Png Validator

Checks Png files for corruption.

This code is cut out of the much more comprehensive https://github.com/lukeapage/pngjs, so you can have a minimal implementation that only does png file validation.

It checks that the chunk layout is correct, and it checks that the crc code for each chunk is valid.

Zero dependencies and only 2.6 kb after minification.

Available as an npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/png-validator

Usage

There is only a single function exposed called pngValidator that takes a single parameter, which is an Uint8Array with the raw Png file data. It will throw an error if the file is not valid.

import { pngValidator } from 'png-validator';

try {
	pngValidator(buffer);
	// success
} catch (e) {
	// file is invalid or corrupt
	console.error(e);
}

From version 2.0 on there is only an esm version of Png Validator. Use v. 1.1 if you need commonjs.
