Introduction

What is ImageSharp.Web?

ImageSharp.Web is a high performance ASP.NET 6 Middleware built on top of ImageSharp that allows the processing and caching of image requests via a simple API.

ImageSharp.Web is designed from the ground up to be flexible and extensible. The library provides API endpoints for common image processing operations and the building blocks to allow for the development of additional extensions to add image sources, caching mechanisms or even your own processing API.
