ImageMagick

Hi! I was looking into ImageMagick to create a JPG on the fly from a PDF file in an HTML/PHP project and found out it had to be installed on the server. I was wondering if there are any alternatives that can be run from the webpage without installations on the server-side.

This is my first post in stackshare, so please allow me to apologize if this post is in the wrong place or written incorrectly! Don't shoot me :-)

ImageMagick is a full featured, powerful, scriptable image manipulation tool that has stood the test of time. I usually use it within #Ruby scripts, and mainly for resizing images. You can also add effects and composite images. It has advanced options for everything so you can get just the results you want. It's almost like a programmable #Photoshop.

As an alternative, a modern #JavaScript image resizer is now available, #sharp, if you want to stick within a #JavaScript script ecosystem: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com.
