image VS photon

It uses https://github.com/1Password/arboard and https://github.com/image-rs/image under the hood. I haven't tested deeply but I assume it should handle many formats out of the box.

You can use the image crate.

As for image processing, I'd start on crates.io and search for "image processing" and skim through to find the most downloaded crates -- image seems to be the most popular, with over 7 million downloads, so I'd check if that has what you want, and if not photon-rs seemed relatively mature with perhaps more features (albeit far less commonly used)

Glad it worked out for you—it seemed like the features are there for basic image conversion, but try to do something a little more sophisticated and you run into some severe design limits. Here is the kind of underlying problem I’m talking about:

https://github.com/image-rs/image/issues/1523

Side note the image-rs crate in the Rust ecosystem has no external dependencies and can encode and decode animated gifs and a variety of other image formats, 100% rust https://github.com/image-rs/image

I believe that photon uses image internally which only provides the ability to overlay another image. The crate imageproc extends image and adds the draw_text method.

And for image resizing I used the "image" crate: https://crates.io/crates/image. Note that while in development mode resizing an image takes a long time (several seconds for me), but in production mode it is lightning fast. I spent some time trying to figure this out :D

Why not just add support for QOI to image?

The image create is actually pretty good. It decodes a lot of stuff natively, and encodes to JPEG and PNG. I actually used it to make something very similar.

the image crate might be just what you're looking for. more specifically, the gif encoder can do exactly what you want.

What you describe reminded me of photon. Check out the website. If there isn't an overlap of functionality then you can definitely integrate it into your own site.

For the image, you are able to either use your webcam to take a photo, or upload a photo of your own before moving onto the filters. Image filtering is included in most image manipulation libraries. I had used ImageMagick before, but had a terrible time with it. I wanted to find a better way to do Instagram-like filtering. I came across Photon, a high performance image processing library written in Rust and can be compiled to WebAssembly, and there was already a React demo so it was easy to integrate. Once you choose the filter you want, you move onto the decoration stage.
