Documents Solutions for Imaging (DsImaging) is a cross-platform library for working with raster and vector (SVG) images. DsImaging supports several popular image formats including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WEBP, BMP, GIF, ICO and SVG. It provides powerful text layout, font management and graphics engines that allow drawing high-quality text and graphics on images. It allows you to resize, rotate, and crop images, apply various filters and effects, and convert images between all supported image formats. HTML content can be rendered using the optional DsHtml library (https://www.nuget.org/packages/DS.Documents.Html/). DsImaging does not depend on specific hardware or third-party libraries. It is compatible with .NET 8, .NET 7, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.x, .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher. All features are fully supported on Windows, macOS and Linux.
