Nice post. Looks like I'll need to update the compatibility list: https://github.com/jpsingleton/ANCLAFS#image-manipulation

NB: You shouldn't use System.Drawing in a web app. It can lead to memory leaks and lots of pain. Even the newer WPF equivalents are not safe for use on a web server.

What would you recommend instead of System.Drawing in a web app?

Any of the ones listed in the article?

Unless you have a good reason to then I would recommend against rolling your own (with any library). Use an existing cloud service that specializes in it.
Most b2b saas products have a specific reason to not use a third party for everything - their customers don't want their data sprayed everywhere. Add to that anyone with a government contact.
Nice list. Any idea on the status of IronPython? Is there any road map on getting it into Core?
[OT] I didn't know about this repo. Its so amazing! Thanks so much for maintaining it :)
You're welcome. I'm glad it's useful. It's a community effort so feel free to submit a PR or an issue.

P.S. There used to be a separate website but since GH broke how pages work the domain now just redirects to the repo.
