"Great platform with a lot of functionality and affordable"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

The Flexibility of choosing the hosting of our image (wasabi instead of s3) or to use their own, the Ruby gem for interacting with the api and the integration in the rails ecosystem, the flexible way to generate URLs and transformations, and nascent support for AI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

A dedup facility to find duplicate images easily might be nice. The ability to append the desired image format to a url (e.g. .jpeg, .png) instead of specifying it as a query string parameter would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very nice service"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

I have been extremely satisfied with ImageKit.ioand would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable image processing solution. The platform offers seamless integration with external repositories like S3, which greatly enhances its versatility and ease of use.

One of the standout features of ImageKit.iois the extensive range of image transformations it offers. These transformations are not only plentiful but also intuitive to apply, making it accessible even for those who might not be very tech-savvy.

The performance is impressive; images are processed and delivered quickly, maintaining high quality without compromising on speed. The user interface is clean and user-friendly, allowing for smooth navigation and operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

Nothing so far. Maybe is not the cheaper one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service for static Next JS sites"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

Super easy to use and provided exactly what we needed to allow us to have a static next js site, but still keep the image performance we had before. Easily connected with our AWS S3 buckets and was a breeze to create our own custom image loader using ImageKit's urls in next js.

Never had any downtime, so not needed to deal with any customer service or support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

No complaints with the product or it's performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, best for small products"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

A free account offers 25 GB bandwidth, and files can be easily uploaded. The API allows the upload and management of files. It has a .NET SDK. It has AI features, that will enable me to generate images directly in ImageKit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

MFA is only by email. It would be nice to use Google/Microsoft Authenticator app.

Allow upload archive and extract it for easy upload.

Sorting folders (if the name is a number)

"ImageKit works!!"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

I tried other platforms to upload and manage images via API but none of them worked. Hours wasted in setup.

ImageKit worked in the first go!

Crisp docs, fast customer service and easy to implement - ImageKit is a goto techstack for images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

One restricting aspect was the unavailability to change the URL endpoint after setting up the account. We need to recreate the account and migrate assets to change the default URL endpoint. But it's okay. The customer support is good and the overall service is great. So it's acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplified Image Handling"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

The thing that I like with Image Kit is that it provides us with easy ways to handle our images. We don't need to make our own scripts to compress or resize our images. Image Kit basically makes our lives much more easier with their built in tooling for handling and storing images plus caching too~ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

It's sad to see the Geographic restriction feature to be restricted to a higher plan. It's actually a good security feature which we could use in our ecommerce application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ImageKit - the best solution for images hosting using their great API"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

ImageKit provides great API for integration with any backend services. Integration with ImageKit very easy, even for beginner Developers. I like their free tier, that can be used for free for small startups or personal sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

Small amount of storage in 5Gb, but it is free. Premium subscription is expensive for users who go over limits of free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I fell in love!"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

I'm actually using ImageKit as a replacement for my Amazon S3 and Cloudfront for images.

ImageKit also has a built-in Image Editor tool! Which is very helpful for resizing my images internally without any hassle. (Edit it, resize, then re-upload again)

It can all be done inside ImageKit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

It's not that I dislike it, but I wish a free user could get (increase) more bandwidth and storage space.

Hoping for the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to setup, and use. Stable and flexible in production. :-)"
What do you like best about ImageKit?

Setting up with S3 across multiple environments was simplicity itself. And being able to access features through changes to the URL is super simple which made integration with our system very straight forward and flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

Despite the easy and speed of getting up and running with the service, the initial setup for custom domains was slow and took some chasing.

Some features rely on third party services and are too expensive (background removal), but I understand that cheaper options are on their way and talking to IK support, I was offered a reduced price for my particular project.

Would like more information on the consumption of bandwidth.

Note: there is a quite a jump from premium to enterprise tiers in pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
