Their "green screen" transformation is incredible. I would love to see some touch-up or filters.

I will recommend, which is looking for website speed optimization. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1) Website Optimisation is key role while using imageKit image CDN service. ### 15. Best tool based on personal comparison. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julian H. | Head of Digital, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** Excellent performance, straightforward backend, very versatile API – these are just some of the advantages that made us choose ImageKit. We are building a stock image website and have to rely on both performance and security. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** The pricing model could be adjusted. $9 for 20 GB of bandwidth (over 40 GB) is quick and can become expensive. The documentation of the API could also be expanded. Things are possible that are not in the documentation and (have to) be found out. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** As already mentioned, we are building a stock image website. ImageKit will deliver all critical images for us and present them to the customer. The biggest advantage of ImageKit over other CDNs is the API. ### 16. ImageKit is Great for Node js Projects **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fine Art | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2022 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** Their generous free plan while prototyping. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Lack of features for optimizing animated gifs (removing frames) **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Try it on the free plan since you can easily ramp up to production later. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating thumbnails from IPFS images, sizing down large images that are hosted externally (not by me), limiting access to the CDN by token. ### 17. Simple, powerful and smart solution for hosting images **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bruce T. | S, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I have looked around for an image hosting platform for ages. I tried using social media APIs and stock image platforms to host images online and keep the assets out of my GIT repo. And finding ImageKit was the service that ticked all the boxes. There is a generous FREE tier and a crazy simple API for getting your media onto the page. I can stress the last part more, ImageKit is super easy to implement. You change the image source, and you are done! **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** In the last 4 months, I have not found anything I dislike. If I do, I'll update this post. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Just try it. That is the greatest testament to it's simplicity **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are two things that ImageKit solves for me: 1) No images in the GIT repo - Images are heavy I do not want them in my repo. My sites mostly use static generators (JAMstacks), and I like the slug to be as small as possible. Removing binary data was a big deal for me. 2) Image processing and reuse - I use a single hi-res image (the original) and then write scripts with Imagemagick to generate thumbnails, hero banners, book spine images, social media cards. Changing to ImageKit simplifies this workflow down by letting me use a querystring or named template. BOOM! Nice. And lastly, my curate media is available anywhere! I no longer need to have the image hosted on the host. ### 18. Super easy setup and flexible image delivery. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tom S. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I was already using Azure blob storage to store all the images uploaded by my editors. But images were massive and different sizes. With image kit they are compressed and all the same aspect ratio. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** So far, I've not found anything missing. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** The images on the website are all the same sizes and nicely compressed for the web. Yet, the original images are still available so I can make design changes to the website in the future and the new images will just pop in. ### 19. Expert in image delivery **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stasha K. | Freelancer - Illustrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I love the simplicity with which you get results. Optimization can be done directly on the site or by linking uploaded photos from the Dashboard. In both cases, you got faster image loading. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** I will love it if an assistant somehow tells me what to do for better results. And choices to be more automated, because I don't know how everything works and don't want to make decisions. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Just follow the steps and don't worry, it will be great. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it to solve image delivery speed, which I think is better, but maybe it needs some improvement for the best choices to be available for recognition. ### 20. A must-have tool in your nuxt.js app **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marek M. | Founder, Creative Technologist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** Ease of implementation, documentation, down-to-earth API via URL parameters. Works great with Firebase Storage, saves a lot of time and effort. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** One thing I struggle with are comma-separated params which in combination with srcset attribute don't work great in nuxt.js **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Imagekit to serve optimised image assets, cropped to my website needs. No need to crop images manually. ### 21. Images as a service. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carlos I. | S, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I can't imagine our team investing time again doing any task related to images for our Web/Mobile Apps. Anything we need is already a feature at ImageKit. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Nothing found so far. Even UI is a beautiful design. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Do not spend time doing tasks offered as a service. Anything related to Images can be done with ImageKit. You can even start with your free layer and pay when you are profitable. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** A lot of time saved. Image saving/retrieving, transformations, optimizations. ### 22. ImageKit really helped us to manage and Optimize our website to a next level. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2022 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** Imagekit has wonderful UI and optimization features are one of the best! **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Pricing. Pricing plan can have more options for small businessess **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Image Optimization and management. ### 23. Simplicity if You Need It **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher O. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I like how descriptive the pricing model is and how gratuitous the free tier is. Speeds and conversions have been reliable. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** The UI is not immediately intuitive, but you can quickly find what you need to not bad. I am in South Africa so African servers would be great too. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Many projects that require heavy use of imaging but still want to keep the site small and fast. ### 24. Super easy to setup, should save me 90% on my old Imgix bill **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Angus R. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** Easy setup, and I got support from the founder via their chat support. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** There were a couple of things that I couldn't find in the docs, so I asked support about it. It turns out they did exist; I was just looking in the wrong place. I suggested they include a mention and link in the places I actually looked for that info. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast image serving, real-time image transformations, cost savings (compared with Imgix). ### 25. Imagekit.io surprised my expectations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeferson C. | Proprietário(a), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I spent a few years looking for a CDN to use on my website, however, none were satisfactory. They did not even reduce the slow response of the server, continuing with high load demand. However, however, when implementing the Imagekit.io api, our website was more relieved and with a better performance. The images appear with quality without loss, and this is excellent. I really like the server's response time and being able to monitor the images that are being accessed by our users. The panel is simple and intuitive, that is a positive point. For the others who still have some doubts about the tool, it is something, out of the ordinary. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Sometimes on the panel, it seems that it is not completely interconnected, and we leave the panel, as if we were not logged in. This can be strange for more lay people. In the rest, I can say that the image settings part should also have a little more documentation, especially in the mobile part. Less experienced users may have questions about how to proceed. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** If you want quality service, and that really delivers what it promises, Imagekit.io is the solution to your problems! **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I recently had a small problem with tls1.3. When I activate tls1.3 on my cloudflare using nginx, the images on any cdn are gone. I believe it may be something related to more complex image display guidelines or something that should be circumvented with some kind of configuration. ### 26. Great Image CDN with Image Optimizations for Performance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rahul B. | Senior Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** I was searching for a proper cdn specially for Image performance for web and stumbled upon ImageKit.io. I was really astonished by the performance with auto image optimization and image conversion to webp format for faster delivery. There are several features like image responsiveness for mobile screens. Also, setup was really easy and ultimately loved the service. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** There is nothing much to dislike at the pricing that they offer this service. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** First try the service and then decide. You will not regret using it. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Realtime image optimization for performance and image delivery CDN. ### 27. Performance Comparison between Sirv and ImageKit **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lao R. | Product Director, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** ImageKit pulls the images upon first request. It's easier to handle than uploading, especially with dynamic content. The image compression of ImageKit is slightly better than with the competitor service by using the same compression factor. The page loading speed improved by 100 ms vs. Sirv, tested from the same location. GTmeterix gives a 100/100 score. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** The ImageKit dashboard is in comparison very basic. I miss the possibility of resetting the given 404 errors for debugging purposes. The delivery of static assets (*.woff2, *.js, and *.css) is by my observation without compression. Rewriting of the ImageKit-path in the css-file(s) has to be done manually. The WordPress plugin rewrites the HTML content before the minified assets are added by the related plugin (WP-optimize). Other companies don't have this problem. I had to add a 'shutdown' action to make things running. There is potential for plugin improvement. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefit is in the delivery of optimized and scaled images for the different viewports. We are interested in maximum speed and Google technical ranking (core web vitals). ### 28. Horrible upload experience, awesome usage experience **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tobbe L. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** It's great how easy it is to apply transforms, especially size and quality. That way I never have to request an image with a larger file size than needed **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Bulk uploading images from your own computer is horrible. I had 3k images I needed to upload and drag and drop only let you do 200 at a time. Same with the file picker. And once the images are uploaded the file browser doesn't have the features needed for knowing what files you have uploaded already. A simple list, sortable by filename, and by date uploaded, is sorely needed. I ended up having to write my own scripts to do the uploads and verify the upload once it was all done. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Try it out! They have a very generous free tier **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm hosting product photos for a webshop. ### 29. Easy to Use. Highly Recommend for Offloading Images on WordPress. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamie R. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** The plugin and integration with WordPress makes it incredibly easy to use. No fiddling about - you can have it up and running within 5 minutes. We used it recently on clients Ecommerce site, and it was a smooth and easy process. You could immediately see the images being offloaded, and the effect in the loading waterfall. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** If I had to choose something, I'd probably say that their UI/UX and branding comes across as a bit amateurish when compared to what they actually do. When I saw the logo, I didn't really take them seriously - but I'm glad I gave them a try as it's a brilliant system. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** I'd highly suggest just trying them out. It takes a such a short time to start testing the system, that even if you decide to not use them - you'd have only lost 10 minutes of your time. Plus the free plan means there's no initial risk. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Image Optimisation, and Image load Speed. Offloading with ImageKit definitely helps reduce server usage, and increase image loading. Especially if you have team members or customers uploading unoptimised images. We used it recently on a clients huge ecommerce site - and it was an immediate improvement. ### 30. Very Handy and useful tool if you are dealing with images **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Swapnil K. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** The free starter pack, which helps understand the tool, use first to get familiar before paying, is what makes it best in the business. The features are excellent, and the docs are very helpful. The support from the company is also worth praising. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** No downside as such till the date. However, if imagekit can also come up with something for videos will also be an added advantage.Also apart from the transformations they have if there would be a way to create a custome transformation may also be handy. **Recommendations to others considering ImageKit:** Use the product yourself, they don't charge you up to the specific limit, and you can then decide. I would urge you to try it. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** CDN is the one, Image Transformation in real-time is second, both of these requirements are very well satisfied by imagekit ### 31.

All my images were optimized, and CDN helped save me space and improve speed. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** I just wish custom URL could be part of free plan **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed and Size ### 34. Very generous image optimization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Barnabas C. | Monk, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** - The free tier of 20GB per month which is very generous and ideal for small websites. - Image optimization and CDN deliverance device specific **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** Nothing at the moment. Everything works smoothly **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy setup and optimization of all of your images on any website. Optimized images are delivered via CDN and served in the miimum dimension needed based on the device request ### 35. Extremely simple responsive images as a service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thales A. | Full Stack Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2021 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** The setup process is very straightforward. Just plugging an existing S3 bucket and updating a few URLs was all it took to get responsive images in one of the pages of my application. To do the whole website, it took about one week of work. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** I have no problems with the tool at the moment. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm mainly concerned with serving optimized and responsive images to increase my website speed. I've noticed that page load times have decreased significantly, especially for mobile users. ### 36. Exactly the image optimization service we needed! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew V. | Full Stack Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2020 **What do you like best about ImageKit?** During our push to serve optimized images from our online store, we did not have the resources and time to convert all our current store product images. There was also the issue of browsers not supporting WebP and the overhead required to check compatibility and deliver either format of an image, was daunting. ImageKit was our saving grace as their service automatically selects the best format to deliver an image based on original format and device-support without our marketing team having to manually reformat images. Integrating ImageKit was made easy by their well structured documentation, which I referenced to configure our web server as an origin in the ImageKit dashboard. **What do you dislike about ImageKit?** The only limitation is the hard cap when on the free plan. This made that we needed to monitor the usage and rewrite the integration before the images were not served. **What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Image optimization and automatic delivery format selection of images for our online product pages. ### 37.
