In this article we will learn how we can resize an image in node.js using sharp package.

We can install the sharp package using the following command:

								
>npm install sharp												
								
							

Please Note that sharp package works only on 64-bit architecture systems.

Suppose we want to resize yellow.png which is in the same directory as our code. We can perform it in the following way :

								
//Name of the File : image-resize-sharp.js
const sharp = require('sharp');
const fs = require('fs');

sharp('yellow.png')
    .rotate(180)
    .resize(200)
    .toBuffer()
    .then( data => {
        fs.writeFileSync('yellow.png', data);
    })
    .catch( err => {
        console.log(err);
    });												
								
							

We can run the code using the following command:

								
>node image-resize-sharp.js
