Easily Create Image Thumbnails with easy_thumbnails

About Django Thumbnails

I took a look at Django's official documentation and didn't find an official library for thumbnails. However, I did find an introduction to using thumbnails in the Django Wiki. Please refer to: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ThumbNails

Description of the Problem

The majority of applications that have images, probably use thumbnails in some capacity. There is no standard thumbnail capability in Django but there are a couple of different options out there that people have created. This page is an attempt to gather them in one place and discuss the best strategy for integrating one in Django.
