Runnable ImageSharp samples that load real image files from assets/imagesharp and write generated files to output/imagesharp.

Run the project from the repository root:

dotnet run --project SixLabors.Samples.ImageSharp\SixLabors.Samples.ImageSharp.csproj -c Release

Shows a typical web image pipeline:

• loads one landscape JPEG
• applies AutoOrient() before resize operations
• crops a 16:9 hero image with ResizeMode.Crop
• removes EXIF metadata from the exported hero image
• writes the same processed pixels as JPEG and WebP
• writes a square PNG thumbnail

Outputs:

• responsive-hero.jpg
• responsive-hero.webp
• responsive-thumbnail.png

Shows how to inspect an encoded image before decoding all pixels:

• uses Image.Identify(...) to read size information
• uses Image.DetectFormat(...) to identify the source format
• reads pixel depth, alpha representation, bounds, frame count, and resolution from ImageInfo
• loads, orients, resizes, annotates the image with a metadata HUD, and converts the JPEG source to PNG

Outputs:

• metadata-converted.png

Shows image composition with a fixed layout:

• loads landscape and portrait inputs
• normalizes orientation
• crops each source to a uniform tile size
• draws every tile into one larger image

Output:

• contact-sheet.jpg

Shows direct pixel generation with ProcessPixelRows(...):

• creates a blank Image<Rgba32>
• maps each pixel to the Mandelbrot complex plane
• writes each generated color directly into the row span

This is intentionally not a grayscale, histogram, or color-conversion sample; ImageSharp already provides higher-level processors for those workflows.

Output:

• mandelbrot-fractal.png

Shows ImageSharp.Drawing clipping with a real image:

• crops a portrait into a square avatar
• builds a rounded clip shape with RoundedRectanglePolygon
• uses DrawingCanvas.Save(..., clipPath) to clip subsequent drawing
• draws the avatar into a transparent image so the clipped corners remain transparent

Output:

• avatar-rounded.png

Shows boolean path clipping with ImageSharp.Drawing:

• builds a subject path and a clipping path
• groups symmetric operations (Intersection, Union, and Xor) separately from Difference
• labels each operation with both its name and operator form, such as Union: A | B
• shows both Difference: A - B and Difference: B - A because Difference depends on operand order
• draws the clipped result with a photo fill
• overlays the original paths so the operation can be compared visually

Output:

• polygon-clipping.png

Shows how text measurement maps to drawn glyphs:

• measures the same text in separate panels
• prepares the text once with TextBlock
• measures and renders that prepared block instead of shaping text twice
• fills the logical advance, glyph bounds, and renderable bounds regions
• labels renderable bounds as the union of advance and bounds
• keeps each measurement separate so the regions can be compared without overlapping outlines

Output:

• text-measurement-visualizer.png
