URL-based image delivery
Resize, crop, and overlay images with URL parameters. ImageKit can deliver AVIF or WebP for the viewer’s device, and the image API includes AI operations such as object-aware crops and background removal.
ImageKit
Freemium
Transform and deliver image and video assets, organize a shared media library, and create on-brand campaign variants for web, app, and marketing teams.
What is ImageKit?
ImageKit lets developers optimize, transform, and deliver images and videos through URLs or APIs. Teams can organize visual assets in its DAM and use reusable banner templates to generate campaign variations in the UI or from a CSV. Media can be delivered from the built-in DAM or existing S3, GCS, or Azure Blob storage.
What can ImageKit do?
Video streaming and playback
Create adaptive HLS or DASH streams from video URLs. The ImageKit player adds automatic subtitles, chapters, shoppable overlays, and viewer analytics.
Digital asset management
Use the DAM to organize visual assets and generate tags or custom metadata from plain-English prompts. Optimized variants can be delivered directly from DAM assets.
Template-based creative automation
Set master banner templates with brand fonts, colors, and locked layouts; edit variables in the UI or populate them from CSV. Generated variants are saved to the media library.
Use Cases
“Responsive site imagery”
For web pages and apps with different layouts, resize and crop images through URL transforms and serve AVIF or WebP according to the viewer’s device.
“Video playback on a website or app”
For sites and apps with video playback, add adaptive HLS or DASH streaming to video URLs and use a player with automatic subtitles and chapters.
“Preparing campaign images”
Use smart crops, background removal, or generative fill to adapt source images to different campaign placements before delivering them.
“Generating branded banner batches”
Create a template with fixed branding, then vary text, products, prices, or images manually or with CSV input. Save the resulting campaign banners to the DAM.
