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.

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

New patch-release: v3.27.2 Release notes:

New release: v3.27.1 Release notes:

New in imgproxy Pro 3.27.0: The IMGPROXY_OBJECT_DETECTION_GRAVITY_MODE config lets you control how imgproxy picks which objects to focus on during object-oriented cropping. More control, smarter crops, better results. Try it out and take your image processing to the next level!

We’ve improved one of imgproxy’s most loved features: object-oriented cropping! :dart: It allows you to crop images based on objects in the frame (like faces) rather than fixed coordinates. Let’s see what’s new in v3.27.0 👇

We recently introduced PSD (Photoshop Document) and PSB (Photoshop Big) support in imgproxy Pro in our newsletter. Now it’s time to share more details and clarify what this means for your image workflows 👇

Remember when we teased JPEG XL support? It’s finally out in imgproxy v3.27.0. If you’ve been waiting on a stable release to update, well… here it is! Feel free to wait until after holidays if you want to unwind first, but whenever you’re ready, jump right in.
