`gfx-php` is a **pure PHP** library for reading, writing and processing **raster images**, without requiring any native extensions such as **GD**, **ImageMagick** or **GraphicsMagick**.

This makes it especially useful in **restricted or portable environments**, where installing or enabling PHP extensions is not possible.
