HazeHash

0.1.1

2026-10-06

• First release: three packages, hazehash, hazehash-vue and hazehash-nuxt. See Overview.
• hazehash turns an image into a hash of 16–48 bytes (28 by default) and back into a blurred preview, with the aspect ratio and an optional alpha channel inside. At 28 bytes the mean perceptual error is 49% lower than BlurHash and 20% lower than ThumbHash. See Encoding Images, Decoding Hashes and Benchmark.
• Entry points for the decoder (hazehash, hazehash/decode), the encoder (hazehash/encode), a canvas helper (hazehash/canvas) and Node.js file helpers (hazehash/node, with the optional peer sharp). See Drawing to a Canvas and Encoding Files in Node.js.
• The hazehash command with encode, decode and info. See Encode Command and Decode and Info Commands.
• hazehash-vue: the PlaceholderImage component and the usePlaceholder() composable, with server markup that cannot mismatch on hydration. See PlaceholderImage Component and Placeholder State.
• hazehash-nuxt: a module that registers the component and generates hashes for your images during the build, with a cache by file size and modification time. See Nuxt Module.
• The version 1 format will not change: a hash decodes the same way in every future release. The format is documented on Hash Format.
