Bun.Image is Making External Image Libraries Obsolete

Bun 1.3.14 introduces Bun.Image, a native server-side image API for resizing, cropping, and format conversion.

The runtime claims benchmarked performance gains over Sharp, including much faster metadata reads and faster resizing.

Bun.Image can reduce setup complexity and avoid native dependency issues, making media-heavy apps easier to run.

The update targets faster off-main-thread image processing inside the Bun runtime, with fewer external tools to manage.
