Anyone know a good npm library for cropping images in Convex action functions? keep running into errors with the usual suspects (sharp lib)

This exists, I know nothing about it but the docs look nice: https://jimp-dev.github.io/jimp/. Unless you're actually letting users crop images in-app, I'd also consider using something like Cloudflare's image cdn to serve the sizes you want. Curious what you're running into with sharp though, especially in node env.

I'm going to give that a try, thank you. This is for a back office function not end user initiated croppings in app.

Maybe I missed something with the platform: 'node' call out

Recent tip from Nicolas, mark sharp as an external package: general
