ImageKit Reviews & Product Details

After conducting thorough research and testing various image-focused CDN and optimization services, I found that Imagekit stands out as one of the best options available. I have tried most of the popular alternatives, such as Bunny, Cloudinary, and Imgix etc. For my current needs, Imagekit's free plan is ideal, offering an easy-to-use interface along with generous storage and bandwidth limits. I deploy Nuxt on Netlify, and Imagekit provides excellent integration with Nuxt through Nuxt Image. I also use the developer API to upload images and have not encountered any issues so far. If my usage grows, I would be happy to upgrade to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any real complaints so far. The custom domain feature appears to be quite useful, and I've tried it with Amazon S3. It would be even better if there were more integrations available, such as with Cloudflare R2. Having access to a custom domain could be a strong reason to upgrade, but at the moment, it's only offered starting from the Pro tier, which feels a bit too expensive for individual developers.

I use ImageKit to host and optimize images for an AI-art blog I run under my registered business domain. All images on the site go through ImageKit, so I work daily inside the Media Library, Analytics, and URL-based Transformations sections. Uploading assets in organized folders, checking bandwidth usage, and applying format conversion and resizing parameters directly from the dashboard has become part of my regular workflow.

The most valuable feature for me is transformation by URL parameters—I generate several visual versions (rounded borders, resized, or WebP-converted) without storing multiple copies. The real-time CDN analytics also help me understand which images drive the highest bandwidth and how caching impacts load performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major complaints so far. The depth of features means there’s a slight learning curve during initial onboarding. For example, setting up transformation presets and cache behavior took me some time to get right. Once configured, though, everything has been predictable and easy to maintain.

I find ImageKit incredibly valuable as our main Digital Asset Management (DAM) tool, effectively storing and organizing all our assets. Its capabilities allow us to quickly find, edit, and update our products in one consolidated place, dramatically increasing the efficiency and speed of our workflow. I greatly appreciate the DAM feature, which is exceptionally useful given our vast number of files and photos. Additionally, I love the background removal feature, as it ensures our images are clean and professional-looking. The range of options ImageKit provides for locating photos further enhances its utility. Overall, these features make ImageKit a standout solution for managing our digital assets.

I find the automatic tags feature to be somewhat lacking because they are only available in English. It would be more beneficial if they were available in my native language. Additionally, it would be great if the AI could generate more tags by recognizing the content of images and automatically apply the same tags to similar assets, as this would further speed up and simplify the process of organizing and retrieving files.

Imagekit is easy to implement and use integrates smoothly with our website and works reliably. It optimize images and improve page speed with good support when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick optimisation option or guided setup within the media section would be helpful especially for non technical user to optimise images faster without extra configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using ImageKit.io for a month now and I’m really impressed with how easy it is to set up and integrate compared to other alternatives I tried. The installation process is straightforward, the optimization is excellent, and the platform makes handling images seamless without adding complexity to my workflow. It really feels like a plug-and-play solution for image optimization and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Earlier, the pricing gap between the free plan and the paid plan felt too steep, making it a bit difficult for small projects to scale affordably. However, with the introduction of the new middle-tier and early payment plans, this has improved a lot. I would definitely consider switching to one of those plans as my project grows.

ImageKit is exceptionally convenient as it provides a URL for images, which I find incredibly useful for placing images on my website GlobalVisaAlly.com without the need to store them on my own server. The service is user-friendly and initially free, offering great value even when an upgrade becomes necessary due to its reasonable cost. The setup process was straightforward, which made integrating it into my workflow a breeze. Overall, the combination of ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and functionality makes ImageKit an outstanding tool for my needs, evident in my willingness to highly recommend it with a perfect score.

ImageKit makes working with media online incredibly smooth. Their real-time image manipulation, smart CDN caching, and URL-based transformations are world-class. The React SDK is rock solid and integrates effortlessly into our frontend – zero surprises, just works. The platform feels mature, stable, and thoughtfully engineered, which saves our team hours of work weekly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the product quality is outstanding, pricing can feel steep—especially for smaller teams or projects with bursty traffic. A more flexible or usage-based tier could make it more accessible. That said, the time and infrastructure savings often still justify the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ImageKit has been a great asset to my website (www.multigyan.in) for image optimization and delivery. The integration was straightforward, and I really liked how quickly the images load via their CDN. Real-time image transformation features are very powerful and easy to use. Their generous free plan is perfect for small to medium projects. The dashboard is user-friendly, and the analytics help me keep track of bandwidth and image performance. Overall, it’s a solid product that just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven't encountered any major issues. If I had to pick something, I would say their documentation could offer a few more detailed examples for custom use cases or advanced integrations. But overall, it’s been a very positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Great functionality for all basic needs related to images (storage, transformations, etc.) and videos;

- Good overall documentation, but there are always ways to improve it as well;

- Compared it mostly to Cloudinary, but ImageKit is noticeably cheaper and definitely more flexible on pricing;

- Great to see that product is improving with AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The design of Media Library seems a bit outdated;

- More documentation with different use cases, added benefit of which can be better results through LLM assistance;

- Plans restrictions related to MP limits can be explained better with examples (i.e. restrictions apply to the original files even if the transformed image is smaller using pre-transform parameters);

- Having different versions of the same file can be beneficial in some cases, but in other cases it's quite cumbersome to delete all previous versions if you want to save space;

- Custom domain is only available on the more expensive pro plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After researching and testing various services, I found ImageKit to be the best option. It stood out from the rest due to its perfect balance of quality and simplicity in storage. ImageKit offers an intuitive interface combined with high performance, making it the ideal solution for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I didn't like about ImageKit is that when updating an image already on the server, the direct link does not automatically update on the website. To make this happen, I need to add all the link properties, including the update line after the exclamation mark. This has been a drawback in the service because every time I update an image, I also have to update the corresponding link within the HTML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
