It uses internally libvips, which is 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.

It can read JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF and Magick formats and it can output to JPEG, PNG and WEBP. It supports common [image transformation](#supported-image-operations) operations such as crop, resize, rotate... and conversion between multiple formats.
