Introduction ​

Imagizer resizes, crops, reformats, and optimizes your images, and can run image recognition and tag extraction. Everything works in real time through a URL-based API.

See the API Reference or our Image Sandbox for live examples.

How it works ​

Imagizer sits between your users and your image storage. When a user requests an image, Imagizer fetches it from storage, optimizes and processes it according to your specifications, and returns the result, all in real time.

Features ​

Bring Your Own Stack ​

Imagizer runs on your own infrastructure (AWS or VMware) and serves images from your existing storage, so you keep full control of your image library.

Image Manipulation ​

Imagizer can scale, crop, compress, format, and adjust your images.

See our API Reference for a full list of supported image manipulations.

Image Optimization ​

Imagizer formats and compresses images to cut file size and bandwidth costs, with little visible change in quality.

See more examples of Image Optimization.

Intelligent Cropping ​

Intelligent cropping detects the subject of an image, such as a face, and crops around it instead of cropping blindly from the center.

See more examples of Intelligent Crop.

Image Recognition ​

Image recognition identifies objects (vehicles, pets, furniture, and more) and returns a confidence score for each result. It can also detect scenes, such as sunsets or beaches.
