Were I to save these particular images then convert them (there are some npm modules that convert image 'files') my server would be filled up with images as these images are suppose to be temporary and on-the-fly for each user, each user gets new about 100 new images when ever they move the page. If webp is not supported then I would fallback to png and the user will have a slower experience. webp would be ideal size to transport via websockets quickly. I say string because of the nature of my application. As I have found out on many attempts that converting a base64 png image into webp from png is just poor speed wise. In node.js I need a way to convert a string from base64 png to base64 webp.
Webp would be ideal size to transport via websockets quickly. Besides, ffmpeg tools are utilized for having a better performance. This module uses two other main modules that are referred to, at the end of this page. By installing this module, you can easily convert (with compression) your media in Node.JS. What I think I need would be a wrapper around this canvas to do wrapper(canvas).toDataURL('image/webp') Īs I have found out on many attempts that converting a base64 png image into webp from png is just poor speed wise. Convert your multimedia in nodejs as easy as you like. Which does not support webp but, it does simulate the canvas element Var jpg = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg") Ĭonsole.log(webp.length, webp) // 263 byteĬonsole.log(png.length, png) // 1918 byteĬonsole.log(jpg.length, jpg) // 1938 byteĭ(new Image).src = webp ĭ(new Image).src = png ĭ(new Image).src = jpg

When you install GraphicsMagick, make sure to also include ImageMagick and install it with a -with-webp flag so that webp is supported. By default all metadata will be removed, which. If no explicit format is set, the output format will match the input image, except SVG input which becomes PNG output. Use toFormat or one of the format-specific functions such as jpeg, png etc. It accepts webp-compressed TIFFs which you can output as a jpg. JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF and raw pixel data output are supported. Var webp = canvas.toDataURL("image/webp") // Chrome only? 1 You can use the convert functionality in ImageMagick to do so, using it through the GraphicsMagick NPM package.
Naturally, I searched for some Nuxt.js modules and found myself npm-installing for a while.

If you look at this code webp out-performs png and jpg by alot Converting Images To WebP With Node.js javascript node Recently, I needed to convert some images to WebP format in a Nuxt.js project.
