-bimg was designed to be a small and efficient library supporting a common set of [image operations](#supported-image-operations) such as crop, resize, rotate, zoom or watermark. It can read JPEG, PNG, WEBP natively, and optionally TIFF, PDF, GIF and SVG formats if `libvips@8.3+` is compiled with proper library bindings.
