# sharp

The typical use case for this high speed Node-API module

is to convert large images in common formats to

smaller, web-friendly JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and AVIF images of varying dimensions.



It can be used with all JavaScript runtimes

that provide support for Node-API v9, including

Node.js (^18.17.0 or >= 20.3.0), Deno and Bun.



Resizing an image is typically 4x-5x faster than using the

quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings

due to its use of [libvips](https://github.com/libvips/libvips).



Colour spaces, embedded ICC profiles and alpha transparency channels are all handled correctly.

Lanczos resampling ensures quality is not sacrificed for speed.



As well as image resizing, operations such as

rotation, extraction, compositing and gamma correction are available.



Most modern macOS, Windows and Linux systems

do not require any additional install or runtime dependencies.

## Examples



```sh

npm install sharp

```



```javascript

const sharp = require('sharp');

```



### Callback



```javascript

sharp(inputBuffer)

  .resize(320, 240)

  .toFile('output.webp', (err, info) => { ... });

```



### Promise



```javascript

sharp('input.jpg')

  .rotate()

  .resize(200)

  .jpeg({ mozjpeg: true })

  .toBuffer()

  .then( data => { ... })

  .catch( err => { ... });

```



### Async/await



```javascript

const semiTransparentRedPng = await sharp({

  create: {

    width: 48,

    height: 48,

    channels: 4,

    background: { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0, alpha: 0.5 }

  }

})

  .png()

  .toBuffer();

```



### Stream



```javascript

const roundedCorners = Buffer.from(

  ''

);



const roundedCornerResizer =

  sharp()

    .resize(200, 200)

    .composite([{

      input: roundedCorners,

      blend: 'dest-in'

    }])

    .png();



readableStream

  .pipe(roundedCornerResizer)

  .pipe(writableStream);

```
