tint

Tint the image using the provided chroma while preserving the image luminance. An alpha channel may be present and will be unchanged by the operation.

Throws:

  • Error Invalid parameter
Param Type Description
rgb string | Object parsed by the color module to extract chroma values.

Example

const output = await sharp(input)
  .tint({ r: 255, g: 240, b: 16 })
  .toBuffer();

greyscale

Convert to 8-bit greyscale; 256 shades of grey. This is a linear operation. If the input image is in a non-linear colour space such as sRGB, use gamma() with greyscale() for the best results. By default the output image will be web-friendly sRGB and contain three (identical) color channels. This may be overridden by other sharp operations such as toColourspace('b-w'), which will produce an output image containing one color channel. An alpha channel may be present, and will be unchanged by the operation.

Param Type Default
[greyscale] Boolean true

Example

const output = await sharp(input).greyscale().toBuffer();

grayscale

Alternative spelling of greyscale.

Param Type Default
[grayscale] Boolean true

pipelineColourspace

Set the pipeline colourspace.

The input image will be converted to the provided colourspace at the start of the pipeline. All operations will use this colourspace before converting to the output colourspace, as defined by toColourspace.

This feature is experimental and has not yet been fully-tested with all operations.

Throws:

  • Error Invalid parameters

Since: 0.29.0

Param Type Description
[colourspace] string pipeline colourspace e.g. rgb16, scrgb, lab, grey16 ...

Example

// Run pipeline in 16 bits per channel RGB while converting final result to 8 bits per channel sRGB.
await sharp(input)
 .pipelineColourspace('rgb16')
 .toColourspace('srgb')
 .toFile('16bpc-pipeline-to-8bpc-output.png')

pipelineColorspace

Alternative spelling of pipelineColourspace.

Throws:

  • Error Invalid parameters
Param Type Description
[colorspace] string pipeline colorspace.

toColourspace

Set the output colourspace. By default output image will be web-friendly sRGB, with additional channels interpreted as alpha channels.

Throws:

  • Error Invalid parameters
Param Type Description
[colourspace] string output colourspace e.g. srgb, rgb, cmyk, lab, b-w ...

Example

// Output 16 bits per pixel RGB
await sharp(input)
 .toColourspace('rgb16')
 .toFile('16-bpp.png')

toColorspace

Alternative spelling of toColourspace.

Throws:

  • Error Invalid parameters
Param Type Description
[colorspace] string output colorspace.
