This package is powered by the blazingly fast libvips image processing library, originally created in 1989 at Birkbeck College and currently maintained by JohnCupitt.
This is a loosely port of sharp an awesome module for node.js built by Lovell Fuller
The typical use case for this high speed package is to convert large images of many formats to smaller, web-friendly JPEG, PNG images of varying dimensions.
The performance of JPEG resizing is typically 8x faster than ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick, based mainly on the number of CPU cores available.
When generating JPEG output all metadata is removed and Huffman tables optimised without having to use separate command line tools like jpegoptim and jpegtran.

- libvips v7.38.5+
libvips can take advantage of liborc if present.
brew install vips --without-fftw --without-libexif --without-libgsf \
--without-little-cms2 --without-orc --without-pango --without-pygobject3 \
--without-gobject-introspection --without-python
Compiling from source is recommended:
sudo apt-get install automake build-essential git gobject-introspection \
libglib2.0-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libpng12-dev gtk-doc-tools
git clone https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips.git
cd libvips
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --enable-debug=no --without-python --without-fftw --without-libexif \
--without-libgf --without-little-cms --without-orc --without-pango --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
You can use package from the command line (go install github.com/daddye/vips/vips-cmd):
vips-cmd -file test.jpg -width 400 -height 600 > /tmp/test.jpg
Or simply importing the package and then:
options := vips.Options{
Width: 800,
Height: 600,
Crop: false,
Extend: vips.EXTEND_WHITE,
Interpolator: vips.BILINEAR,
Gravity: vips.CENTRE,
Quality: 95,
}
f, _ := os.Open("/tmp/test.jpg")
inBuf, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(f)
buf, err := vips.Resize(inBuf, options)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
return
}

- Intel Xeon L5520 2.27GHz 8MB cache
- Ubuntu 13.10
- libvips 7.38.5
- imagemagick-native - Supports Buffers only and blocks main V8 thread whilst processing.
- imagemagick - Supports filesystem only and "has been unmaintained for a long time".
- gm - Fully featured wrapper around GraphicsMagick.
- sharp - Caching within libvips disabled to ensure a fair comparison.
Decompress a 2725x2225 JPEG image, resize and crop to 720x480, then compress to JPEG.

You can expect much greater performance with caching enabled (default) and using 16+ core machines.
