Imagine is an object-oriented image manipulation library for PHP, inspired by Python's PIL. It provides a unified API over GD2, Imagick, and Gmagick for resizing, cropping, drawing, masking, and applying filters to images.

Use cases

  • resize and crop images in php
  • generate thumbnails with php
  • unified api over gd and imagemagick in php
  • draw shapes and write text on images in php
  • apply image masks for transparency
  • auto-rotate images based on exif data

When to choose

  • you need a consistent OO image API across multiple PHP image drivers
  • you want drawing, masking, and manipulation without touching driver-specific code
  • your project runs on PHP 7.1+ and uses composer

When to avoid

  • you need cutting-edge image processing like deep-learning-based enhancement
  • you work outside PHP
  • you only need a single driver and prefer its native API directly
