## What it is
Imagetools is a set of import directives for Vite that transform and optimize images at compile time, powered by sharp. It supports resizing, modern format output, srcset generation, and metadata removal.

## Use cases
- optimize images at build time in vite
- generate responsive srcset from a single image
- convert images to modern formats like webp or avif
- resize images via import directives
- strip metadata from images during build

## When to choose
- you use Vite and want compile-time image optimization
- you need responsive images with srcset generation
- you want to output modern image formats without a separate pipeline

## When to avoid
- you don't use Vite or a compatible bundler
- you need runtime image processing
- you need a full image CDN or on-the-fly transformation service
