Question

How do I get the equivalent of a "new Image()" (and then myImage.src… etc), but on NodeJS?

Answer 1

There’s node-imagemagick, (you’ll need to have ImageMagick, obviously).

var im = require('imagemagick');
im.identify('kittens.jpg', function(err, features){
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(features)
  // { format: 'JPEG', width: 3904, height: 2622, depth: 8 }
})
