Imageflow is a fast, server-side-safe, and correct image processing library written in Rust. This package contains only the native library; use 'Imageflow.Net' or 'Imageflow.AllPlatforms' for the managed wrapper.

README
Imageflow was designed from the ground up for web servers, to give you the fastest image optimization without compromising security or quality. Imageflow is written in Rust.
Imageflow.NET provides an easy-to-use C# API for resizing, cropping, and optimizing images, and is compatible with .NET 5/6/7/8/9, .NET 4.6.2+, and any .NET Standard 2.0 (including Xamarin, etc).
dotnet add package Imageflow.Net.All (nuget) to get started, then README.
What you want, what you really, really want
Imageflow Server, so you can add ?w=100&format=webp etc. to your image URLs and end your reponsive image woes. It gives you enterprise-grade image delivery, startup-grade ease of use, speedy disk caching (with a cutting edge WAL database designed for big files), and multi-cloud storage integration.
Seriously, it's not hard to deploy as a microservice and it's a lot better than trying to code all of that yourself, without making a security mistake.
Here, have some diagrams and marketing.
Guide to Imageflow.Net / Imageflow.NativeRuntime packages
This package version matches the Imageflow version (github) it was created with. Imageflow.Net (github) is versioned/released separately.
Packages that include Imageflow.Net + imageflow.dll (Imageflow.NativeRuntime.*)
- Imageflow.Net.All = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All. Same as Imageflow.AllPlatforms, EXCEPT it is updated every time Imageflow is published, instead of when Imageflow.NET is published.
- Imageflow.Net.All.x64 = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.x64
- Imageflow.Net.All.Arm64 = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Arm64
- Imageflow.Net.All.Windows = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Windows
- Imageflow.Net.All.Linux = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Linux
- Imageflow.Net.All.Mac = Imageflow.Net + Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Mac
The NativeRuntime packages also have meta packages:
Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All = win-x64 + win-x86 + win-arm64 + linux-x64 + linux-arm64 + osx-x64 + osx-arm64
Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.x64 = win-x64 + linux-x64 + osx-x64
Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Arm64 = win-arm64 + linux-arm64 + osx-arm64
Imageflow.NativeRuntime.All.Windows = win-x64 + win-x86 + win-arm64
If you only want to target a single os+arch combo, you can install the specific Imageflow.NativeRuntime.* package you need and Imageflow.Net separately.
.NET 4.x compatibility notes
On .NET 4.x you must install the appropriate NativeRuntime(s) in the project you are deploying - they have to copy imageflow.dll to the output folder. They are not copied transitively.
Packages.config compatibility notes
If you're still using packages.config on .NET 4.x (such as for ASP.NET projects), you have to install Imageflow.NativeRuntime.win-x86_64, etc. DIRECTLY inside your final application, since NuGet is terrible and can't handle the transitive dependencies.
PM> Install-Package Imageflow.Net
PM> Install-Package Imageflow.NativeRuntime.win-x86 -pre
PM> Install-Package Imageflow.NativeRuntime.win-x86_64 -pre
Older versions of Windows may not have the C Runtime
Older versions of Windows may not have the C Runtime installed (Install 32-bit or 64-bit).
License Terms
- Imageflow is dual licensed under a commercial license and the AGPLv3.
- Imageflow.NET is tri-licensed under a commercial license, the AGPLv3, and the Apache 2 license.
- Imageflow.NET Server is dual licensed under a commercial license and the AGPLv3.
- We offer commercial licenses at https://imageresizing.net/pricing
Why Imageflow.NET is Apache 2 licensed
Imageflow.NET's Apache 2 license allows for integration with non-copyleft products, as long as jobs are not actually executed (since the AGPLv3/commercial license is needed when libimageflow is linked at runtime). This can allow end-users to benefit from optional imageflow integration in products.
