## What it is
A pure-Dart library for decoding, encoding, and manipulating images in many formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, TIFF, BMP, and more). It works with dart:io and dart:html, supporting command-line, Flutter, and web applications.

## Use cases
- resize images and generate thumbnails in dart
- convert png to jpeg in flutter
- create animated gifs with dart
- read pixel values from an image in dart
- decode webp files without native dependencies
- apply filters and effects to images in a flutter app

## When to choose
- you need pure-Dart image handling with no native dependencies
- you target Flutter, web, and CLI from one codebase
- you need broad format support including animated PNG/GIF/WebP

## When to avoid
- you need maximum encoding/decoding performance for large batches (native libs are faster)
- you need advanced color management or RAW camera formats

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, parser
- domain: image-processing, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: dart, flutter, png, jpeg, gif, webp, image-formats, thumbnailing, pixel-manipulation, web
