[TypeError: Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits]

[ktiniatros]

Trying to calculate the following image throws an exception:

var imagesize = require("image-size");
var url = "http://www.niemanlab.org/images/renewalinvoice.jpg";
var needle = require('needle');

var stream = needle.get(url);
stream.on('readable', function( ) {
    var chunk;
    while( chunk = this.read() ) {
        info = imagesize(chunk);
        if( info ) {
            stream.end();
            console.log('streaming picture', info);
        }
    }
});
stream.on('end', function(){
    console.log('Stream ended');
});

@ktiniatros the 2 problems with this code are

1. imagesize(chunk) throws for bad data, you need to catch that error.
2. this.read() from needle would give you a chunk read from the stream, not all of the data in the stream since the beginning, so you are only passing in parts of the file, while what you really need to pass is a buffer containing everything from the beginning.

[ktiniatros]

OK, got it now..

following your feedback, I fixed my code:

var totalChunk;
var length = 0;
stream.on('data', function( c ) {
    length += c.length;
var newBuffer = new Buffer(length);
    if(!totalChunk){
        totalChunk = new Buffer(c.length);
        c.copy(totalChunk, 0);
    }
    totalChunk.copy(newBuffer, 0);
    totalChunk = newBuffer;
    try {
        info = imagesize(totalChunk);
        if( info ) {
            stream.end();
            console.log('streaming picture', info);
        }
    } catch(e) {
        console.log(e);
    }

});
stream.on('end', function( ) {
    console.log('Stream ended');
});

My goal was actually to get the image dimensions without download the whole image. It works now. IF you have any better suggestion for getting dimensions without having to download the whole file, you are more than welcome :)

var sizeOf = require('./lib/index');

var dimensions = sizeOf('xxx.JPG');
console.log(dimensions.width, dimensions.height);

error:
TypeError: Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits

I encountered this error as well on a quite small jpeg that seemed perfectly fine. I tested out GraphicsMagick as recommended in this SO answer. It returned the size correctly without errors for the given file.

FYI I had this error as well, but I found out it was because the images I was using were saved as CMYK file type instead of RGB. Once I changed the images to RGB the script worked.

[yangsibai]

Have the same error, I think we should use gm before it's fixed.

We ran into the same problem with a CMYK JPG file. Having support for CMYK files would be great (or at least throw an error saying CMYK is not supported).

[apocist]

I'm also getting the 'Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits' error on CMYK JPG files.

However, if the file is resized to be small enough(<150px) the error no longer appears.

[ChenJiaH]

I'm also getting the 'Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits' error and the file is saved as RGB type.
But it's worked when I take it out alone.

---

It has been solved by changed the saved type of the image to decrease the size of the image.

try https://github.com/nodeca/probe-image-size, it works with examples from this thread

@kbradl16 This 100% was the case for me too
THANK YOU!

[fajardm]

me too

[Gatunox]

i have the same issue, any solution?

[Anaphase]

@Gatunox use https://github.com/nodeca/probe-image-size instead

[terminatorheart]

i have the same problem too, if jpg is CMYK mode(which first four bytes are ffd8 ffe1), then image-size won't get right size

[AndrewKvalheim]

Is this the same as #34?
