thumbor - open-source smart on-demand image cropping, resizing and filters
Thumbor is a smart imaging service. It enables on-demand crop, resizing and flipping of images. It features a very smart detection of important points in the image for better cropping and resizing, using state-of-the-art face and feature detection algorithms (more on that in Detection Algorithms).

Features

In addition to its basic features, Thumbor stands out with its advanced capabilities. It offers smart cropping that helps in focusing on the most important part of the image rather than blindly following set parameters. This means that the software intelligently evaluates what portion of the image holds more relevance and focuses on it while cropping.

Its optimization feature ensures your images are not only visually stunning but also well-optimized for quick loading times - an essential aspect for website performance and user experience. Furthermore, its ability to apply various filters means you can quickly enhance or modify images without needing separate editing software. Thumbor provides all these tools in a simple and user-friendly interface, making it easy even for those who aren't particularly tech-savvy.
