A single-file PHP library that wraps the GD extension with a fluent, chainable API for loading, manipulating, and saving images. It supports common formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, and AVIF, along with resizing, cropping, filters, drawing, watermarking, and EXIF auto-orientation.

Use cases

• resize and convert images in php
• generate thumbnails from uploaded images
• add a watermark to photos with php
• auto-orient images based on exif data
• apply filters like sepia or blur to an image
• convert jpeg to webp or avif in php
• draw shapes and text onto an image

When to choose

• you need simple image manipulation in PHP without heavy dependencies
• you want a chainable, readable API for resize, crop, overlay, and filter operations
• your project already uses GD and you want a friendlier wrapper
• you need to read/write multiple formats including WEBP and AVIF with alpha transparency

When to avoid

• you need high-performance or asynchronous image processing at large scale
• you require advanced features like color profiles, layers, or vector graphics that GD cannot handle
• your stack is not PHP
• you need GPU-accelerated or machine-learning-based image processing
