A fast, zero-dependency Node.js library that detects image dimensions by reading only image headers, supporting all major formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC, SVG, and TIFF. It works with both files and buffers, offers ESM and CommonJS support, and includes TypeScript types.

Use cases

• get width and height of an image file in node
• detect image dimensions from a buffer or stream
• read image resolution without loading the whole file
• validate uploaded image sizes in a web server
• check dimensions of jpeg png webp heic files
• batch measure image dimensions from a directory

When to choose

• you need lightweight, dependency-free dimension detection in Node.js
• you only need width/height, not full image decoding
• you work with buffers from streams or network requests
• you need broad format coverage including HEIC, JPEG-XL, and KTX

When to avoid

• you need to decode, resize, or transform images (use sharp instead)
• you need a maintained GitHub repo - it is archived and development moved to Codeberg
• you need browser/DOM-based image handling
• you need EXIF or other metadata beyond dimensions
