How it works

Built by developers for developers, imgproxy resizes and processes images on the fly and doesn’t consume disk space. It reduces your costs and removes the pricey requirement for all saved images to conform to specific formats

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

imgproxy have been a great partner for us

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

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.

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.

Ben Halpern
Founder, dev.to

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.

CTO, Hiyacar

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.

imgproxy saves time and money

We use imgproxy as a primary processing tool for image files uploaded by our users. imgproxy saves time and money. It helped us to reduce code complexity, so now we don’t need to spend as much engineers’ time and effort supporting media files processing. We love the ability imgproxy gives us to simplify image processing code in the application code base.

Alex Mysayev
web developer, Amplifr

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.

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.

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.
