Security out of the box

imgproxy protects from the most common attack vectors to the image processing

Image bombs

imgproxy checks an image’s real dimensions and cancels processing if it’s too big or not a real image.

URL signing

Attackers cannot launch a denial-of-service attack by requesting multiple image resizes.

Authorization

Authorization by an HTTP header to hide your image's origin.

Your rules

Image processing, scaling, and infrastructure costs under your control.

Instantly fast

imgproxy uses the world’s fastest image processing library under the hood — libvips. It is screaming fast and has a tiny memory footprint.
See the benchmark results with some other OSS image proxying tools.

Go ahead with the Pro version

imgproxy Pro is packed with advanced features. Pricing depends on the total number of workers across all your instances. Think of it as the number of images your servers can process simultaneously without creating a queue.

The default number of workers per instance is twice the number of CPUs on the machine that runs it. You can tweak the number of workers per instance with the IMGPROXY_WORKERS config.

Example: 3 instances with 4 workers each and 2 instances with 2 workers each result in ( 4 × 3 ) + ( 2 × 2 ) = 16 workers.

Maximum number of workers

Switching from an image processing SaaS to imgproxy has allowed us to cut our costs ~90% while getting to a solution that is both more performant AND more reliable

Dominik Dabrowski

Wicked fast and incredibly easy to adjust

Using imgproxy has been nothing but positive for us. It’s wicked fast, incredibly easy to adjust for our needs, and has reduced our compute costs. The documentation is crystal clear, deployment simple, and it improves our visitors’ experience, affecting our bottom line favorably.

Optimize millions of images every hour

Optimizing on the fly helps us avoid storing billions of extra thumbnails and other versions of the same image, and helps our customers get fast and efficient viewing and sharing.

Scott Curry
CTO, Photobucket

Blazingly fast

imgproxy solves the tedious task of optimizing every product image from eBay’s billions of listings. It does it on completely the fly and blazingly fast. imgproxy protects from a number of vulnerabilities, helping us to adhere to eBay’s strict security standards.

It's a great plug

imgproxy if the perfect out of the box solution for what we needed. It is core part of our system now. We are quite happy and satisfied by it. It is a great plug and play scalable solution.

Manu Sharma
CEO, Labelbox

Easy to deploy

We opted for imgproxy because of easiness to deploy and set with Heroku and environment variables; we did not want to spend much time implementing a new proxy. Thanks for building an amazing, robust, reliable, and fast image proxy!

Valentin Polo
Software Engineer, Algolia

A core component of Forem

imgproxy has been a breath of fresh air. It has become a critical component of the Forem infrastructure. It elegantly addresses the pitfalls of inflexible and inefficient stored image variations while giving us the peace-of-mind that it is open source.

Founder, dev.to

imgpoxy for 2M images per day!

imgproxy has many features and configurations, all of which are easy to understand and adjust. We could leverage WebP in all our hosted websites in just one day. We also rate highly the tool’s stability, small size, compatibility with all image formats and speed that helps us process most images in less than 100ms.

Over 1.1B images transformed

We were searching for an HTTP based library that would use libvips, allowing image processing from any remote URLs, with low memory usage. After checking some popular libraries over GitHub as well as different services, imgproxy was the only one meeting most of the requirements. imgproxy processing engine transformed more than 1.1B images in 1 year since we started Optimole, from more than 65k websites.

Marius Cristea
CTO, Optimole

Yep, I’m a fan

In fact, my next use of it will be for Speaker Deck, a little website that serves a lot of images. Seeing what a difference it made for Box Out has me quite excited to use it there.

John Nunemaker
Founder, Box Out Sports

Very happy with it

imgproxy Pro has significantly reduced our costs, and increased performance, vs the commercial product we were using before. We are also very happy now managing the configuration within our own source control system.

Marc Roberts
CTO, Hiyacar

Excellent support

I recently switched to imgproxy and am really happy with it. Great product and excellent support directly from the developer!

Marc Köhlbrugge
founder, WIP and Startup Jobs

Checks all of the boxes

After going through a number of alternatives, we finally found imgproxy and have never looked back. We love it for its simplicity, image quality, ease-of-use and—very importantly—its stability.

imgproxy Pro is super quick and an essential part of my website

I can't believe how fast imgproxy Pro is! I used the free version for a couple of years and then expanded to the Pro version to take advantage of some additional functionality. I haven't had a single issue with the software - it always delivers my images as expected.

Lance Selgo
Founder, ViewShoot

Run and never look back!

Out of the few open source projects that fit our bill, improxy was the most promising one. It comes with sane defaults for everything, and we like that. The documentation is good too; it was very easy to set up. Later, we added a few Pro features we wanted, at this price-point it was a no-brainer. We ran with it and never looked back: last year, we processed more than 20TB with imgproxy.

Victor Felder
Co-Founder, objkt

Truly happy with imgproxy!

imgproxy has transformed our image processing, reducing server load and code dependencies while enhancing performance. Its cloud-native nature and seamless integration with Datadog make troubleshooting a breeze. Above all, the fast and responsive support team makes imgproxy a pleasure to use.

Tuomas Valtonen
Full Stack Developer, Huutokaupat.com

imgproxy has set the bar high!

The product is well-documented, easy to use, and fully configurable, with smart preconfiguration options that simplify the process. The readily available Docker image ensures easy deployment, and the set of features, including PDF and video thumbnail capabilities, is impressive. Performance-wise, imgproxy exceeds expectations. But what truly sets imgproxy apart is the on-boarding process—the support team is not only super reactive and qualified, but also open to feature requests. We couldn’t ask for more—imgproxy has set the bar high!

Thibaud Spieser
CTO, Swello

It's a game-changer!

imgproxy has been a game-changer for us in image processing. Delivering images on-the-fly in next-gen formats like AVIF and WebP has significantly improved our websites' loading speeds, resulting in better user experience and substantial cost savings. The ease of integration and the immediate impact on our platform's performance were remarkable.
