Overview
GrapeCity Documents Imaging is a .NET Imaging API library that is a programming interface that allows developers to programmatically create and manipulate images at scale. GrapeCity Documents Imaging is a solution that allows developers to load, process and save images in many different formats in desktop and web-based applications.
fast and efficient
Save memory and time with a small file size through a lightweight API architecture. Scalable, flexible, efficient, and fast, handling small and large TIFFs at top speed. Integrate with client-side image viewers to load, view, edit and save images.
Image Processor
Meets all the needs of a basic image processor: resize, transform, rotate and flip images. Create, apply, and align the images you need in the app so you can use them when you need them.
Advanced Image Effects
Transform an average image into a high-quality, detailed image in less time. Apply advanced image effects such as dithering, threshold effects, halftone transparencies, resolution editing, grayscale conversion, RGB image effects, and more.
Text and Graphics
Dynamically enhance images with logos and text. With extensive font, layout and graphics support, you can turn images into branding elements and professional pages.
Full .NET Core Support
Develop for any .NET platform or major operating system such as Windows, Linux, and Mac using a single code base. Used in apps for .NET Core, .NET Framework, Mono, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.Android.
Image Processing to the Cloud
Use anywhere with cloud-based deployment. With NuGet and GcImaging, you can deploy to Azure, AWS, and AWS Lambda to create services that manage and transform images on the cloud.
Main Functions of Image API ::::::::::
Create Thumbnails
Reduce images, apply various interpolation algorithms and create thumbnails of any size.
Draw text on image
Supports advanced text layout engine, fully supports fonts, text handling, layout and format follow Unicode standard.
Convert Images
Easily convert images (including photos and pictures) to popular image formats such as BMP, PNG, TIFF, GIF and JPG.
Modify Images
Explore bitmap transformations, create thumbnails, enlarge images, index and circular cropping.
Create Icon (ICO)
Creates a multi-frame ICO from a large PNG, reads the multi-frame ICO file, and renders all frames along the diagonal of the resulting image.
From Web Page to Image
Render HTML tables using JavaScript and save HTML as JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP or GIF.
Effects
Learn more about how to change brightness and contrast, saturation, dithering, gamma, threshold, and more.
Drawing
Draw shapes and rounded rectangles with custom gradients, use clipping paths, add various watermarks, and more.
Image Comparison
Compare two similar images with slight differences, PNG vs. JPEG, text rendered with TrueType font hinting, and more.
Animated GIFs
Create animated GIFs from JPG images, convert an animated GIF's truecolor frames to indexed 8bpp, and more.
Other Imaging Effects
Use palettes to convert full-color images to indexed images, or apply color matrices and transparency masks to images.
Advanced TIFF processing
Read and write TIFF frames quickly and easily. Additionally, TIFF compression and color spaces are applied, and tiled, planar, and differential storage methods are supported.
Create tables with complex layouts
Take advantage of the new TableRenderer API to create tables with complex layouts, merge cells, rotate text direction in cells, and draw custom content in cells.
Other Features
Extract EXIF Metadata
Extract all EXIF metadata from images, including shooting time, shutter speed, focal length, light value, location, flash, title, creator, date, description and copyright.
Texting
Performs text rendering, cropping, anti-aliasing, and TrueType hinting. Explore our Japanese and Arabic language packs.
Create multi-frame TIFFs using different image and dithering methods, extract frames from TIFFs, and more.
WebP format
Load and save images in WebP format. (Each example in the demo browser has a WebP format tab.
Miscellaneous
Composite images using blending modes, reduce image color depth without loss of quality, swap color channels in images, and more.
