ImageKit is a media processing and delivery service for images and videos. It transforms media in real time, with options including resizing, cropping, overlays, and other URL-based transformations. Video tools include adaptive HLS and DASH streaming, subtitles, chapters, shoppable overlays, and analytics. Developers can connect through an API and SDKs and integrations for React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Android, and iOS. The service also includes digital asset management that applies tags and metadata using AI and plain-English prompts, plus creative automation for producing banner variations from templates, interface edits, or CSV uploads. Teams can use shared templates, secure sharing, contextual collaboration, and asset workflows. ImageKit connects to S3, GCS, Blob, or HTTP origins and can work with existing CDNs and storage. Security features include signed URLs and a web application firewall, and the company lists ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $9/mo.
