  • Main Page: https://stirling-image.github.io/stirling-image/
  • Git: https://github.com/stirling-image/stirling-image
  • Licence: AGPL-3.0 (dual-licensed; commercial licence available separately)
  • Dockerfile: Yes - one docker file image on Docker Hub: stirlingimage/stirling-image, see https://stirling-image.github.io/stirling-image/guide/getting-started.html
  • Demo: No public demo available
    • Summary:
      • Stirling-PDF, but for images – same concept, different file type
      • 30+ tools: resize, crop, compress, convert (JPEG/PNG/WebP/AVIF/TIFF), watermark, colour adjust
      • Local AI: background removal, upscaling, object erasure, face blurring, OCR – all on-device, no outbound calls
      • Batch processing up to 200 files; chainable pipelines for reusable workflows
      • Single container, no external dependencies (no Redis, no Postgres)
      • Full REST API with interactive docs at /api/docs
      • Multi-arch: AMD64 and ARM64 (Intel, Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi)
      • Actively developed – v1.2.1 released 3 April 2026
    • Notes:
      • Natural companion to Stirling-PDF, which already has a Cloudron package
      • Clean deployment story – env-var configuration, named volume for persistence
      • Fully offline AI makes it suitable where images can't leave the machine
      • Docker image is ~9.9 GB due to bundled AI models – worth considering on smaller instances
      • AGPL licence is standard for this type of tool, no complications for packaging
    • Alternative to / Libhunt link: Not yet listed on LibHunt (project is very recent). Functional alternative to remove.bg, Squoosh, Cloudinary image transformations, and ILoveIMG.

    Quick heads up - This project is, as far as I can tell, not affiliated with Stirling-PDF or the Stirling devs:
    See here for more info:
    https://github.com/stirling-image/stirling-image/discussions/8
    So the name is bound to change.

    Hopefully, this also means that the project will follow a different dev path and approach if/when it gains traction.

I need to investigate further to see if this can replace Cloudinrary for dynamic image scaling.
