changedpi

changeDPI

changeDPI provides 2 utility functions that can change the dpi of canvas-generated image, of either dataUrl or Blob formats. The functions work on separating the header from the image data, converting and manipulating just the header, then sticking the header back on the file. In this way, very large images can be converted fast without having to convert the entire contents of an image file. This process is non-destructive—image data does not get modified in the process.

Install

This project depends on node and npm.

npm install --save changedpi

Usage

From a canvas element dataUrl:

// create the dataUrl at standard 72dpi
var dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.92);
var daurl150dpi = changeDpiDataUrl(dataUrl, 150);

From a canvas element blob:

// create the blob at standard 72dpi
canvas.toBlob(function(blob) {
  changeDpiBlob(blob, 300).then(function(blob){
    // use your changed blob
  })
},'image/jpeg', 0.92);

  TODO add example with file reader.
