gulp-image-resize-ar

Fork of gulp-image-resize Resizing images made easy - thanks to GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick. Fork of grunt-image-resize.

Install

Install with npm

npm install --save-dev gulp-image-resize-ar

GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick

Make sure GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick is installed on your system and properly set up in your PATH.

Ubuntu:

apt-get install imagemagick
apt-get install graphicsmagick

Mac OS X (using Homebrew):

brew install imagemagick
brew install graphicsmagick

Windows & others:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php

Confirm that ImageMagick is properly set up by executing convert -help in a terminal.

Example

var gulp = require('gulp');
var imageResize = require('gulp-image-resize-ar');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp.src('test.png')
    .pipe(imageResize({ 
      width : 100,
      height : 100,
      crop : true,
      upscale : false
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

API

imageResize(options)

options.width

Type: Number
Default value: 0 (only if height is defined)

A number pixel value that is the target width.

options.height

Type: Number
Default value: 0 (only if width is defined)

A number pixel value that is the target height.

options.upscale

Type: Boolean
Default value: false

Determines whether images will be upscaled. If set to false (default), image will be copied instead of resized if it would be upscaled by resizing.

options.crop

Type: Boolean
Default value: false

Determines whether images will be cropped after resizing to exactly match options.width and options.height.

options.gravity

Type: String
Default value: Center
Possible values: NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SouthWest, South, SouthEast

When cropping images this sets the image gravity. Doesn't have any effect, if options.crop is false.

options.quality

Type: Number
Default value: 1

Determines the output quality of the resized image. Ranges from 0 (really bad) to 1 (almost lossless). Only applies to jpg images.

options.format

Type: String
Default value: Format of the input file
Possible values: gif, png, jpeg etc.

Override the output format of the processed file.

options.filter

Type: String
Possible values: Point, Box, Triangle, Hermite, Hanning, Hamming, Blackman, Gaussian, Quadratic, Cubic, Catrom, Mitchell, Lanczos, Bessel, Sinc

Set the filter to use when resizing (e.g. Catrom is very good for reduction, while hermite is good for enlargement).

options.sharpen

Type: Boolean
Default value: false

Set to true to apply a slight unsharp mask after resizing.

options.samplingFactor

Type: Array[Cr, Cb]
Possible values: [2, 2] for 4:2:2, [1, 1] for 4:1:1

Define chroma subsampling

options.imageMagick

Type: Boolean
Default value: false

Set to true when using ImageMagick instead of GraphicsMagick.

options.keepRatio

Type: Boolean
Default value: true

Set to false to change the aspect ratio when the new width and height don't match old aspect ratio. (options.crop needs to be set to false)

More Examples

// Converting from png to jpeg. No resizing.
gulp.task('convert_png', function () {
  return gulp.src('test.png')
    .pipe(imageResize({ format : 'jpeg' }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

// Only specify one dimension. Output image won't exceed this value.
gulp.task('width', function () {
  gulp.src('test.png')
    .pipe(imageResize({ 
      width : 100
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Recommended modules

• concurrent-transform: parallelize image resizing

var parallel = require("concurrent-transform");
var os = require("os");

gulp.task("parallel", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(parallel(
      imageResize({ width : 100 }),
      os.cpus().length
    ))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

• gulp-changed: only resize changed images

var changed = require("gulp-changed");

gulp.task("changed", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(changed("dist"))
    .pipe(imageResize({ width : 100 }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

• gulp-rename: add a suffix or prefix

var rename = require("gulp-rename");

gulp.task("suffix", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(imageResize({ width : 100 }))
    .pipe(rename(function (path) { path.basename += "-thumbnail"; }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

Tests

1. You need both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick installed on your system to run the tests.
2. Install all npm dev dependencies npm install
3. Install gulp globally npm install -g gulp
4. Run gulp test
