ImageKit.io

ImageKit.io is a media delivery and management platform designed for high-growth teams. It combines real-time media processing APIs, a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, and AI-powered capabilities to help tech, marketing, and creative teams deliver, manage, and collaborate on media assets at scale.

Overview

ImageKit provides a URL-based Image and Video API that enables 50+ real-time optimizations, transformations, and streaming capabilities. It also offers a centralized DAM to organize, search, and share media assets with internal and external stakeholders. The platform emphasizes fast, high-quality media experiences, easy integration, and scalable collaboration.

Core Capabilities

• Real-time image and video processing via a URL-based API with 50+ transformations and optimizations (format support includes AVIF, HEIC, WebP, WebM, and more) to balance visual quality and performance.
• Dynamic media personalization by overlaying text, images, and videos directly in the URL for personalized banners and product visuals.
• AI-powered image generation and editing at scale: generate images from text prompts, create variations, and combine with transformations in real time.
• AI-driven background removal, shadows, upscaling, and generative fills to enhance assets without reshoots.
• DAM (Digital Asset Management): centralized storage, structured metadata, AI-powered tagging, and advanced search to organize assets across teams.
• Collaboration tools with granular access controls, versioning, asset history, and multi-user feedback workflows.
• Integrations and SDKs to plug ImageKit into existing cloud and development workflows for quick deployment.
• Unified delivery and optimization: deliver media through a CDN-integrated pipeline with seamless asset management and performance monitoring.

How It Works

• Use the Image API or Video API via URL parameters to apply on-the-fly transformations and optimizations.
• Store and manage assets in the DAM, then share or collaborate with teams using access controls and versioning.
• Leverage AI features to generate, enhance, and customize visuals directly within the media URL workflow.
