bimg

Go library for blazing fast image processing based on libvips using C bindings.

bimg was focused on performance, resizing an image with libvips is typically 4x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

bimg was heavily inspired in sharp, a great node.js package for image processing build by Lovell Fuller.

Work in progress

Prerequisites

• libvips v7.40.0+ (7.42.0+ recommended)
• C++11 compatible compiler such as gcc 4.6+ or clang 3.0+

Installation

go get gopkg.in/h2non/bimg.v0

Requires Go 1.3+

libvips

Run the following script as sudo (supports OSX, Debian/Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, Amazon Linux):

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lovell/sharp/master/preinstall.sh | sudo bash -

The install script requires curl and pkg-config.

API

import (
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "gopkg.in/h2non/bimg"
)

options := bimg.Options{
    Width:        800,
    Height:       600,
    Crop:         true,
    Quality:      95,
}

newImage, err := bimg.Resize(image, options)
if err != nil {
  fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
}
