What's the technology that Gravatar uses for us to resize our images when we upload it?
Is it using the HTML5 Canvas API through JavaScript?

I'm pretty sure it's just js. Unless they are doing Agile for their front-end and already went through another cycle. I remember looking at it when I was doing Wordpress stuff a couple of years back.
Edit to answer question: No, I don't think you need the canvas element unless they have significantly changed their code-base in the last year.
I would think it's ImageMagick. Gravatar has been around for quite a while.
