How to be able to convert image to base64 and avoid same-origin Policy

Question

I'm trying to convert an image (link) to base64 to be able to store in the Browser side (IndexedDB), but i'm not able to do that, I have been looking for a solution for days and I didn't a solution to my problem.

In this awesome code I'm able to convert an image from internet to Base64, but the problem is that I can't do that for other images on internet because of the Same-origin policy.

How I would be able to avoid that problem or if you know any other solution to convert an image to Base64, that would be really helpful

function convertImgToBase64URL(url, callback, outputFormat){
    var img = new Image();
    img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
    img.onload = function(){
        var canvas = document.createElement('CANVAS'),
        ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'), dataURL;
        canvas.height = img.height;
        canvas.width = img.width;
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(outputFormat);
        callback(dataURL);
        canvas = null; 
    };
    img.src = url;
}
convertImgToBase64URL('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Logo_2013_Google.png', function(base64Img){
alert('it works');
      $('.output').find('img').attr('src', base64Img);  
   
});

<div class="output"> <img> </div>

While converting into base64 you can use a proxy URL (https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/) before your image path to avoid cross-origin issue

var getDataUri = function (targetUrl, callback) {
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.onload = function () {
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onloadend = function () {
            callback(reader.result);
        };
        reader.readAsDataURL(xhr.response);
    };
    var proxyUrl = 'https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/';
    xhr.open('GET', proxyUrl + targetUrl);
    xhr.responseType = 'blob';
    xhr.send();
};
getDataUri(path, function (base64) {
    // base64 availlable here
})
