You need to know the location of the image on the file system.

If it’s an image from the Internet, you can save it to the system temp folder first.

Install the image-size npm package:

npm install image-size

and you can use it like this:

import sizeOf from 'image-size'

const { height, width } = sizeOf(fileLocation)
