Image Resizer and ASP.NET Core

Question

Can ImageResizer be used in an MVC6 (MVC Core) application. We understand that ImageFlow can be (not yet released), but what can we do in the meantime. Many thanks

I also want to know if the current version of Image Resizer can be used in ASP.NET Core projects. – Yesima

It seems Imageresizer people are not very interested even after 2 weeks. May be we should change to ImageProcessor? – Objectionable

Answer 1

Imageflow.NET Server is the .NET Core equivalent to ImageResizer, but is much faster and produces much smaller image files. See https://github.com/imazen/imageflow-dotnet-server

If you want to do your own middleware, use Imageflow.NET directly. See https://github.com/imazen/imageflow-dotnet

Is there a nuget package for ImageFlow? I only see Imazen.SlimResponse and Imazen.Webp, which don't look like the right packages. – Inseverable

There's not yet a C# wrapper for imageflow, thus no nuget package. – Regelate

There is now a C# wrapper for Imageflow, named Imageflow.Net on NuGet. – Regelate

Answer 2

I know this question is old as my grandpa but:

You can use this library, this is in my Repo so I don't know should I recommend it or not, but its exactly what you need,

ImageFlow after all these years still in RC mode so I build it myself

Recommending a solution from your own website/blog/repo is fine, so long as you clearly state your association - which you have done. – Hettiehetty

This solution will not be anywhere near as performant as the official ImageResizer and the name is misleading. – Fyke

@Druse Why don't you commercialize it and make a killing. It looks like the other one (ImageFlow) will never see the light. – Objectionable

@Objectionable I am working on a watermark and disk cache to be added soon. and no plan for earning money just want to help – Druse

I agree you should change the name of this repo - it's extremely disingenuous. – Anse
