"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."
"We deleted 1 million pre-processed thumbnails and PDF page renders from S3 because we switched to imgix."
"Our latest project uses @imgix's to process all images, which simplified the process and saved us a lot of time!"
“imgix nails the level of abstraction for developers. Interacting with the service is a ‘just works’ experience. A good developer experience and competitive CDN prices was a winning combo for our team at QuizUp.”
"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."
"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."
"imgix is just so simple, you quickly understand and can harness its capabilities if you're at all familiar with how CDNs work. There's very little learning curve, excellent documentation and developer resources, and implementation is incredibly easy."
“imgix is a great service. Using an image service provider has freed up a lot of our time to focus on building real estate products.”
"With the infrastructure changes and the integration of imgix, ExpressVPN realized meaningful results that influenced various parts of its operations."
"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."
"It would be impossible to ask our content team to crop, generate, and upload many variants for every image on the website. I needed something that would make the process easy for my teammates and me. That’s the only way I can sleep at night."
"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."
“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.”
"imgix documentation and SDKs are very intuitive, we had things online very quickly, and the imgix Rendering API is much more robust than what other CDNs offer."
"This feature might not have happened if we had to regenerate static and animated versions of every GIF in our back catalog. The engineering savings for that has balanced out the up-front investment."
