govips 
A libvips library for Go
This package wraps the core functionality of libvips image processing library by exposing all image operations on first-class types in Go. Additionally, it exposes raw access to call operations directly, for forward compatibility.
How fast is libvips? See this: Speed and Memory Use
This library was inspired primarily based on the C++ wrapper in libvips.
The intent for this is to enable developers to build extremely fast image processors in Go, which is suited well for concurrent requests.
Libvips is generally 4-8x faster than other graphics processors such as GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick.
Supported image operations
This library supports all known operations available to libvips found here:
Requirements
- libvips 8+ (8.5.8+ recommended for GIF, PDF, SVG support)
- C compatible compiler such as gcc 4.6+ or clang 3.0+
- Go 1.9+
Installation
go get -u github.com/perelin/govips/pkg/vips
Example usage
// Resize an image with padding
return vips.NewPipeline().
LoadFile(inputFile).
PadStrategy(vips.ExtendBlack).
Resize(1200, 1200).
OutputFile(outputFile)
