About:
Imgproxy is a high-performance Go-based server designed for on-the-fly image manipulation. It securely processes images by downloading them from remote origins, resizing or converting them according to URL parameters, and serving the optimized result. This approach significantly reduces storage costs and improves web performance by delivering perfectly sized images for different devices.
Key Features:
  • Real-time resizing and format conversion
  • Support for WebP, AVIF, and JPEG
  • Secure URL signing to prevent unauthorized access
  • Optimized for high concurrency and low memory usage
Use Cases:
  • Optimizing images for responsive websites and mobile apps
  • Generating thumbnails and different image variants on demand
  • Offloading image processing from application backends
Alternatives:
  • Thumbor – Thumbor is a popular open-source alternative written in Python, which requires more infrastructure overhead compared to the single-binary deployment of Imgproxy.
  • Cloudinary – Cloudinary is a managed SaaS solution that offers a broader feature set including storage and CDN, whereas Imgproxy is a self-hosted tool focused purely on image processing.
