What do you like best about ImageKit?

I really appreciate how easy and straightforward ImageKit is to use. It’s intuitive, and the speed of optimization is impressive. It’s been a huge help in managing images for my projects without any hassle. The results are always high-quality, which is exactly what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

There’s not much to dislike. It’s been a smooth experience overall, though I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more advanced (image edit) features in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

ImageKit has solved two major issues for me: storage and optimization. Before, I struggled with storing a large number of high-resolution images directly on my server, which slowed everything down. ImageKit took that burden off my server by hosting and delivering the images efficiently. Additionally, the automatic resizing and optimization features have significantly improved my website’s performance. Pages load faster, and the user experience has become much better, which I believe positively impacts my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

"What stands out to me about ImageKit is its seamless integration, lightning-fast performance, and ability to simplify complex image optimization tasks, even at scale. With a library of around 2 million images and handling approximately 93.3 million requests per month, ImageKit ensures high-quality visuals are delivered efficiently. The implementation process is also incredibly easy, thanks to their extensive library of sample sets, which makes getting started a breeze. Additionally, their support team is exceptionally responsive and helpful, ensuring quick resolutions to any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

For 'What do you dislike about ImageKit?' we honestly do not have any concerns or topics to mention. The platform has consistently met our expectations and handled our requirements effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ImageKit primarily for image transformation across different output devices. It allows us to dynamically resize, optimize, and deliver images in the best format and resolution based on the device, ensuring a seamless and high-quality user experience across web, mobile, and other platforms. Additionally, we benefit from the caching of transformed images, which significantly improves performance and reduces processing overhead. The pricing model, where we only pay based on bandwidth usage, is also a great advantage, making it a cost-effective solution for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

We are now in our 4th year with ImageKit. At one point in 2021 we had nearly 100,000 product skus, each with a primary image in at minimum 3 sizes. About 25% of the products had more than one image 3x.

The 2 biggest selling points for us were ease of integration and named transforms.

Named transforms:

Internally our images all have suffixes that match a particular size, quality, etc. Our application can easily match that suffixes to a named transformation and have the image available just as we want it.

Ease of integrtion:

Because all transformations are query based, modifying an image is very easy to do. Many other CDNs use pre-extension image name suffixes to control transformations. When coding this requires a little more time to add/update. And at runtime, adds additional login that needs to be preformed, adding microseconds of time on render. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

Their wordpress plugin is extremely simple. Because it just changes out the urls at rendertime, it is difficult to get it to integrate with themes that do more complex changes with images/galleries.

We are in the firearm industry. AI doesnt like firearms, hasnt been trained on firearms, and as such, cannot autotag accurately, cannot center a firearm product accurately. This is not a problem specific to ImageKit's implementstion, but to AI training as a whole where 'taboo' subject matter is ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We already host our image storage on AWS S3. Imagekit uses cloudfront as their CDN backbone so our integration with them was very quick and fast.

We were primarly looking for image optimization. In the modern age, there is no reason to have multiple copies of every image in a variety of sizes sitting on a webserver. In 2021, webp was just really getting popular despite being a viable file format for years. Same with avif. But until the big boys settle on a format, devs and admins have to present the best available format for the user's browser. Storage costs and file management becomes an issue.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

The online dashboard and media library management make working with lots of images across multiple elements of our website a breeze. Marketing and designers have almost no necessary onboarding needed to hit the ground running using ImageKit. Ingreation with our site has been seemless and the extensive amount of options present to manipulate images on the fly or at content delivery.

ImageKit has become the backbone image provider of our image-heavy product. Implementation was easy with almost no learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

URL endpoints are great for tracking, but it would be nice to be able to set which endpoint you wanted a batch of images to go to so when you copy/paste out urls, they're already ready. This is a small quip - obviously this can be setup on the integration side, but would be nice be able to establish before batching.

Only other quip, like others have said, a pricing tier between free and Pro would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're a small team that needed a quick and robust solution right away. Our product was hitting V1 in 6 months, and I as the sole developer and designer didn't have the time to onboard, or teach other employees extensively about using the media management system - but ImageKit's simple (but robust when you dig in) web interface was a no-brainer for even non tech savvy folks to hop on and start loading images for our content streams. I can't begin to imagine setting up s3 buckets and explaining headers and cache control to our content management team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

I was developing textintoimages.com which is a image editing platform, for that i required an media storage facility with transformation capabilities and ImageKit has been the perfect platform for my usage.

The ease of use through their native sdk has made life of developer very smooth by providing out of the box integration. Plus they provides CDN for images as well, which provides fast access to images making the overall user experience amazing.

Apart from this I also use the AI tag generation feature which helps to understand different use cases in my product.

I am very happy with ImageKit's all in one media solution, its easy to implement without any overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

There's nothing that I dislike about Imagekit.

Who provides these features with very generous plans these days ? Even biggest cloud providers aren't providing free plan. ImageKit is awesome. Period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

My website textintoimages.com is a simple image editor, which has daily 2K active users and overall 1Lakh+ images generated ( daily 200-500 ), for this platform I have been using Imagekit as the primary Digital Asset Management solution. Here's my usecases where imagekit excels -

- Very easy to use and user friendly digital asset management platform, focused towards rapid scale.

- Native SDK and APIs for smooth integration, I use their npm package for storing/organising images, and till now I haven't experienced any downtime. So a big thumbs up.

- Image Transformations and meta data generation is awesome feature, just cherry on top, for my solution it perfectly blends in.

- FInally the CDN coverage and speed is great and it helps a lot in my image delivary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

As a developer I needed to find a suitable image hosting platform. Imagekit was it. I love how easy to use the API was and the resizing on the fly has been really, really handy.

Was easy to implement Imagekit onto our app and use it for both image uploads and image downloads. Although it's a low volume app, the free account has been absolutley ideal for our user base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

Not too much to dislike. Did find the docs a little complex at times. But they have since been updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a niche application for boat hire, where before and after a boat journey certain images needed uploading. One of the ports we run from had issues with network coverage. So sending a 800 x 600 sized image over the network has helped speed both uploads and downloads up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

ImageKit has been invaluable for my hiking and photography blog. The automatic image optimization and responsive delivery has dramatically improved my page load times, especially crucial for readers checking trail guides on mobile devices. The ability to transform images on-the-fly with simple URL parameters saves me tons of time when I need different crops and sizes for various sections of my blog. The CDN delivery ensures my high-res landscape photos load quickly regardless of where my readers are located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

The free tier is somewhat limited for a photo-heavy blog, though the paid plans are reasonably priced for the value provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

ImageKit solves slow page loads and storage issues by automatically optimizing my high-resolution hiking photos, delivering them through a global CDN, and generating responsive versions on-the-fly. This means faster load times for my readers, lower bandwidth costs, and less time spent manually resizing images for different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

I liked the lower barrier to entry that ImageKit brought to implementation. I wrote a simple script to grab all <img> tags and re-write them to imagekit URLs. That simple. Now my users have access to tons of extra features for post-processing their images. It is something they can use every single day without reaching out to support from my development team. Easy to implement. Requires little support and training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

I don't have any major issues or significant dislikes. I am getting a ton of value out of the free tier. Then I am able to migrate my clients easily to paid tiers as their usage grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed and optimization of images is no longer something that is burdening my own servers. I have off loaded all of it seamlessly to imagekit. As an added bonus, we even get great CDN features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageKit?

We have integrated imagekit to our s3 storage. The setup is simple and just works. The userinterface is intuitve. As a developer who uses many pieces of software for our applications its awesome to have a piece of software that requires so little setup.

The pricing fits our startup really well. We can start for free and then pay a premium once we start to get a revenue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageKit?

As a startup the pricing is really fair as it is free.

The free tier does have some minor limitation. One of them is something we would like to pay for, But the step up is too expensive. It would be nice if there was some smaller tiers that would unlock some features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use imagekit for all our images. They load fast and we decouple the resizing logic from the backend to the frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
