About the processing pipeline

imgproxy has a specific processing pipeline tuned for maximum performance. When you process an image with imgproxy, it does the following:

  • If the source image format allows shrink-on-load, imgproxy uses it to quickly resize the image to the size that is closest to desired;
  • If it is needed to resize an image with an alpha-channel, imgproxy premultiplies one to handle alpha correctly;
  • imgproxy resizes the image to the desired size;
  • If the image colorspace need to be fixed, imgproxy fixes it;
  • imgproxy rotates/flip the image according to EXIF metadata;
  • imgproxy crops the image using specified gravity;
  • imgproxy fills the image background if the background color was specified;
  • imgproxy applies gaussian blur and sharpen filters;
  • imgproxy adds watermark if one was specified;
  • And finally, imgproxy saves the image to the desired format.

This pipeline with using sequential access to source image data allows to significantly reduce memory and CPU usage — one of the reasons imgproxy is so performant.
