bimg uses internally libvips, a powerful library written in C for image processing which requires a [low memory footprint](http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=Speed_and_Memory_Use)
and it's typically 4x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings or Go native `image` package, and in some cases it's even 8x faster processing JPEG images.

bimg was heavily inspired in [sharp](https://github.com/lovell/sharp), its homologous package built for node.js by [Lovell Fuller](https://github.com/lovell).
