A Rust library providing encoding and decoding for many common image formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, and more) plus basic image processing functions. It offers a high-level API for loading, saving, and manipulating images via GenericImage/GenericImageView traits.

Use cases

  • decode a png or jpeg image in rust
  • convert images between formats
  • resize and manipulate pixel buffers in rust
  • load images from bytes with format detection
  • encode images to webp or avif

When to choose

  • you need a mature, widely-used pure-Rust image codec library
  • you want basic image processing plus many format encoders/decoders in one crate
  • you need a plugin interface for additional formats via image-extras

When to avoid

  • you need advanced image editing features like layers or full photo manipulation
  • you require GPU-accelerated image processing
  • you need formats not covered by the crate or its plugin ecosystem
