imo sharp is probably the only thing that comes close. It does not have the full feature set of imagemagick, but it is faster

I had to search what it is about:

https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/

"The typical use case for this high speed Node.js module is to convert large images in common formats to smaller, web-friendly JPEG, PNG and WebP images of varying dimensions.

Resizing an image is typically 4x-5x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings due to its use of libvips."

https://github.com/libvips/libvips

"libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. Compared to similar libraries, libvips runs quickly and uses little memory. libvips is licensed under the LGPL 2.1+."

...which you can just use directly if you're not looking for integration with node js.
