Description

Designed to democratize image processing, ImageSharp brings you an incredibly powerful yet beautifully simple API built by the SixLabors team.

Compared to System.Drawing we have been able to develop something much more flexible, easier to code against, and much, much less prone to memory leaks. Gone are system-wide process-locks; ImageSharp images are thread-safe and fully supported in web environments.

Built against .Net Standard 1.1, the SixLabors ImageSharp libarary can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios.

Programming language: C#

Manual build

If you prefer, you can compile ImageSharp yourself (please do and help!)

Alternatively, you can work from command line and/or with a lightweight editor on both Linux/Unix and Windows:

To clone ImageSharp locally, click the "Clone in [YOUR_OS]" button above or run the following git commands:

git clone https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp

Then set the following config to ensure blame commands ignore mass reformatting commits.

git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs

If working with Windows please ensure that you have enabled long file paths in git (run as Administrator).

git config --system core.longpaths true

This repository uses Git Large File Storage. Please follow the linked instructions to ensure you have it set up in your environment.

This repository contains Git Submodules. To add the submodules to the project, navigate to the repository root and type:

git submodule update --init --recursive

How can you help?

Please... Spread the word, contribute algorithms, submit performance improvements, unit tests, no input is too little. Make sure to read our Contribution Guide before opening a PR.
