About:
ExactImage is a fast, lightweight C++ library for image processing and decoding/encoding various formats. It provides a command-line tool, 'bimg', for efficient batch processing and format conversion. Its main value is offering a high-performance alternative to ImageMagick for server-side and automated workflows.
Key Features:
  • Fast, low-memory C++ core
  • Supports formats like BMP, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF
  • Command-line tool for batch operations
  • Includes barcode decoding/encoding capabilities
Use Cases:
  • High-speed batch image conversion on servers
  • Automated image resizing and optimization in scripts
  • Embedding image processing into other C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick – More feature-rich and widely supported, but often heavier and slower for simple tasks.
  • GraphicsMagick – A fork of ImageMagick, often considered more stable and lightweight.
