If you want to customize the transform rule of image you can write a zimg-lua script. Use t=type parameter in your URL to get the special image:

The concurrent I/O, distributed storage and in time processing ability of zimg is excellent. You needn't nginx in your image server any more. In the benchmark test, zimg can deal with 3000+ image downloading task per second and 90000+ HTTP echo request per second on a high concurrency level. The performance is higher than PHP or other image processing server. More infomation of zimg is in the documents below.
