VIPS is described as 'Libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. Compared to similar libraries, libvips runs quickly and uses little memory. libvips is licensed under the LGPL 2.1+' and is a Image Editor in the photos & graphics category. There are four alternatives to VIPS for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and iPad apps. The best VIPS alternative is ImageMagick, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like VIPS are GraphicsMagick, PHPThumb and Thumbor.
ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX.
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing. Comprised of 282K physical lines (according to David A. Wheelers SLOCCount) of source code in the base package (or 952K including 3rd party libraries) it provides a robust and efficient collection of tools and libraries...
PHP Thumb is a simple, modern image manipulation library aimed primarily at thumbnail generation. It provides a clean, fluent interface for common image operations, with two interchangeable backends: the ubiquitous GD extension and the more feature-rich Imagick extension.
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...
