title: Node.js: image resizing without ImageMagick
body: <p>I'm developing a web app on Node.js (+ express 4) where users can set their profile image by uploading it to the server. We already limit the file mimetype and max filesize, so the user can't upload more than 200KB png or jpeg images.</p>
  <p>The problem is we'd like to resize (serverside) the uploaded image resolution to 200x200 to improve page loading and saving space on disk. After some research, all answers pointed to using any module based on ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick.</p>
  <p>However, having to install ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick to do a simple image resizing seems too overkill for me, so, is there any other solution other than this for Node.js?</p>
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've changed the accepted solution to <a href="https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/" rel="noreferrer">sharp</a> as the previous solution (lwip) is no longer maintained. Thanks for all your feedback!</p>
