Introduction

GemBox.Imaging is a .NET component that enables you to read, convert, and transform image files (PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF) from .NET applications in a simple and efficient way.

Rich Set of Features

GemBox.Imaging allows you to:

  • Convert between PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF image file formats.
  • Resize, crop, rotate, and flip images.
  • Merge and split GIF and TIFF image frames.
  • Adjust image brightness, contrast, colors, saturation and more.

Cross Platform Support

With GemBox.Imaging you will be able to work on multiple frameworks (.NET Framework, .NET Core, .NET, Xamarin etc.) and multiple operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, IOS, etc.)

Unified Programming Interface

GemBox.Imaging provides a single programming interface for multiple image formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF), which makes it easy to programmatically read, modify, and convert images.

Plain and Fair Licensing

We don't charge you additional server licenses. You can use our component for an unlimited number of projects (you don't need to purchase additional "OEM licenses"). Nor do we force you to purchase subscription packages.

Our licensing is very simple; every developer working with our component needs to be covered by a developer license. We don't care if it is a Windows or a web application, how many servers you use, or if you have just one or millions of customers.

High Performance

With GemBox.Imaging you will experience high-performance reading, writing, converting, and other imaging-related tasks.

Simple and Intuitive API

GemBox.Imaging is designed and developed to conform to Microsoft standards and best practices for developing .NET libraries.

Handling various image formats is quite complex, so some components have a very complicated API as a result. On the other hand, APIs like System.Drawing are very simple yet not supported on platforms like Linux. GemBox.Imaging provides both. Its API is simple and intuitive, allowing users to spend less time studying underlying technology and specification, and spend more time on actual application development.
