caire

Why we included this project

Caire is a Go library that resizes images without stretching or cropping. It builds an energy map from edge detection, then removes the least noticeable seams of pixels, which keeps foreground subjects like faces intact while compressing the background. That makes it a sensible choice for automated preprocessing, thumbnail generation, or banner reformatting where the important content matters more than uniform scaling. It works both as an embedded Go package and as a command-line tool, with one algorithm core and a small dependency footprint, so integration stays simple. The README walks through the seam-carving process in enough detail that you can tell whether the behavior suits your workloads before committing.
