Image Processing in NodeJS with Jimp
Full code example: combining images, watermarking, fonts and text
You are requested by a client to watermark an entire library of images, as well as cropping them to a consistent resolution. In fact, your solution needs to be integrated within the client’s existing Javascript infrastructure. This can be done with a simple yet capable (relatively new) package for NodeJS, named Jimp.
Jimp stands for JavaScript Image Manipulation Program, which is simply explained on it’s project page as “The “JavaScript Image Manipulation Program” :-)” — The project page can be found here:
Jimp adoption is on a growing trajectory, currently attracting over 180,000 weekly downloads at the time of this writing.
I found that they are quick to investigate and address issues on Github. Having found an issue myself on version 0.4.0 relating to text alignment, it was addressed within 24 hours and closed within 48 hours with a commit lined up for the next version.
