imgix

Imgix is a hosted service that provides the simplest way to deliver the highest quality images to users as fast as possible.

imgix is the leading provider of on-demand image processing for websites and mobile apps. imgix’s API gives developers the power to perform image transformations at scale -- from simple crops and compression down to complex things like changing color profiles and adding watermarks -- in real time before an image is served. This means images load faster and look better on every screen while saving bandwidth and storage space. imgix is venture backed, with about $10 million in investment, and was launched through the famed Y Combinator accelerator program. Its customers include: Dropbox, Reddit, Lyft, Kickstarter, Coursera, Bonobos, The Guardian, Brit + Co., Bustle, and many others.
