Smash that star button!

London meets imgproxy! Our long-time friend, Olga Rusakova , dropped knowledge bombs about open source promotion at @openuk.bsky.social meetup, sharing real-world imgproxy insights and golden tips!

New release: v3.30.0 Release notes:

New WebP compression configs in imgproxy v3.29.0: • IMGPROXY_WEBP_EFFORT — balance compression speed vs compression ratio • IMGPROXY_WEBP_PRESET — choose a compression preset like photo, drawing, icon, etc. buff.ly/sSglR2p

Need to feed your image to a system that only accepts PDFs? imgproxy Pro can cover you back here! Just set the output format to `pdf` and imgproxy will create a PDF file with your image embedded in it.

New in imgproxy Pro: `crop_aspect_ratio` You’ve got saved crop coordinates, but need them in different aspect ratios for different layouts? Now you can tweak the ratio on the fly—no recalculations, no new data. Docs buff.ly/8oCzGLT

Think about this: Gotham has bipolar disorder, where Batman is its depressive phase and Joker is its maniac phase

Better observability in imgproxy 🔭 We already play nicely with major monitoring and error trackers out of the box. The latest release makes signals richer and incidents faster to untangle.

New security measures in imgproxy 🔐 Signed URLs remain best practice. But if you can’t use them (hello, frontend-only flows), we’ve added guardrails so your instance stays tight. Jump into the thread.

He absolutely must name his son Victor

imgproxy started as a tool for internal needs. It grew by doing one thing well. Thanks hackmamba.io for telling the story.

Sorry, snyderlings, but #Superman is too good

If you have Snyder fans among your friends, try to comfort them. They are going to have a pretty tough weekend #Superman

"How to use imgproxy with Next.js" is one of the questions we receive most often. We answer it in our new comprehensive guide:

The time has come

Dandadan managed to switch from absolutely legendary opening credits to some generic not memorable shit 😏

How can you tell that a service uses imgproxy? Their images worked yesterday

Three years of smooth sailing with imgproxy at ‪@medium.com‬! Since our open source software started powering visuals on the leading blogging platform, Medium's engineers report better image delivery performance and more straightforward architecture—among other benefits.

Apple: macOS 26 will get native support for Linux containers OrbStack:

I love how society went from hating Go-style error handling to implementing it in JS and calling it ✨elegant✨

New logo. New website. Same good old #imgproxy. Please welcome our renovated website: new look, better performance, more info. Designed by our favorite @romanshamin.bsky.social‬ 💙 imgproxy.net

I have a dream of writing a bot for Go (board game) written in Go and calling it go-go-bot

OMG, what's happening? 😱

Using SaaS for image processing comes with plenty of risks. Your post-paid bill may badly surprise you after a sudden traffic spike, bug, or DDoS attack. Pricing can work differently: pre-paid, no “per-image” billing, soft limits. buff.ly/QtQpjQb

Starting v3.28.0, imgproxy works with S3 in multi-regional mode by default. We optimized the multi-regional mode of S3 integration so it doesn't have overhead when accessing buckets in the configured default AWS region.

I experienced my first earthquake today (6.2 mag). 0/10, don't recommend to anyone.

We revised error handling in imgproxy v3.28.0 to give error trackers more info and help them group errors correctly. Observability is a key to tranquility!

The new `IMGPROXY_BASE64_URL_INCLUDES_FILENAME` config helps make your imgproxy URLs more SEO-friendly. Check out the docs: buff.ly/0Vj9oIq

Roma is the coolest guy I know when it comes to UI/UX. He designed both @imgproxy.net logos BTW! Good luck, man 🤜🤛

shoutout to @lizclimo.bsky.social for this lovely illustration! 💙

It seems like we should rewrite imgproxy in Go...🤔

Reinventing the wheel is fun… until you’re drowning in tech debt. This article dives into the “not invented here” syndrome — when open source saves you time and sanity vs. when rolling your own actually makes sense. imgproxy is a great example!

If we received $1 every time people solve issues by migrating to dockerized imgproxy from a built-from-source one, we'd never need a paid version in the first place.

Why do we love Docker? Sounds like a weird question in 2025, right? Yet, some devs still avoid Docker at all costs. Here’s why we think they should reconsider:

Is your image processing bill getting too high? Playbook moved from SaaS to self-hosted imgproxy, cutting costs, improving performance & gaining full control over their pipeline. Here’s why teams are making the switch 👉 buff.ly/4hXrySm

Awesome write-up from @glass.photo on how they moved to imgproxy from Imgix, improving cost efficiency, speed, and security. Check out their journey to taking control over image processing:

Well, I don't know what're your reasons not to use Martian Mono, but they're all wrong

If you use Go Playground a lot, check out Better Go Playground: https://goplay.tools/. Testing random Go stuff became much more fun after I found it.

Want to train a custom object detection model for imgproxy (or any other use)? Our new, full step-by-step guide shows you how to train a YOLOv11 model to detect anything—products, cars, animals, or more—and connect it to imgproxy Pro! buff.ly/4hZ1ohY

It kills me that Go doesn't keep the `Host` header in `http.Request.Header` during server request handling and ignores it during client requests. This is so not obvious behavior, and it shoots me in the foot constantly.

Read this; this is very important!

A fun little GitHub history moment: Notice something? The moment imgproxy started gaining traction, libvips’ growth angle shifted too! Coincidence? A hidden pattern? Or just open-source synergy in action?

New patch-release: v3.27.2 Release notes:

I want to congratulate everyone on the start of Severance season 2. Manage yourself a pleasant Show Watching Experience.
