Announcing Nextcloud Hub 3 – Brand New Design and Photos 2.0 with Editor and AI
One thing I didn't mention that AIO includes is a container called imaginary which is written in Go and processes images. I think this is mainly used here for generating image previews in NC.

Imagor 0.8.5: fast image processing server - now with animated GIF resize, crop, watermark and more
Thanks. This is new to me. How is it different from https://github.com/h2non/imaginary?

There is also battle-tested imaginary tool [1], offering similar functionality and much more, also using libvips

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

WASM instead of C Dependencies?
I have web applications written in Rust and Go that need some basic image processing (reading JPEGs, PNGs, writing JPEGs, WebPs, AVIFs and resizing). This is something I always struggle with, because most libraries for image processing are written in C (libpng, libwebp, mozjpeg; or higher-level ones like vips). While there are usually dependencies in each language build on top of those C dependencies, like bimg for Go, I don’t like having C dependencies in a Rust, Go or even Node.js projects.

Image Compression with Golang
For image processing, I will use the bimg library because in my opinion it has a very intuitive API and is easy to use, in addition to being very fast.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing imaginary and bimg you can also consider the following projects:
govips - A lightning fast image processing and resizing library for Go
imagick - Go binding to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API
imaging - Imaging is a simple image processing package for Go
resize - Pure golang image resizing
Primitive Pictures - Reproducing images with geometric primitives.
goimagehash - Go Perceptual image hashing package
bild - Image processing algorithms in pure Go
fastimage - Finds the type and/or size of a remote image given its uri, by fetching as little as needed.
smartcrop - smartcrop finds good image crops for arbitrary crop sizes
thumbor - The quickest way to run thumbor.
