image-processing
Process images for web development — resize, crop, trim whitespace, convert formats (PNG/WebP/JPG), optimise file size, generate thumbnails, create OG card images. Uses Pillow (Python) — no ImageMagick needed. Trigger with 'resize image', 'convert to webp', 'trim logo', 'optimise images', 'make thumbnail', 'create OG image', 'crop whitespace', 'process image', or 'image too large'.
npx skills add jezweb/claude-skills --skill image-processing --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Image Processing Use `img-process` (shipped in `bin/`) for common operations. For complex or custom workflows, generate a Pillow script adapted to the user's environment. ## Quick Reference — img-process CLI ```bash img-process resize hero.png --width 1920 img-process convert logo.png --format webp img-process trim logo-raw.jpg -o logo-clean.png --padding 10 img-process thumbnail photo.jpg --size 200 img-process optimise hero.jpg --quality 85 --max-width 1920 img-process og-card -o og.png --title "My App" --subtitle "Built for speed" img-process batch ./images --action convert --format webp -o ./optimised ``` **Use `img-process` when**: the operation is standard (resize, convert, trim, thumbnail, optimise, OG card, batch). This is faster and avoids generating a script each time. **Generate a custom script when**: the operation needs logic `img-process` doesn't cover (compositing multiple images, watermarks, complex text layouts, conditional processing). ## Prerequisites Pillow is required for both `img-process` and custom scripts: ```bash pip install Pillow ``` If Pillow is unavailable, use alternatives: | Alternative | Platform | Install | Best for | |-------------|----------|--

What does the image-processing skill do?
Process images for web development — resize, crop, trim whitespace, convert formats (PNG/WebP/JPG), optimise file size, generate thumbnails, create OG card images. Uses Pillow (Python) — no ImageMagick needed. Trigger with 'resize image', 'convert to webp', 'trim logo', 'optimise images', 'make thumbnail', 'create OG image', 'crop whitespace', 'process image', or 'image too large'.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jezweb/claude-skills --skill image-processing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jezweb/claude-skills, a repository with 954 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
