libvips

23 9,029 9.2 C

A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

Project mention: Building an online image compressor | dev.to | 2024-01-09

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

I love Aves, I switched to it from simple gallery https://github.com/deckerst/aves

govips

5 1,145 7.4 Go

A lightning fast image processing and resizing library for Go

Project mention: Just In Time Image Optimization at Reddit Scale | /r/RedditEng | 2023-06-28

We chose to use govips which is a cgo wrapper around the libvips image manipulation library. The majority of new development for services in our backend is written using baseplate.go. But Go is not an ideal choice for media processing as it cannot keep up with the performance of native code. The most widely used image-processing libraries like libmagick are primarily written in C or C++. Speed was a major factor in selecting libvips in order to keep latency low on CDN cache misses for images. In our tests, libvips was 3–4 times faster than libmagick on basic image processing operations. Content-aware smart cropping was implemented by porting smartcrop.js to Go. This is the only operation implemented in pure Go.

exifr

4 994 0.0 JavaScript

📷 The fastest and most versatile JS EXIF reading library.

Project mention: Exif reader packages | /r/rprogramming | 2023-06-09

I found this tool for JS that allows for 30x quicker exif tag reading than exiftool from photos, and here is a comparison:

GD

3 876 6.3 C

GD Graphics Library
heic2any

3 543 1.8 TypeScript
