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