imgproxy

Fast and secure standalone server for resizing and converting remote images

Visit imgproxy

imgproxy is a self-hosted image-processing server that resizes and processes images on the fly using parameters specified in the image URL, eliminating the need to prepare variants beforehand. It runs on your own infrastructure and works with your own image storage, and is distributed as Docker images and Linux packages for use on hosting services or local machines. The product is open-core: an open-source version on GitHub and a closed-source Pro version.

Features include resizing, cropping, rotating, watermarking, filters, color adjustment, optimization such as metadata stripping and PNG quantization, and smart features like smart cropping and auto-quality. Pro adds object detection, advanced smart cropping, best format selection, video/PDF/Photoshop preview generation, and advanced compression. It supports formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, and JPEG XL, integrates with sources such as HTTP(S), Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage, and offers monitoring integrations including Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and New Relic. Security features include URL signing, authorization, and image bomb protection.

imgproxy is intended for developers and teams managing image pipelines on their own infrastructure. The open-source version is free, while Pro is available with a 14-day free trial and is priced based on the total number of workers across instances, with a tier supporting up to 16 workers and an unlimited option. Pro can also be obtained through AWS Marketplace.
