# Image Format
The main Tesseract.js functions (ex. recognize, detect) take an `image` parameter. The image formats and data types supported are listed below.
Support Image Formats: **bmp, jpg, png, pbm, webp**
For browser and Node, supported data types are:
- string with base64 encoded image (fits `data:image\/([a-zA-Z]*);base64,([^"]*)` regexp)
- buffer
For browser only, supported data types are:
- `File` or `Blob` object
- `img` or `canvas` element
For Node only, supported data types are:
- string containing a path to local image
Note: images must be a supported image format **and** a supported data type. For example, a buffer containing a png image is supported. A buffer containing raw pixel data is not supported.
