magick-rust VS image

Hi, I want to make a small image server that can return an image resized to arbitrary dimensions from a source. I could just use something like this: https://github.com/nlfiedler/magick-rust (ImageMagick bindings) but I'm curious if there is a way to do it with pure rust. Thanks!

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.

From https://github.com/image-rs/image

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.
