A pure javascript JPEG encoder and decoder for node.js
NOTE: this is a synchronous (i.e. CPU-blocking) library that is much slower than native alternatives. If you don't need a pure javascript implementation, consider using async alternatives like sharp in node or the Canvas API in the browser.
This module is installed via npm:
$ npm install jpeg-jsWill decode a buffer or typed array into a Buffer;
var jpeg = require('jpeg-js');
var jpegData = fs.readFileSync('grumpycat.jpg');
var rawImageData = jpeg.decode(jpegData);
console.log(rawImageData);
/*
{ width: 320,
height: 180,
data: <Buffer 5b 40 29 ff 59 3e 29 ff 54 3c 26 ff 55 3a 27 ff 5a 3e 2f ff 5c 3c 31 ff 58 35 2d ff 5b 36 2f ff 55 35 32 ff 5a 3a 37 ff 54 36 32 ff 4b 32 2c ff 4b 36 ... > }
*/To decode directly into a Uint8Array, pass useTArray: true in options
decode:
var jpeg = require('jpeg-js');
var jpegData = fs.readFileSync('grumpycat.jpg');
var rawImageData = jpeg.decode(jpegData, {useTArray: true}); // return as Uint8Array
console.log(rawImageData);
/*
{ width: 320,
height: 180,
data: { '0': 91, '1': 64, ... } } // typed array
*/| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
colorTransform |
Transform alternate colorspaces like YCbCr. undefined means respect the default behavior encoded in metadata. |
undefined |
useTArray |
Decode pixels into a typed Uint8Array instead of a Buffer. |
false |
formatAsRGBA |
Decode pixels into RGBA vs. RGB. | true |
tolerantDecoding |
Be more tolerant when encountering technically invalid JPEGs. | true |
maxResolutionInMP |
The maximum resolution image that jpeg-js should attempt to decode in megapixels. Images larger than this resolution will throw an error instead of decoding. |
100 |
maxMemoryUsageInMB |
The (approximate) maximum memory that jpeg-js should allocate while attempting to decode the image in mebibyte. Images requiring more memory than this will throw an error instead of decoding. |
512 |
var jpeg = require('jpeg-js');
var width = 320,
height = 180;
var frameData = new Buffer(width * height * 4);
var i = 0;
while (i < frameData.length) {
frameData[i++] = 0xff; // red
frameData[i++] = 0x00; // green
frameData[i++] = 0x00; // blue
frameData[i++] = 0xff; // alpha - ignored in JPEGs
}
var rawImageData = {
data: frameData,
width: width,
height: height,
};
var jpegImageData = jpeg.encode(rawImageData, 50);

The encoding is based off a port of the JPEG encoder in as3corelib.
The port to Javascript was done by by Andreas Ritter, www.bytestrom.eu, 11/2009.
