[![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/fengyuanchen/compressorjs.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/fengyuanchen/compressorjs) [![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/compressorjs.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/compressorjs) [![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/compressorjs.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/compressorjs) [![Gzip Size](https://img.shields.io/bundlephobia/minzip/compressorjs.svg)](https://unpkg.com/compressorjs/dist/compressor.common.js)

> JavaScript image compressor. Uses the Browser's native [canvas.toBlob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/toBlob) API to do the compression work, which means it is **lossy compression**, **asynchronous**, and has **different compression effects in different browsers**. Generally use this to precompress a image on the client side before uploading it.

## Getting started

### Install

```shell
npm install compressorjs
```

### Usage

#### Syntax

```js
new Compressor(file[, options])
```

**file**

- Type: [`File`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File) or [`Blob`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob)

The target image file for compressing.

**options**

- Type: `Object`
- Optional

The options for compressing. Check out the available [options](#options).

#### Example

```html

```

```js
import axios from 'axios';
import Compressor from 'compressorjs';

document.getElementById('file').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
const file = e.target.files[0];

if (!file) {
return;
}

new Compressor(file, {
quality: 0.6,

// The compression process is asynchronous,
// which means you have to access the `result` in the `success` hook function.
success(result) {
const formData = new FormData();

// The third parameter is required for server
formData.append('file', result, result.name);

// Send the compressed image file to server with XMLHttpRequest.
axios.post('/path/to/upload', formData).then(() => {
console.log('Upload success');
});
},
error(err) {
console.log(err.message);
},
});

});
```

## Options

You may set compressor options with `new Compressor(file, options)`.
If you want to change the global default options, You may use `Compressor.setDefaults(options)`.

### strict

- Type: `boolean`
- Default: `true`

Indicates whether to output the original image instead of the compressed one when the size of the compressed image is greater than the original one's, except the following cases:

- The `retainExif` option is set to `true`.
- The `mimeType` option is set and its value is different from the mime type of the image.
- The `width` option is set and its value is greater than the natural width of the image.
- The `height` option is set and its value is greater than the natural height of the image.
- The `minWidth` option is set and its value is greater than the natural width of the image.
- The `minHeight` option is set and its value is greater than the natural height of the image.
- The `maxWidth` option is set and its value is less than the natural width of the image.
- The `maxHeight` option is set and its value is less than the natural height of the image.

### checkOrientation

- Type: `boolean`
- Default: `true`

Indicates whether to read the image's Exif Orientation value (JPEG image only), and then rotate or flip the image automatically with the value.

**Notes:**

- Don't trust this all the time as some JPEG images have incorrect (not standard) Orientation values.
- If the size of the target image is too large (e.g., greater than 10 MB), you should disable this option to avoid an out-of-memory crash.
- The image's Exif information will be removed after compressed, so if you need the Exif information, you may need to upload the original image as well.

### retainExif

- Type: `boolean`
- Default: `false`

Indicates whether to retain the image's Exif information after compressed.

### maxWidth

- Type: `number`
- Default: `Infinity`

The max-width of the output image. The value should be greater than `0`.

> Avoid getting a blank output image, you might need to set the `maxWidth` and `maxHeight` options to limited numbers, because of [the size limits of a canvas element](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6081483/maximum-size-of-a-canvas-element), recommend to use `4096` or lesser.

### maxHeight

- Type: `number`
- Default: `Infinity`

The max height of the output image. The value should be greater than `0`.

### minWidth

- Type: `number`
- Default: `0`

The min-width of the output image. The value should be greater than `0` and should not be greater than the `maxWidth`.

### minHeight

- Type: `number`
- Default: `0`

The min-height of the output image. The value should be greater than `0` and should not be greater than the `maxHeight`.

### width

- Type: `number`
- Default: `undefined`

The width of the output image. If not specified, the natural width of the original image will be used, or if the `height` option is set, the width will be computed automatically by the natural aspect ratio.

### height

- Type: `number`
- Default: `undefined`

The height of the output image. If not specified, the natural height of the original image will be used, or if the `width` option is set, the height will be computed automatically by the natural aspect ratio.

### resize

- Type: `string`
- Default: `"none"`
- Options: `"none"`, `"contain"`, and `"cover"`.

Sets how the size of the image should be resized to the container specified by the `width` and `height` options.

**Note:** This option only available when both the `width` and `height` options are specified.

### quality

- Type: `number`
- Default: `0.8`

The quality of the output image. It must be a number between `0` and `1`. If this argument is anything else, the default values `0.92` and `0.80` are used for `image/jpeg` and `image/webp` respectively. Other arguments are ignored. Be careful to use `1` as it may make the size of the output image become larger.

**Note:** This option only available for `image/jpeg` and `image/webp` images.

> Check out [canvas.toBlob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/toBlob) for more detail.

**Examples**:

| Quality | Input size | Output size | Compression ratio | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0 | 2.12 MB | 114.61 KB | 94.72% | - |
| 0.2 | 2.12 MB | 349.57 KB | 83.90% | - |
| 0.4 | 2.12 MB | 517.10 KB | 76.18% | - |
| 0.6 | 2.12 MB | 694.99 KB | 67.99% | Recommend |
| 0.8 | 2.12 MB | 1.14 MB | 46.41% | Recommend |
| 1 | 2.12 MB | 2.12 MB | 0% | Not recommend |
| NaN | 2.12 MB | 2.01 MB | 5.02% | - |

### mimeType

- Type: `string`
- Default: `'auto'`

The mime type of the output image. By default, the original mime type of the source image file will be used.

### convertTypes

- Type: `Array` or `string` (multiple types should be separated by commas)
- Default: `['image/png']`
- Examples:
- `['image/png', 'image/webp']`
- `'image/png,image/webp'`

Files whose file type is included in this list, and whose file size exceeds the `convertSize` value will be converted to JPEGs.

> For image file type support, see the [Image file type and format guide](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Image_types).

### convertSize

- Type: `number`
- Default: `5000000` (5 MB)

Files whose file type is included in the `convertTypes` list, and whose file size exceeds this value will be converted to JPEGs. To disable this, just set the value to `Infinity`.

**Examples**:

| convertSize | Input size (type) | Output size (type) | Compression ratio |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5 MB | 1.87 MB (PNG) | 1.87 MB (PNG) | 0% |
| 5 MB | 5.66 MB (PNG) | 450.24 KB (JPEG) | 92.23% |

## Methods

### abort()

Abort the compression process.

```js
const compressor = new Compressor(file);

// Do something...
compressor.abort();
```

If you have to use another compressor with the same namespace, just call the `Compressor.noConflict` static method to revert to it.

```html

Compressor.noConflict();
// Code that uses other `Compressor` can follow here.

```
