Jimp is a node module used to do image processing which is provided by the npm installer. The Jimp – Javascript Image Manipulation Program is a library written entirely in JavaScript for Node, without any external or native dependencies. 
Various Image manipulation options available in this library are blit, blur, color, contain, and many more.
Image types supported by Jimp :

  • @jimp/png
  • @jimp/bmp
