Flyimg

Resize, compress, and convert images in real time using a simple URL-based API.

Visit Flyimg

Flyimg is an image optimization service that resizes, compresses, and converts images in real time through URL parameters, aiming to improve site speed and simplify media workflows. It grew out of the open-source Flyimg project started in 2016 and is operated as a SaaS platform built in Germany.

Processing is driven by URL parameters covering quality, output format, resizing, cropping, sharpening, face crop and blur, text watermarks, rotation, extraction, colorspace conversion, and PDF and GIF options. It supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and JPEG XL output with smart fallbacks, global caching, and CDN delivery, and integrates as drop-in URLs for any backend or frontend. The platform runs on Hetzner infrastructure with automatic scaling and load balancing.

Flyimg is aimed at developers and businesses that need image processing without managing the underlying infrastructure. It is offered as a SaaS platform with a 30-day free trial that can be cancelled at any time; a Custom Business edition is available for large organizations, with dedicated support and SLA, custom instance limits, custom integrations, volume discounts, and tailored solutions.
