Get the dimensions of an image

Works in any modern JavaScript environment (browsers, Node.js, Bun, Deno, etc).

Supporting all kinds of image formats is a non-goal. However, pull requests for adding JPEG XL and HEIC formats are welcome.

• JPEG
• PNG (and APNG)
• GIF
• WebP
• AVIF

npm install image-dimensions

import {imageDimensionsFromStream} from 'image-dimensions';
// In this example, it will only read a few bytes of the image instead of fetching the whole thing.
const url = 'https://sindresorhus.com/unicorn';
const {body} = await fetch(url);
console.log(await imageDimensionsFromStream(body));
//=> {width: 1920, height: 1080}

Get the dimensions of an image by reading the least amount of data.

Prefer this method.

Returns the image dimensions, or undefined if the image format is not supported or the image data is invalid.

// Node.js example
import {createReadStream} from 'node:fs';
import {imageDimensionsFromStream} from 'image-dimensions';
const stream = ReadableStream.from(createReadStream('unicorn.png'));
console.log(await imageDimensionsFromStream(stream));
//=> {width: 1920, height: 1080}

Get the dimensions of an image from data.

This method can be useful if you already have the image loaded in memory.

Returns the image dimensions, or undefined if the image format is not supported or the image data is invalid.

import {imageDimensionsFromData} from 'image-dimensions';
const data = getImage();
console.log(imageDimensionsFromData(data));
//=> {width: 1920, height: 1080}
