images-to-deflate-tiff

Generate a deflate-compressed tiff file from one or more images.

Demo

Installation

npm i images-to-deflate-tiff

Usage

import { imagesToDeflateTiff, imagesToZlibTiff, imagesToUncompressedTiff } from "images-to-deflate-tiff";

const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const images = [canvas.getContext("2d").getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)];

// these option values are defaults.
const options = {
  littleEndian: true,
  alpha: true,
  xResolution: 72,
  yResolution: 72,
  resolutionUnit: 2, // 1 (unspecified) | 2 (inch) | 3 (cm)
};

// Compression: 1 (No compression)
const uncompressedTiffArrayBuffer = await imagesToUncompressedTiff(images, options);

// Compression: 32946 (Deflate)
const deflateTiffArrayBuffer = await imagesToDeflateTiff(images, options);

// Compression: 8 (Zlib = Deflate)
const zlibTiffArrayBuffer = await imagesToZlibTiff(images, options);

The argument is an array of ImageData (or object with data, width, height and colorSpace: "srgb" properties).
