A JavaScript/TypeScript implementation of the Seam Carving algorithm for content-aware image resizing and object removal. It ships as both a reusable library and a hosted web demo where users can resize images or erase objects by masking them.

Use cases

• resize images without distorting objects
• remove unwanted objects from photos
• change image aspect ratio while preserving subject proportions
• learn how the seam carving algorithm works
• shrink image width while keeping the main subject intact

When to choose

• you need content-aware resizing in a JavaScript or browser environment
• you want a simple, MIT-licensed seam carving implementation to study or embed
• you want an interactive demo for removing objects via a mask

When to avoid

• you need high-performance batch processing of very large images (seam carving is computationally expensive)
• you need GPU-accelerated or production-scale image pipelines
• you only need simple scaling or cropping, which standard tools handle faster
