Sharp is a high-speed Node.js module for image processing. It leverages the libvips library, making it significantly faster and less memory-intensive than many other Node.js image manipulation packages. Sharp supports operations like resizing, cropping, rotating, and format conversion for various image formats, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, and GIF. With its efficient architecture, sharp is ideal for handling large image datasets and high-volume image processing tasks in web applications and APIs.
