Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best CDN service to deliver Images" May 11, 2022 5.0 Pros It has a very clean and fluid UI, this is the best CDN service provider for better delivery of images in the very most optimized format, it allows us to create, copy, move, and many other manipulations such as image resizing according to the needs. It also has low bandwidth consumption and image quality doesn't hinder. Server requests are very fast and pictures are delivered pretty fast. Cons Nothing at all, I think it's the best CDN service for images it comes with its excellent UI dashboard and fast server response. Review Source MB Martin B. CTO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing product delivered by a passionate team" August 15, 2019 5.0 The experience with imagekit has been outstanding. Even though the documentation is very well written with many code examples, we still had some questions and whenever we asked a question via the Intercom widget on their website, we got a competent reply from an actual engineer within minutes. Even better, we found one or two bugs, reported them, within minutes we were given a workaround AND within a day, they had pushed a bugfix. This blew my mind. This company is agile and moves fast. Pros Imagekit is incredibly easy to setup. If you have an S3 bucket on AWS, you are basically good to go. We just had to change 5 lines of code in our backend to return the new image URLs, and we were all set. Cons In the beginning, we weren't able to use our debit card. Now they use Stripe and recurring payments are no longer an issue. No cons for us. Alternatives considered [Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) Reason for choosing ImageKit.io When evaluating the services, I had a question, so I sent a support request to both services and imagekit answered faster. So I chose imagekit. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Everything worked great, easy to implement." March 1, 2018 4.0 painless format conversion and thumb generation. Pros The transition from an existing S3 bucket with lots of assets was easy. We needed an auto rotation feature (based on EXIF data) and it was implemented very quickly from their team. Cons So far so good. The flat rate is interesting but actually a bit expensive for our needs. We run an application used by university and some period (holidays, semester breaks) have a very low activity. Review Source NM Nick M. owner Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great features, fantastic customer service" September 5, 2022 5.0 Went through various alternatives such as Cloudinary, Fastly, etc and while they have a great product, their documentation was difficult to sort through. It took a while to get up and running, whereas, Imagekit was very easy to use. Pros Easy to use documentation, timely blog articles, intuitive user dashboard, and fantastic product. Cons Nothing I can think of yet....they do great in everything! Alternatives considered [Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) Reason for choosing ImageKit.io The way the Cloudinary URL structure was presented for image transformations made it difficult to use with my current application. It was hard to find what I needed when using their documentation. Switched from [Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) The way the Cloudinary URL structure was presented for image transformations made it difficult to use with my current application. It was hard to find what I needed when using their documentation. Review Source BC Bruno C. CTO Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great image performance solution" July 20, 2020 5.0 We'been using ImageKit for faster image delivery through an Image CDN, better image processing (smaller file size), cache for dynamic URLs. Much faster page load, happier clients. Specially in mobile/3G connections, this is much more noticeable. Pros Endpoints connected to non-static image sources. This enables us to do some really cool & fast dynamic image generation. Without Imagekit, our dynamic images would be not very performant, which leads to an overall slower website experience. Cons It's not so easy to understand where are we using all our bandwidth within ImageKit. ImageKit dashboard provides have a monthly view with the highest consumption resources, but as we try to adjust things, it's hard to see if they're working until the next month. Alternatives considered [Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) Reason for choosing ImageKit.io Better pricing, dynamic URL support Switched from [Cloudflare](https://www.capterra.com/p/155191/Cloudflare/) Cloudflare Image performance was not good enough. High kb size, quality not so good. Review Source KE Keith E. Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Too easy!" June 13, 2019 5.0 Faster page loads. Pros Easy to integrate, good documentation and customer support. Some cool features like analytics that identify specific images that can be further optimised and how you can speed up your web pages. Cons None. It does what we need to do and more. Alternatives considered [Amazon S3](https://www.capterra.com/p/174285/Amazon-S3/)[Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) Reason for choosing ImageKit.io Simple and ease of use/integration. We didn't need all the bloated features as the other services and to be honest they looked quite difficult to integrate for what we needed – a simple image CDN. Review Source Stasha K. Web designer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you are looking for fast image delivery, you can stop here" August 18, 2021 5.0 I have been using it for years as a service to deliver photos to the end-user. I must say as a photo hosting, it works great. I recently started using the API option to optimize the photos that are on the website and I like the simplicity, but I still haven't quite measured the speed at which the service optimizes the photos. I am generally satisfied with the functioning. They are constantly improving, following trends, and trying to follow the requirements that, above all, Google imposes. Pros If you have photos on the site that need to be adjusted so that they load faster, all you need to do is install their WP plugin and everything will be optimized. That's it, in one click. On the other hand, there is the option of uploading directly to the Imagekit control panel and then linking on the site with that target external source. Cons I will love for the service to inform me what to choose or do, to get more optimized image delivery. In options, there is fixed value to choose but I will love for it to have more flexibility and to automate the delivery based on what is known. Reason for choosing ImageKit.io I like the options of ImageKit. Review Source Daniel L. CEO & Co-founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Absolutely fantastic, ImageKit provide a service second to none. Greatest Image CDN+ on the web!" May 24, 2018 5.0 Pros The platform has a great and clear API and offers excellent compression compared to other provider. The smart cropping feature completely outdoes the competition. Their support services are amazing, we've had them repair bugs in their platform for us live before. Cons The software doesn't yet have an affiliate program or API to pull stats from the dashboard on uploads per folder/domain which would be very useful. Review Source Timothée E. CEO Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great service" August 20, 2019 5.0 Pros Very easy to use and great disponibility Cons Nothing to say here this is a good software. Alternatives considered [Cloudinary](https://www.capterra.com/p/135074/Cloudinary/) Review Source Maulik R. Technical Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Handy image optiminzation tool " April 6, 2019 4.0 I am not a graphic designer nor a technical person but for my work, sometimes, I have to be ready with my images and graphs for my clients. This tool helped me a lot . I am happy now to have this fine graphic management tool with me. Pros It has all the features one needs to have to optimize the tool. Easy steps for creating the profile. Great look and feel with sorted dashboard where you can find different sections for manage and track your graphics. Just make a library and add the images into it, so that this tool can make a track for the same. You even don't need extra ordinary technical knowledge to run this software. Cons I have found resolution issues sometimes while directly sharing it on the other social media platforms like facebook and twitter. Review Source MAB Mohamad Ali B. CTO Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ImageKit solves more problems than expected" August 14, 2019 5.0 Perfectly happy. Would actually pay as our need for bandwidth goes up. Pros 1) It's extremely easy to set up an account and configure image optimization options 2) URLs are simple 3) It removes the burden of requiring different versions of essentially the same image for a lot of things (sizes for small mobile devices, tablets, desktops of varying size, and even square images preferred by Facebook for products). Cons The only con was the implicit dropping of source cache headers (without warning as I set things up), but that's about it. Reason for choosing ImageKit.io I chose ImageKit because it promised that setup would be as simple as specifying an S3 bucket. It actually was, though I also had to create an IAM role but that's about it :) Review Source RM Raghav M. COO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Image Kit review " September 11, 2020 5.0 Extremely smooth and helpful Pros The transformations. They are literally a saviour. My site was totally unusable before this, as the images uploaded were of high quality (around 2MB). By using a combination of width, height and lazy load transform combinations, my sites load super fast and its a buttery smooth experience. Really simple to integrate into my react app as well with a single line of code. Really responsive team and customer support as well. Cons Nothing yet. Pricing tiers can be better but I understand how difficult it is to provide such a good service. Review Source VW Vince W. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing & Insightful" August 14, 2019 5.0 I am creating dynamic images in response to user inputs in facebook messenger. Pros I considered a lot of tools when I looked for a framework to support my work for dynamic image manipulation. I almost went with the big guys and what I figured out after chatting with support - I could do everything I wanted to here. The support is amazing, the tools are intuitive, and the response is amazing on the tools Cons nothing - it's exactly what I need and what they promised and more. Review Source JS Jason S. Administrator Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very quick on-boarding process and does what it says on the tin basically. Speeds up your website." March 1, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is easy to install. I particularly like the URL prefixes, which means that you can provide image optimisations very easily. Some image optimiser companies require parameters to be placed after image URLs, which means hundreds (maybe thousands) of edits Cons The control panel needs to mature. There are still some bugs, for example in the cache purging facility. Review Source nA navin A. Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very developer friendly. Easy to use. Good performance. " May 24, 2018 5.0 Pros Simple integration with any website. All optimization are available. Website performance improved. Cons Dependence on someone else server for your images. No other cons as of now. Review Source JH John H. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple yet Sophisticated" August 15, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to setup and implement across various platforms such as Wordpress and self-developed tools Cons We liked every bit of the software for our use case. Review Source EI Emanuele I. Developer Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The tool for your app-site backgrounds " May 4, 2022 5.0 A perfect BUTTER-FLY . Pros It so easy and complete , its a joy and it simplifies your developing in terms of calling .svg , .png you name it from your Cms , headless ones, no code tool , flutter , vue , react stack etc Cons Well its not perfect but its so close it's really hard to say Reason for choosing ImageKit.io Team's decision Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Management Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ImageKit is an amazing tool for managing and optimizing images" March 6, 2023 5.0 We highly recommend ImageKit to anyone looking to improve the performance and quality of their website's images. It's a powerful tool that's easy to use and delivers impressive results. Pros Before we started using ImageKit, our PremierAgile website was struggling with Core web Vitals( CWV) like slow load times and poor image quality on my website. But since implementing ImageKit, our website's performance has improved dramatically. The images now load quickly and look crisp and clear, even on high-resolution displays.One add-on is it is so easy to integrate ImageKit with website. The documentation is clear and easy to follow, and the support team is always available to answer any questions we have. Plus, with ImageKit's intuitive dashboard, I can easily manage and optimize images with just a few clicks. Cons Nothing as of now because we are just started Review Source GP Gea P. Writter Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Imagekit is awesome, simple but complete" May 10, 2022 5.0 I've been using the image cdn from imagekit, and this is the first time I've come across an interesting offer. To get started, there is no charge. We can get 20GB of monthly bandwidth, as well as 20Gb of free storage. ImageKit is also compatible with many programming languages, I think it's the most amazing premium service I've ever tried. If you don't believe me, try it, I'm sure you'll be addicted. Thank you imagekit, for helping me in starting a personal blog. Pros I like the api features and libraries that can be applied to many application programs. Cons I don't like the javascript-based UI (front end) and there's no mobile friendly UI. Review Source BNM Badri Narayan M. VP Engineering Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stable image optimization service" June 28, 2023 4.0 Pros Good optimizations and hence saving of bandwidth. Also, it just works. Haven't had issues at all since setup. Cons So far, nothing has been found about ImageKit of dislike.

Features wise I feel they have quality in what they offer, they offer quality features that help you make your sites faster. Pricing wise I feel they offer a very competitive pricing in the market, their next counterpart, cloudinary, is very expensive in comparison to them Cons None so far, keep the good work going guys, I really like the product & always appreciate the way you deal with clients, helping them accomplish their goals at such low costs, I would definitely recommend this product ( especially their support system ) Review Source Ajit Kumar S. Technical Lead Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Developer Friendly and less cost " June 6, 2018 4.0 Great support, faster site loading Pros Customer support is great. Easy to use for any website. less price compares to Cloudinary. website performance improved. Cons No bad bot protection, cache clear not supported for multiple images at a time. Not showing any optimization technique in the dashboard which is shown in https://imagekit.io/website-analyzer Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Photographer Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "On the go image manipulation." April 29, 2019 5.0 Pros When I first registered I was quite lost on how to use this application. It took me some time to get used to. The uploaded image getting resized by URL is just awesome. The PHP and WordPress codes are just simple to integrate. I just share the image with the client and that's it, they got their desire size for social sharing and I have the main image unedited in my account. Cons It took me about an hour after registering on how to use this application, which is really a lot of time wasted. Uploading to a folder and moving to duplicate for default storage would be a good addition. Price is really high for paid plans. Review Source Kirill N. Entrepreneur Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ImageKit.io Review" August 22, 2022 5.0 Pros \- easy to start - quite good performance Cons We have some troubles for operate with batch operations.
