Hey HN!

Several of my side projects involves in processing images in a complex way(Composing text, formatting, transparent, bounding box, compression, ...). I always end up with bash scripts w/imagemagick as there's few solutions fill the gap.

I created this experimental service to demo the concept brining these bash utilities to web directly, and maybe grow it to an viable API solution.

I'm grateful to hear any suggestions & feature requests!


Security story of ImageMagick is pretty awful. This service should be very careful.


You're absolutely right :)

While thanks to the sandboxing provided by Cloud Functions / AWS Lambda, executing an external shell command(including ImageMagick) is not a nightmare any more! Safety burden transferred to these cloud container services.


Just be careful with container reuse in Lambda.
