Resize and crop image and keeping aspect ratio NodeJS & gm

graphicsmagick, node.js

Solution

Try with `imagemagick` package for NodeJS: https://github.com/yourdeveloper/node-imagemagick

im.crop({
    srcPath: process.argv[2],
    dstPath: 'cropped.' + process.argv[2].split('.').pop(),
    width: 200,
    height: 200,
    quality: 1,
    gravity: 'Center'
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log('resized ' + process.argv[2].split('/').pop() + ' to fit within 200x200px');
});

Update: Please note that the node-imagemagick package hasn't been updated in quite a long time. Please consider Freyday's answer since it's most up-to-date.

Problem

I've been trying to create some thumbnails using the `gm` package from NodeJS, but I'm out of lucky. I need to resize images bigger than 600x600 (could be any width/height, starting from the given one) but when I pass the size to gm, it creates an image that doesn't have the same size I requested. For example, given this code, I assume that running `node app /path/to/image.png` I'll receive an image with size of 200x100, but instead I got, say, an image of 180x100 or 200x90... ``` gm(fileLocation) .thumb(200, 100, 'processed.' + process.argv[2].split('.').pop(), function() { console.log("Done!"); }); ``` I've also tried with the resize option. There's even an option to force the size, but the aspect ratio of the output goes horrible... ``` gm('/path/to/image.jpg') .resize(353, 257) .write(writeStream, function (err) { if (!err) console.log(' hooray! '); }); ```
