If you are looking for fast image delivery, you can stop here

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have been using it for years as a service to deliver photos to the end-user. I must say as a photo hosting, it works great. I recently started using the API option to optimize the photos that are on the website and I like the simplicity, but I still haven't quite measured the speed at which the service optimizes the photos. I am generally satisfied with the functioning. They are constantly improving, following trends, and trying to follow the requirements that, above all, Google imposes.

Pros

If you have photos on the site that need to be adjusted so that they load faster, all you need to do is install their WP plugin and everything will be optimized. That's it, in one click. On the other hand, there is the option of uploading directly to the Imagekit control panel and then linking on the site with that target external source.

Cons

I will love for the service to inform me what to choose or do, to get more optimized image delivery. In options, there is fixed value to choose but I will love for it to have more flexibility and to automate the delivery based on what is known.

Everything worked great, easy to implement.

Reviewed 6 years ago

painless format conversion and thumb generation.

Pros

The transition from an existing S3 bucket with lots of assets was easy. We needed an auto rotation feature (based on EXIF data) and it was implemented very quickly from their team.

Cons

So far so good. The flat rate is interesting but actually a bit expensive for our needs. We run an application used by university and some period (holidays, semester breaks) have a very low activity.

Best CDN service to deliver Images

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

It has a very clean and fluid UI, this is the best CDN service provider for better delivery of images in the very most optimized format, it allows us to create, copy, move, and many other manipulations such as image resizing according to the needs. It also has low bandwidth consumption and image quality doesn't hinder. Server requests are very fast and pictures are delivered pretty fast.

Cons

Nothing at all, I think it's the best CDN service for images it comes with its excellent UI dashboard and fast server response.

Fantastic service, speedy support, great pricing

Reviewed 6 years ago

Great pricing, super helpful support, fast infrastructure

Pros

There are 2 things that did it for us: 1) You don't pay for storage. 2) The low pricing. Compare that to the biggest competitor Cloudinary, and you'll be blown away. We saved SO MUCH money by migrating our images from Cloudinary to ImageKit. And even though ImageKit doesn't have as many features, they clearly focussed on the right ones. We are missing exactly nothing! Service is also pretty damn good. When we first signed up, they were quick to help, always responsive and even implemented our feature requests within a matter of days! They really took our feedback to heart. Overall I can say, that I'm very impressed by their service. It's speedy, their support is quick & helpful, it's got all the important features and the pricing is just great. I love it.

Cons

They got all the important features right, but the API is missing a little bit of management skills. We don't need it as much, but it would be really helpful to add stuff like renaming & moving files around or to simply tag them, so you can group them and mass move them to different folders.

Great Product, Awesome Support, Cost Effective

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The support from beginning till the end, from helping us gaining insight about how to set up their product with our systems, to make it live on our production website, they were there at every step. Features wise I feel they have quality in what they offer, they offer quality features that help you make your sites faster. Pricing wise I feel they offer a very competitive pricing in the market, their next counterpart, cloudinary, is very expensive in comparison to them

Cons

None so far, keep the good work going guys, I really like the product & always appreciate the way you deal with clients, helping them accomplish their goals at such low costs, I would definitely recommend this product ( especially their support system )

Great product hat turns serving (incl. CDN) and transforming images into a plug-and-play experience

Reviewed 5 years ago

Straight forward, performant and secure way for serving and transforming media that can easily (great documentation, nice SDKs, great integration with e.g. Amazon S3) be incorporated in our applications and software.

Pros

Value for money ratio is perfect, very straight forward to utilise, well thought of user interfaces and documentations, and the best support I have experienced (immediate answers and fast on-spot solutions via support chat or email)

Cons

Hard question. Hm, sometimes the billing section is buggy in regards to invoice pdfs and data displayed.

On the go image manipulation.

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

When I first registered I was quite lost on how to use this application. It took me some time to get used to. The uploaded image getting resized by URL is just awesome. The PHP and WordPress codes are just simple to integrate. I just share the image with the client and that's it, they got their desire size for social sharing and I have the main image unedited in my account.

Cons

It took me about an hour after registering on how to use this application, which is really a lot of time wasted. Uploading to a folder and moving to duplicate for default storage would be a good addition. Price is really high for paid plans.

Image Kit review

Reviewed 3 years ago

Extremely smooth and helpful

Pros

The transformations. They are literally a saviour. My site was totally unusable before this, as the images uploaded were of high quality (around 2MB). By using a combination of width, height and lazy load transform combinations, my sites load super fast and its a buttery smooth experience. Really simple to integrate into my react app as well with a single line of code. Really responsive team and customer support as well.

Cons

Nothing yet. Pricing tiers can be better but I understand how difficult it is to provide such a good service.

Everything went very smooth, they delivered everything as it was presented (no surprises).

We could focus on our product, delivering value to our customer without having to reinvent the wheel.

Pros

I found the product to be hustle free, delivering great quality. Not once have we had any problems with it. Setting it up was easy, the documentation was helpful and concise. We found also the customer support to be amazing. They have replied to all our requests or questions swiftly.

Cons

Not much to say here, sure they can and will improve but overall it's great. Maybe the control panel could be improved a bit.
