Welcome to Moar, an on-the-fly image thumbnailer library written in Python and MIT licensed.

Your site design changes a lot, but that means manually generate new thumbnails for all the uploaded images. Not anymore. With Moar you can upload once and generate thumbnails dynamically, just changing a line in your templates.

Example (using Jinja2):

<img src="{{ thumbnail(source, '200x100', ['crop', 50, 50]) }}" />

The thumbnails are cached and can be deleted or regenerated transparently. And the library can be extended to store them in custom backends.
