A Node module to get dimensions of any image file buffer

Fork of buffer-image-size

Supported formats

• BMP
• CUR
• GIF
• ICO
• JPEG
• PNG
• PSD
• TIFF (no buffer support)
• WebP
• SVG
• DDS

Install

npm install react-native-buffer-image-size --save

Usage

var sizeOf = require('react-native-buffer-image-size');
var dimensions = sizeOf(imageBuffer);
console.log(dimensions.width, dimensions.height);

Multi-size

If the target file is an icon (.ico) or a cursor (.cur), an images array is available and returns the dimensions of all the available images.

var sizeOf = require('react-native-buffer-image-size');
var images = sizeOf(icoBuffer).images;
for (const dimensions of images) {
  console.log(dimensions.width, dimensions.height);
}

URL

var url = require('url');
var http = require('http');

var sizeOf = require('react-native-buffer-image-size');

var imageUrl = 'http://my-amazing-website.com/image.jpeg';
var options = url.parse(imageUrl);

http.get(options, function (response) {
  var chunks = [];
  response.on('data', function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  }).on('end', function() {
    var buffer = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(sizeOf(buffer));
  });
});

You can optionally check the buffer lengths & stop downloading the image after a few kilobytes. You don't need to download the entire image.
