Security story of ImageMagick is pretty awful. This service should be very careful.

You're absolutely right :)

While thanks to the sandboxing provided by Cloud Functions / AWS Lambda, executing an external shell command(including ImageMagick) is not a nightmare any more! Safety burden transferred to these cloud container services.

Just be careful with container reuse in Lambda.
Hey HN!

Several of my side projects involves in processing images in a complex way(Composing text, formatting, transparent, bounding box, compression, ...). I always end up with bash scripts w/imagemagick as there's few solutions fill the gap.

I created this experimental service to demo the concept brining these bash utilities to web directly, and maybe grow it to an viable API solution.

I'm grateful to hear any suggestions & feature requests!
