New in imgproxy v4: parallel image downloading

New in imgproxy v4: internal cache and changes to conditional request behavior buff.ly/VvVq70g

imgproxy Pro v4 Early Access is rolling out. Invites are going out — more coming soon. If you signed up, keep an eye on your inbox. Already a Pro user? You’re in — go try it!

imgproxy v4 OSS pre-release builds are live! Pro Early Access starts Monday — we’ll begin sending invites shortly. Want in? Now’s a good time to sign up. buff.ly/zpK0PA5

New patch release: v3.31.2 This is a maintenance release with updated dependencies

imgproxy now handles graceful shutdowns better. Instead of a fixed timeout, it adapts based on your `IMGPROXY_TIMEOUT` — giving heavy requests enough time to finish before stopping. More control, fewer dropped requests.

imgproxy has finally surpassed its last competitor in GitHub stars! Now it's official – imgproxy is the most popular image processing server. Sending kudos to every stargazer 💙

Loved this episode with @jayroh.dev on maintainability & predictability. And yes — it’s imgproxy, not ImageProxy 😉 Great example of how to migrate safely with adapters + feature flags instead of risky rewrites: buff.ly/oisS8Ng

New imgproxy release! imgproxy v3.31.0 is out, followed by a patch release v3.31.1. Release notes: v3.31.0: buff.ly/qbPO4YC v3.31.1: buff.ly/eEQrO4K

imgproxy v4 is almost here. We’re looking for teams ready to test v4 before the public release and share feedback. So we’re opening early access for the Pro version. buff.ly/KThe99s

Curious what imgproxy actually is and when it makes sense to use it? We wrote a short overview for SourceForge that explains the core ideas.

Huge thank you to the miro.com team for trusting imgproxy with their production image pipeline.

We almost forgot to celebrate this one — but hey, 10K GitHub stars! Thanks to everyone who helped us get here. Now… let’s make it 20K, shall we?

Excellent breakdown of modern image optimization strategies — especially for teams dealing with high volumes of user-generated media. The author walks through all the classic dead-ends… and ends up with a client-intelligent, cache-first architecture where imgproxy plays a key role.

New patch release: v3.30.1 Recommended for an update to imgproxy Pro v3.30.0 users. Release notes:

We’re this 🤏 close to 10K GitHub stars! If imgproxy ever saved you from writing your own image pipeline, now’s the time to smash that ⭐ Help us cross the line: buff.ly/lDxSKoB

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

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.

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

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

New release: v3.29.0 Release notes:

(Almost) free image processing? Yes, really. Deploy imgproxy to AWS Lambda and process up to 1M images/month for $0 — no infra hassle, no surprises. Step-by-step guide here -

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.

imgproxy is the fastest racer on the on-the-fly image processing track. We benchmarked imgproxy, thumbor, and imagor — on both Intel and AWS Graviton3. If you missed it last time, here’s your sign to read it now:

Did you know? You can get imgproxy Pro on the AWS Marketplace — simple billing, fast deployment.

We run a tech product with a small team, and it’s not always smooth — but it works. Here are 9 things that help us stay sane, focused, and (mostly) get things done: buff.ly/gPnWzNS Hope it’s useful for others in the same boat.

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

OMG, what's happening? 😱

Is your image processing pipeline actually… healthy? Here are 7 signs it is — from simplicity and scalability to format support and cost-efficiency. Do a quick self-check

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.

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

The new CIE-correct saturation adjustment algorithm allows to adjust saturation without messing up brightness. 📸 Feel the difference (corgi named Pillow by Y Tsui)

New release: v3.28.0 Release notes:

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

A must-read for anyone building in open source! @en.sitnik.ru breaks down what really drives adoption, how to grow a project, and why success isn’t just about having a good idea.

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!
