weserv/images is the source code of wsrv.nl, a self-hostable image cache and resize service that manipulates images on-the-fly via URL parameters. It is built on libvips for fast image processing and nginx as web server, forward proxy, and HTTP cache.
Use cases
- resize images on the fly via url parameters
- self-host an image proxy and cache server
- convert images to webp or other formats on request
- serve optimized images from a cdn-backed cache
- proxy and cache remote images for https websites
- compress images to reduce bandwidth
When to choose
- you need fast, on-the-fly image resizing and format conversion served over http
- you want to offload image processing from your application servers to a dedicated service
- you need a self-hosted image proxy with built-in caching
When to avoid
- you only need offline batch image processing without an http service
- you need heavy image editing features like layers or advanced compositing
- you cannot run a Linux server with nginx and libvips
