About imgix
imgix is a visual media platform that resizes, compresses and transforms images and videos. Transformations are applied through URL parameters, so you do not need to store many copies of each file.
What it does
imgix processes media when a file is requested. It can compress images, choose a modern format for each browser, crop around a focal point, remove backgrounds and generate new areas in an image. Videos can be cropped and captioned too, and a delivery network serves the result to visitors.
Key features
- Automatic compression and format selection
- Smart and focal point cropping
- Background removal and generative fill
- Video processing and adaptive streaming
- Delivery over a global network
Who it's for
Product teams, online shops and media companies that manage large image libraries. Developers who want to change images without a code release will also find the URL approach useful.
Pricing and good to know
The homepage offers a free start, and the pricing page has the current plans. Image formats are chosen automatically for each browser, and the original file is kept as a fallback, so older clients still receive a supported image. Because transformations are URL based, teams should plan their parameter naming early.
Highlights
- Compress images and pick formats per browser
