A browser-side JavaScript library for high-quality, high-speed image resizing using canvas, web workers, WebAssembly, and createImageBitmap. It automatically selects the best available technology to resize images without pixelation.
Use cases
- resize images in the browser before uploading
- generate thumbnails client-side
- reduce image upload size to save bandwidth
- downscale large photos without pixelation
- resize images without a server-side image pipeline
When to choose
- you need fast, high-quality client-side image resizing in a modern browser
- you want to shrink images before upload to save server resources
- you need Lanczos-quality resampling in JavaScript
When to avoid
- you need EXIF orientation handling or metadata preservation (use image-blob-reduce instead)
- you need server-side or Node.js image processing
- you must support legacy browsers like IE
