const WITH_EXIF_JPG = await fs.readFile('with-exif.jpg')

const decoder = new Transformer(WITH_EXIF_JPG)
const metadata = await decoder.metadata(true)

The metadata will be

    Orientation: 'Unknown (5)',
    'Resolution Unit': 'in',
    'This image has an Exif SubIFD': '90',

Transform Image format

import { promises as fs } from 'fs'

import { Transformer } from '@napi-rs/image'

const PNG = await fs.readFile('./un-optimized.png')

const webp = await new Transformer(PNG).webp()

await fs.writeFile('optimized.webp)

webp

The quality factor quality_factor ranges from 0 to 100 and controls the loss and quality during compression.

The value 0 corresponds to low quality and small output sizes, whereas 100 is the highest quality and largest output size.

Default is 90

Manipulate Image

rotate

Rotate the image with exif orientation, if the input image contains no exif information, this API will have no effect.

/**
 * Rotate with exif orientation
 * If the orientation param is not null,
 * the new orientation value will override the exif orientation value
 */
rotate(): this

Example:

This image has orientation value 5 in exif:

Without rotate:

import { promises as fs } from 'fs'

import { Transformer } from '@napi-rs/image'

const WITH_EXIF_JPG = await fs.readFile('with-exif.jpg')

const imageOutputWithoutRotateWebp = await new Transformer(WITH_EXIF).resize(450 / 2).webp(75)

writeFileSync('output-exif.no-rotate.image.webp', imageOutputWithoutRotateWebp)

With rotate:

import { promises as fs } from 'fs'

import { Transformer } from '@napi-rs/image'

const WITH_EXIF_JPG = await fs.readFile('with-exif.jpg')

const imageOutputWebp = await new Transformer(WITH_EXIF)
  .rotate()
  .resize(450 / 2)
  .webp(75)

console.timeEnd('@napi-rs/image webp')

writeFileSync('output-exif.image.webp', imageOutputWebp)

grayscale

/**
 * Return a grayscale version of this image.
 * Returns `Luma` images in most cases. However, for `f32` images,
 * this will return a greyscale `Rgb/Rgba` image instead.
 */
grayscale(): this

invert

Invert the colors of this image.

invert(): this

resize

/**
 * Resize this image using the specified filter algorithm.
 * The image is scaled to the maximum possible size that fits
 * within the bounds specified by `width` and `height`.
 */
resize(width: number, height?: number | undefined | null, filterType?: ResizeFilterType | undefined | null): this

export enum ResizeFilterType {
  /** Nearest Neighbor */
  Nearest = 0,
  /** Linear Filter */
  Triangle = 1,
  /** Cubic Filter */
  CatmullRom = 2,
  /** Gaussian Filter */
  Gaussian = 3,
  /** Lanczos with window 3 */
  Lanczos3 = 4
}

overlay

/**
 * Overlay an image at a given coordinate (x, y)
 */
overlay(onTop: Buffer, x: number, y: number): this

import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'

import { Transformer } from '@napi-rs/image'

const imageOutputPng = await new Transformer(PNG).overlay(PNG, 200, 200).png()

writeFileSync('output-overlay-png.png', imageOutputPng)

ResizeFilterType:

To test the different sampling filters on a real example, you can find two examples called scaledown and scaleup in the examples directory of the crate source code.

Here is a 3.58 MiB test image that has been scaled down to 300x225 px:

Speed

Time required to create each of the examples above, tested on an Intel i7-4770 CPU with Rust 1.37 in release mode:

blur

Performs a Gaussian blur on this image. sigma` is a measure of how much to blur by.

blur(sigma: number): this

unsharpen

Performs an unsharpen mask on this image. sigma is the amount to blur the image by. threshold is a control of how much to sharpen.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsharp_masking#Digital_unsharp_masking

unsharpen(sigma: number, threshold: number): this

filter3x3

Filters this image with the specified 3x3 kernel. Error will thrown if the kernel length is not 9.

filter3x3(kernel: Array<number>): this

adjustContrast

Adjust the contrast of this image. contrast is the amount to adjust the contrast by. Negative values decrease the contrast and positive values increase the contrast.

adjustContrast(contrast: number): this

brighten

Brighten the pixels of this image. value is the amount to brighten each pixel by. Negative values decrease the brightness and positive values increase it.

brighten(brightness: number): this

huerotate

Hue rotate the supplied image. value is the degrees to rotate each pixel by. 0 and 360 do nothing, the rest rotates by the given degree value. just like the css webkit filter hue-rotate(180)

huerotate(hue: number): this
