26 imgix Testimonials

"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!"

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"imgix is an incredibly effective image optimization and delivery solution. With a simple query setup, you can deliver images in the appropriate format with high performance. Having an account manager and a sales engineer who can communicate fluently in Japanese is a significant bonus. Thanks to imgix, we are able to deliver optimal images to our users with low operational overhead."

"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."

"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."

"imgix was the most developer-friendly, in my opinion. Their documentation offers clarity as to why things work the way they should and what you can achieve through the imgix platform. It gives examples of different use cases and provides APIs for more complicated functionality if we ever want to add it. I value the developer experience a lot."

“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.”

"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."

"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."
