VIPS is an image processing library for working with large images. It provides fast performance even for multi-megapixel images through parallel processing across multiple CPUs. The core is written in C but it includes bindings for C++, Python, and other languages. The library contains over 350 image processing operations and supports common image formats and color spaces.
