Save jpeg byte array from canvas in javascript without doing base64 step

Right now I'm using this, but I would like to skip the base64 conversion step if possible

function getJpegBytes()
{
 var jpgImg = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");
    jpgImg = jpgImg.replace('data:image/jpeg;base64,', '');

    return _base64ToArrayBuffer(jpgImg);
}

function _base64ToArrayBuffer(base64) {
    var binary_string = window.atob(base64);
    var len = binary_string.length;
    var bytes = new Uint8Array(len);
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        bytes[i] = binary_string.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return bytes;
}
