Elias MÃ¥rtenson wrote in <http://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-12/msg00186.html> that image scaling via Xrender is surprisingly simple. So perhaps an X11 expert could investigate doing that for the X Window System, when ImageMagick scaling is not available or not used. My impression is that the Xrender extension (introduced in 2000) is reasonably popular among X11 servers these days.

Scaling on the server could also be faster (e.g., with hardware acceleration) and/or more reliable, so quite possibly it'd be better to use Xrender to scale even if ImageMagick is available.
