;
var count = len; // for load and error handlers
for(; i < len; i++) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = loadHandler;
img.onerror = img.onabort = errorHandler;
img.crossOrigin = ""; // enable CORS request
img.src = urls[i]; // set src last
images.push(img); // store in array
}
function loadHandler() {
if (!--count) callback(); // loading done
}
function errorHandler() {
// handle errors here
loadHandler(); // make sure to update
}
function callback() {
// ... ready, continue from here
console.log(images);
var ctx = document.querySelector("canvas").getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(images[0], 0, 0);
ctx.drawImage(images[1], 0, 0);
ctx.drawImage(images[2], 0, 0);
console.log(ctx.canvas.toDataURL()); // OK if CORS is OK!
}
<canvas></canvas>
Put the srcs in an array and iterate over them

This allows you to use multiple images from different sources and display them.
use this function as a template to iterate through all the cors src images
