method
File.imageimage(options?:
ConstructorOptions):
Image;
Wrap this blob in a Bun.Image pipeline. Equivalent to new Bun.Image(this, options) — the constructor is synchronous (the underlying read happens lazily when an Image terminal is awaited), so this works on Bun.file(), Bun.s3(), fd-backed and in-memory blobs alike:
await Bun.file("photo.jpg").image().resize(400).webp().write("thumb.webp");
Referenced typesinterface
ConstructorOptionsautoOrient?: boolean
Apply EXIF Orientation (JPEG) before any other operation.
maxPixels?: number
Reject inputs whose width × height exceeds this many pixels. The check runs after the header is read but before any pixel buffer is allocated, so a tiny file claiming a huge canvas is refused cheaply.

ModulateOptionsbrightness?: number
Multiplier; 1 leaves brightness unchanged.

saturation?: number
0 = greyscale, 1 = unchanged, >1 = more saturated.
interface
ResizeOptionsfilter?:
FilterResampling kernel.
fit?: 'fill' | 'inside'
"fill" stretches to exactly width×height. "inside" preserves aspect ratio so the result fits within width×height.
withoutEnlargement?: boolean
Never upscale — if the source is already smaller, leave it.
type
ErrorCode = 'ERR_IMAGE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED' | 'ERR_IMAGE_TOO_MANY_PIXELS' | 'ERR_IMAGE_DECODE_FAILED' | 'ERR_IMAGE_ENCODE_FAILED' | 'ERR_IMAGE_UNKNOWN_FORMAT' | 'ERR_INVALID_STATE'
Stable error.code values set on rejections from Bun.Image terminals. Branch on these instead of parsing the message.
ERR_IMAGE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED — the requested format isn't available on this machine (HEIC/AVIF without the OS codec, TIFF on Linux). Catch this to fall back to a portable format.ERR_IMAGE_TOO_MANY_PIXELS — header dimensions or resize output exceed maxPixels, or a path-backed input is over the 256 MiB cap.ERR_IMAGE_DECODE_FAILED / ERR_IMAGE_ENCODE_FAILED — codec error.ERR_IMAGE_UNKNOWN_FORMAT — input bytes didn't match any sniffer.ERR_INVALID_STATE — the input ArrayBuffer was transferred between construction and the terminal call.File-backed inputs surface the underlying syscall code (ENOENT, EACCES, …) directly.type
Filter = 'nearest' | 'box' | 'bilinear' | 'linear' | 'cubic' | 'mitchell' | 'lanczos2' | 'lanczos3' | 'mks2013' | 'mks2021'type
Format = 'jpeg' | 'png' | 'webp' | 'heic' | 'avif' | 'bmp' | 'tiff' | 'gif'
bmp/tiff/gif are decode-only — metadata().format may report them but there are no .bmp()/.tiff()/.gif() encoder methods. tiff decode rejects with error.code === "ERR_IMAGE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED" on Linux; gif decodes the first frame everywhere.
