ImageMagick VS Intervention Image

To tie all this together, we made an org profile for our GitHub organization page. There are some great examples of these, like Microsoft and PayPal. For Fastly's, we wanted something friendly and human so we used Imagemagick to create a montage of all the avatars of the Fastly team members who have contributed to the open source projects in our org:

Python has become a popular programming language for different applications, including data science, artificial intelligence, and web development. But, did you know creating and rendering fully customized videos with Python is also possible? At Stack Builders, we have successfully used Python libraries such as MoviePy, SciPy, and ImageMagick to generate videos with animations, text, and images. In this article, we will look closer at how Python can be used for video generation and explore some of the powerful libraries and tools that make it possible.

ImageMagick is the main tool and can do most conversions and image operations. For example to resize a whole folder of photos and convert to WebP you can do this:

Lack of open governance explains the fork in 2002. [0] The github commit history shows it's still a largely one-person-band. [1] The problems with this include a lack of succession planning, a lack of ability to scale bandwidth, and a narrower pool of ideas. The documentation website is really out-of-date as it mentions using a Borland compiler.

You can rotate it using https://imagemagick.org

If still not confident you can still with other packages for images, such intervention https://github.com/Intervention/image

Not sure of any package that handles that specific use case perse. But if you're thinking of showing a preview, and don't want to load the original file, take a look at an image handling library like intervention

Apple released a new image format called HEIC/HEIF, and it broke many apps that handle image processing. The PHP library Intervention Image caught up to it and added support for the new image format, but somehow, it isn't working at the time of this writing. So we had to come up with a solution.

Glide is actually built on top of Intervention so I'd start looking there. If Intervention has what you need but Glide doesn't, you can probably write your own custom manipulation.

The Intervention Image package is incredibly powerful, however it hasn't been updated since early November 2020 and has open PRs for PHP 8 support for several months, with no response from any collaborators.

If you use Composer I suggest this package: https://image.intervention.io/, it has a sleek API for cropping and resizing.

Intervention Image is a PHP image handling and manipulation library providing an easier and expressive way to create, edit, and compose images. The package includes ServiceProviders and Facades for easy Laravel integration.
