Convert from one format to another with quality control:
fs.writeFileSync('after.png', imagemagick.convert({
srcData: fs.readFileSync('before.jpg'),
format: 'PNG',
quality: 100 // (best) to 1 (worst)
}));
Original JPEG:
Converted to PNG:
quality 100 | quality 50 | quality 1 |

Blur image:
fs.writeFileSync('after.jpg', imagemagick.convert({
srcData: fs.readFileSync('before.jpg'),
blur: 5
}));

Resized images by specifying width
and height
. There are three resizing styles:
aspectfill
: Default. The resulting image will be exactly the specified size, and may be cropped.aspectfit
: Scales the image so that it will not have to be cropped.fill
: Squishes or stretches the image so that it fills exactly the specified size.fs.writeFileSync('after_resize.jpg', imagemagick.convert({
srcData: fs.readFileSync('before_resize.jpg'),
width: 100,
height: 100,
resizeStyle: 'aspectfill', // is the default, or 'aspectfit' or 'fill'
gravity: 'Center' // optional: position crop area when using 'aspectfill'
}));
Original:
Resized:
aspectfill | aspectfit | fill |

Rotate and flip images, and combine the two to mirror:
fs.writeFileSync('after_rotateflip.jpg', imagemagick.convert({
srcData: fs.readFileSync('before_rotateflip.jpg'),
rotate: 180,
flip: true
}));
Original:
Modified:
rotate 90 degrees | rotate 180 degrees | flip | flip + rotate 180 degrees = mirror |

trimFuzz: optional. [0-1) float, default 0. trimmed color distance to edge color, 0 is exact.
width: optional. px.
height: optional. px.
density optional. Integer dpi value to convert
resizeStyle: optional. default: 'aspectfill'. can be 'aspectfit', 'fill'
aspectfill: keep aspect ratio, get the exact provided size.

fill: forget aspect ratio, get the exact provided size
crop: no resize, get provided size with [x|y]offset
xoffset: optional. default 0: when use crop resizeStyle x margin
yoffset: optional. default 0: when use crop resizeStyle y margin
gravity: optional. default: 'Center'. used to position the crop area when resizeStyle is 'aspectfill'

Notes
An optional callback
argument can be provided, in which case convert
will run asynchronously. When it is done, callback
will be called with the error and the result buffer:
imagemagick.convert({
// options
}, function (err, buffer) {
// check err, use buffer
});
There is also a stream version:
fs.createReadStream('input.png').pipe(imagemagick.streams.convert({
// options
})).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.png'));
Identify a buffer provided as srcData
and return an object.
The options
argument can have following values:
{
srcData: required. Buffer with binary image data
debug: optional. true or false
ignoreWarnings: optional. true or false
}
An optional callback
argument can be provided, in which case identify
will run asynchronously. When it is done, callback
will be called with the error and the result object:
imagemagick.identify({
// options
}, function (err, result) {
// check err, use result
});
The method returns an object similar to:
{
format: 'JPEG',
width: 3904,
height: 2622,
depth: 8,
colorspace: 'sRGB',
density : {
width : 300,
height : 300
},
exif: {
orientation: 0 // if none exists or e.g. 3 (portrait iPad pictures)
}
}
Quantize the image to a specified amount of colors from a buffer provided as srcData
and return an array.
The options
argument can have following values:
{
srcData: required. Buffer with binary image data
colors: required. number of colors to extract, defaults to 5
debug: optional. true or false
ignoreWarnings: optional. true or false
}
The method returns an array similar to:
[
{
r: 83,
g: 56,
b: 35,
hex: '533823'
},
{
r: 149,
g: 110,
b: 73,
hex: '956e49'
},
{
r: 165,
g: 141,
b: 111,
hex: 'a58d6f'
}
]
Composite a buffer provided as options.compositeData
on a buffer provided as options.srcData
with gravity specified by options.gravity
and return a Buffer.
The options
argument can have following values:
{
srcData: required. Buffer with binary image data
compositeData: required. Buffer with binary image data
gravity: optional. Can be one of 'CenterGravity' 'EastGravity' 'ForgetGravity' 'NorthEastGravity' 'NorthGravity' 'NorthWestGravity' 'SouthEastGravity' 'SouthGravity' 'SouthWestGravity' 'WestGravity'
debug: optional. true or false
ignoreWarnings: optional. true or false
}
An optional callback
argument can be provided, in which case composite
will run asynchronously. When it is done, callback
will be called with the error and the result buffer:
imagemagick.composite(options, function (err, buffer) {
// check err, use buffer
});
This library currently provide only these, please try node-imagemagick if you want more.
Get pixels of provided rectangular region.
The options
argument can have following values:
{
srcData: required. Buffer with binary image data
x: required. x,y,columns,rows provide the area of interest.
y: required.
columns: required.
rows: required.
}
Example usage:
// retrieve first pixel of image
var pixels = imagemagick.getConstPixels({
srcData: imageBuffer, // white image
x: 0,
y: 0,
columns: 1,
rows: 1
});
Returns:
[ { red: 65535, green: 65535, blue: 65535, opacity: 65535 } ]
Where each color value's size is imagemagick.quantumDepth
bits.
Return ImageMagick's QuantumDepth, which is defined in compile time.
ex: 16
Return ImageMagick's version as string.
ex: '6.7.7'
The namespace promises expose functions convert, composite and identify that returns a Promise.
Examples:
// convert
imagemagick.promises.convert({ /* OPTIONS */ })
.then(function(buff) { /* Write buffer */ })
.catch(function(err) { /* log err */ })
// ES8
const buff = await imagemagick.promises.convert({ /* OPTIONS */ })
// composite
imagemagick.promises.composite({ /* OPTIONS */ })
.then(function(buff) { /* Write buffer */ })
.catch(function(err) { /* log err */ })
// ES8
const buff = await imagemagick.promises.composite({ /* OPTIONS */ })
// identify
imagemagick.promises.identify({ /* OPTIONS */ })
.then(function(info) { /* Write buffer */ })
.catch(function(err) { /* log err */ })
// ES8
const info = await imagemagick.promises.identify({ /* OPTIONS */ })
Install ImageMagick with headers before installing this module. Tested with ImageMagick 6.7.7 on CentOS 6 and Mac OS X Lion, Ubuntu 12.04 .
brew install imagemagick
or
sudo yum install ImageMagick-c++ ImageMagick-c++-devel
or
sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev
Make sure you can find Magick++-config in your PATH. Packages on some newer distributions, such as Ubuntu 16.04, might be missing a link into /usr/bin
. If that is the case, do this.
sudo ln -s `ls /usr/lib/\`uname -p\`-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-*/bin-Q16/Magick++-config | head -n 1` /usr/local/bin/
Then:
npm install imagemagick-native
Installation notes
RHEL/CentOS: If the version of ImageMagick required by node-imagemagick-native
is not available in an official RPM repository, please try the -last
version offered by Les RPM de Remi, for example:
sudo yum remove -y ImageMagick
sudo yum install -y http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
sudo yum install -y --enablerepo=remi ImageMagick-last-c++-devel
Mac OS X: You might need to install pkgconfig
first:
brew install pkgconfig
Tested on Windows 7 x64.
Install Python 2.7.3 only 2.7.3 nothing else works quite right!
If you use Cygwin ensure you don't have Python installed in Cygwin setup as there will be some confusion about what version to use.
Install Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express
(64-bit only) Install Windows 7 64-bit SDK
Install Imagemagick dll binary x86 Q16 or Imagemagick dll binary x64 Q16, check for libraries and includes during install.
Then:
npm install imagemagick-native
imagemagick: 16.09ms per iteration
imagemagick-native: 0.89ms per iteration
See node test/benchmark.js
for details.
Note: node-imagemagick-native
's primary advantage is that it uses ImageMagick's API directly rather than by executing one of its command line tools. This means that it will be much faster when the amount of time spent inside the library is small and less so otherwise. See issue #46 for discussion.
This project follows the "OPEN Open Source" philosophy. If you submit a pull request and it gets merged you will most likely be given commit access to this repository.
