# imsz
[](https://github.com/panzi/imsz/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[](https://github.com/panzi/imsz/blob/main/LICENSE)
[Reference](https://panzi.github.io/imsz/imsz) – [C API](https://panzi.github.io/imsz/c)
Get width and height from an image file reading as few bytes as possible.
This is a fork of [scardine/imsz](https://github.com/scardine/imsz) that adds
support for more file formats, but also breaks API compatibility in order to be
more idiomatic Rust. It also provides a C library wrapper. For more information
on how this started see the mentioned link.
The library itself has zero dependencies, but the example binary uses
[clap](https://crates.io/crates/clap).
## Usage
There is a simple example binary:
```bash
$ cargo run -q --example imsz testdata/image.gif
testdata/image.gif: GIF, 32 x 16
$ cargo run -q --example imsz -- --help
imsz 0.3.0

USAGE:
imsz [FILES]...
ARGS:
<FILES>...
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
```
The relevant parts:
```Rust
use imsz::imsz;
let info = imsz(filename)?;
println!("{}: {}, {} x {}", filename, info.format, info.width, info.height);
// testdata/image.gif: GIF, 32 x 16
// or for already opened files:
let info = imsz(File::open(filename)?);
// or for in memory buffers:
let info = imsz(b"\x89PNG\r\n\x1a\n...");
// or for *anything* implementing Read and Seek:
use imsz::imsz_from_reader;
let mut file = BufReader::new(File::open(filename)?);
let info = imsz_from_reader(&mut file)?;
```
