sindresorhus/image-type: Detect the image type of a Buffer/Uint8Array

Detect the image type of an ArrayBuffer/Uint8Array

See the file-type module for more file types and a CLI.

import {readChunk} from 'read-chunk';
import imageType, {minimumBytes} from 'image-type';

const buffer = await readChunk('unicorn.png', {length: minimumBytes});

await imageType(buffer);
//=> {ext: 'png', mime: 'image/png'}

Or from a remote location:

import https from 'node:https';
import imageType, {minimumBytes} from 'image-type';

const url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg';

https.get(url, response => {
	response.on('readable', () => {
		(async () => {
			const chunk = response.read(minimumBytes);
			response.destroy();
			console.log(await imageType(chunk));
			//=> {ext: 'jpg', mime: 'image/jpeg'}
		})();
	});
});
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'unicorn.png');
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';

xhr.onload = () => {
	(async () => {
		await imageType(new Uint8Array(this.response));
		//=> {ext: 'png', mime: 'image/png'}
	})();
};

xhr.send();

Returns an Promise<object> with:

Or undefined when there is no match.

Type: ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array

It only needs the first minimumBytes amount of bytes.

Type: number

The minimum amount of bytes needed to detect a file type. Currently, it's 4100 bytes, but it can change, so don't hardcode it.

SVG isn't included as it requires the whole file to be read, but you can get it here.
