"imgix sits at the right level of the stack. We can overhaul vast parts of the things behind it without ever having to touch our configuration."
“With imgix, we’ve been able to optimize image displays with simple rules without worrying about changes in the user’s device, allowing us to focus on improving other aspects of the customer experience.”
“Thanks to imgix’s support for massive 8K images, Unsplash’s high-res photos load insanely fast.”
"Our latest project uses @imgix's to process all images, which simplified the process and saved us a lot of time!"
“Many of our news images include headshots, so to evaluate different solutions, we felt the best test was to see how different tools cropped the same picture based on its facial region. imgix clearly did the best work.”
"We deleted 1 million pre-processed thumbnails and PDF page renders from S3 because we switched to imgix."
"I thought imgix was just like a CDN. When I started digging into the documentation and using it, I was surprised by how many features it has."
"The grid is redrawn if the browser is resized or device orientation changes, etc., so we might potentially serve dozens of different sizes of the same master image. Handling that would be nearly impossible without some kind of on-the-fly image resizing service."
"With the infrastructure changes and the integration of imgix, ExpressVPN realized meaningful results that influenced various parts of its operations."
"The fact that we felt comfortable making this feature completely free, which is going to end up costing us quite a bit more, shows our trust in imgix. With imgix, it feels like everything is the way it should be, it’s logical."
"It’s just a good practice to match the user’s device and screen density. But we can’t go crazy, particularly for mobile users. We don’t want to be using too much of their mobile data or taking 10 seconds to load an image. It’s getting that balance right between the best quality and optimizing the user experience in terms of speed and bandwidth."
“At the end, you just upload one picture and you just manage it. You manage the performance and you don’t need any developers to manage it. For example, if we just wanted to increase or decrease the quality level of an image, we can do it by ourselves in two minutes in the back office. So, it’s very simple, not too technical, but very flexible.”
"CDNs are fairly generic, but image optimization is a specialty, and imgix is the specialist. The imgix rendering API was much richer, and the entire solution is much easier to manage."
“We have many areas around the site that needed solutions for multiple screen sizes. We built a responsive image component based entirely on the tools that Imgix provides. Those tools allow us to properly convert, size, and optimize images on the fly. Consumers see accurate, high-quality images on every device that they use, allowing them to make informed purchase decisions.”
"Depending on tools like imgix nowadays helps you not only save time and money, but also it helps you keep your team nimble and productive."
