Process an Image

Let’s add image processing functionality to the application.

Image processing is another feature of our application. With this feature, we can process an image before saving it. For example, we can use this feature to remove the noise as well as rotate, flip, and resize the image.

The sharp package is a lightweight, image-processing package that implements most of the image-processing techniques. This package supports a wide set of formats like JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF images.

Gather metadata

The basic operation that we can perform using the sharp package is getting metadata about an image. For example, we can use the sharp package to get the format, width, height, number of channels, and more.
