Overview

Gulp-raster is an innovative rasterization plugin for Gulp that leverages the capabilities of PhantomJS to streamline image processing workflows.

This direct approach enhances efficiency, making it an excellent choice for developers looking to easily convert SVG images to raster formats.

The plugin provides flexibility in terms of output quality and file format, allowing users to specify the scale and desired format for their images. Whether you're creating assets for retina displays or simply looking for high-quality raster images, gulp-raster is tailored to meet those needs seamlessly.

  • No Temporary Files: Operates without reading or writing to the filesystem, streamlining the rasterization process.

  • Customizable Scale: You can set the scale rate of the output image to ensure assets are of the desired quality.

  • Multiple Output Formats: Supports various image formats, including PNG and JPG, catering to diverse project requirements.
