Possible bug

Is this a possible bug in a feature of sharp, unrelated to installation?

  • Running npm install sharp completes without error.
  • Running node -e "require('sharp')" completes without error.

If you cannot confirm both of these, please open an installation issue instead.

Are you using the latest version of sharp?

  • I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.

If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest, please open an issue against that package instead.

What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system --npmPackages=sharp --npmGlobalPackages=sharp?

System:
OS: macOS 12.6
CPU: (8) x64 Apple M1 Pro
Memory: 28.89 MB / 16.00 GB
Shell: 3.2.57 - /bin/bash
Binaries:
Node: 14.17.2 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.2/bin/node
npm: 6.14.13 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.2/bin/npm
npmPackages:
sharp: ^0.31.1 => 0.31.1

What are the steps to reproduce?

  • Take any input animated gif
  • Call
    await sharp('input_filename.gif', { animated: true }).toFile('output_filename.gif');
  • File size is more than double the original.

What is the expected behaviour?

Output file size should be the same or nearly the same as the input file size.

Please provide a minimal, standalone code sample, without other dependencies, that demonstrates this problem

await sharp('input_filename.gif', { animated: true }).toFile('output_filename.gif');

Please provide sample image(s) that help explain this problem
