+# Mat.reshape() Implementation
+
+This package now includes a `reshape()` method for the `Mat` class that was missing from the original OpenCV.js build.
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+import cv from "@techstark/opencv-js";
+
+// After OpenCV is loaded
+const img = new cv.Mat(4, 4, cv.CV_8UC3); // 4x4 RGB image
+
+// Reshape to different dimensions while preserving total data elements
+const vectorized = img.reshape(-1, 3); // Auto-calculate channels, 3 rows
+const singleChannel = img.reshape(1, 12); // Convert to single channel, 12 rows
+
+// Clean up
+img.delete();
+vectorized.delete();
+singleChannel.delete();
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+- `cn`: Number of channels in the result matrix. Use `-1` to auto-calculate based on the total elements and rows.
+- `rows` (optional): Number of rows in the result matrix. If not specified, attempts to maintain matrix structure.
+
+## Behavior
+
+The `reshape()` method reorganizes matrix data without copying it, similar to OpenCV's native `reshape()` function:
+
+- Total number of data elements (`rows × cols × channels`) must remain constant
+- When `cn = -1`: Auto-calculates channels, usually defaults to 1 channel for vectorization
+- When `rows` is specified: Calculates columns to fit the total elements
+- Returns a new `Mat` object with the reshaped dimensions
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+1. **Image vectorization**: Convert 2D image to 1D vector
+   ```javascript
+   const vector = image.reshape(-1, 1); // Single row vector
+   ```
+
+2. **Channel reorganization**: Change number of channels
+   ```javascript
+   const singleChannel = image.reshape(1); // Convert to grayscale layout
+   ```
+
+3. **Matrix flattening**: Convert multi-dimensional to 2D
+   ```javascript
+   const flattened = matrix.reshape(-1, totalPixels); // One row per pixel
+   ```
