OSS Imaging Libraries

List of all open-source imaging libraries and their strengths and weaknesses. Please help me improve this page! Submit pull requests for additions and corrections.

We're looking for a cross-platform library suitable for on-demand, server-side image processing. It should have the following attributes:

• Free-threaded (No shared graphics thread)
• Multi-tenanting-enabled (Multiple instances per process)
• Fast hq image decoding, encoding, and scaling
• At least accurate bicubic scaling must be implemented. Bicubic smoother & lanczos preferred.
• No memory leaks whatsoever
• Low RAM use
• Fast startup times
• Fast per-image processing times
• Secure
• Permissive license
