# image-decode [![unstable](https://img.shields.io/badge/stability-unstable-green.svg)](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges) [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/dy/image-decode.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/dy/image-decode)

Decode image data from raw encoded binary data in any image format: PNG, GIF, BMP, JPEG, TIFF.

## Usage

[![npm install image-decode](https://nodei.co/npm/image-decode.png?mini=true)](https://npmjs.org/package/image-decode/)

```js
let decode = require('image-decode')

let {data, width, height} = decode(fs.readFileSync('./data.png'))
```

## API

### `let {data, width, height} = decode(buffer, mimeType?)`

Takes input `buffer` with encoded image data and decodes its contents, returns pixels `data` array with layout `[r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a, ...]`. `mimeType` can be passed to skip image type detection.

`buffer` can be any binary data container:

* ArrayBuffer
* Buffer
* Uint8Array
* File
* Blob
* base64 string
