Hi everyone, Due to some requirements, I’ll have to download texture into local, then load the downloaded Blob to `BABYLON.Texture()` function. It seems that this works for `.png` textures, but not working for `.ktx2` textures. In [this playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#JHS9QT#2) you can see if I pass the texture url directly into `BABYLON.Texture()` function, texture can be loaded successfully. However in [this playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#IE97NK#3), once I download it to local, convert to Blob, pass URL generated using `createObjectURL(blob)` in to Texture function, texture loading errors out. The error message is `Error while trying to load image: blob:https://playground.babylonjs.com/ed7528e6-418f-469f-8326-2b4be3866883 - Fallback texture was used` I also tried to pass the converted Blob directly into Texture function, still doesn’t work. Wonder if anyone know how I can get this work? Thanks! ---

Hello! On both of your playgrounds, it seems not even the original URL is loading now D: It’s showing this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/1/2/124446898abb3863f1435b292c64453b97515d9d.png) ---

Hello! I have updated both playground with a public example ktx2 texture! Please let me know if they load up or not! ---

Since this is a ktx2 texture you need to let the load know it is a.ktx2 file and its mime type. this way you can use the blob created - [Load texture from memory | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#IE97NK#7) There is no need to define the buffer, the data is provided in the blob itself. ---

Thanks for explaining it! I wonder if I can check Response Header details using `BABYLON.Tools.LoadFileAsync`? ---

So, technically you can already do that, though it’s not the most straight-forward way. Babylon has the concept of a WebRequest, which is a proxy class that allows you (among other things) to add headers and modify a request before it is sent: [Load texture from memory | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#IE97NK#9) Could be simpler, I agree 🙂 ---

Thank you very much! It’s really helpful 😄
