Detailed Comparison
imgix is the leading platform for end-to-end visual media processing. With robust APIs, SDKs, and integrations, imgix empowers developers to optimize, transform, manage, and deliver images and videos at scale through simple URL parameters. | Blitline drastically reduces the amount of work you need to develop an application that does any image processing. Stop rebuilding the same image processing functionality, let us do it for much less than it would cost you to make and support it. Pay for only the image processing time that your jobs use. We believe your images should be YOUR images. We also believe that you should never be "locked in" to using Blitline. The flexibility of the JSON API means you could stub out Blitline later without ever touching your production/deployed code. |
Image API - Resize, crop, and composite multiple images by changing their URLs. Change output formats, device-pixel ratios, and chroma subsampling rates.; Responsive Images - Integrate imgix into the latest imaging standards without reprocessing your entire image library.; Video API - process, optimize, and deliver your streaming videos.; Asset Manager - Search, visualize, browse, and organize any assets in your cloud storage bucket.; Image Editing - Make simple edits (focalpoint crop, width/height adjustments, format changes) directly in Asset Manager and easily download or copy a link to a modified image.; Deliver - Leverage the imgix global CDN with more than 20 POPs worldwide.; | Industrial Strength- If you are a website that needs to manipulate large numbers of photos, Blitline is your economical solution.;Convenient- If you are importing photos from an external service and need to crop, thumbnail, or process them, we are your answer.;Versatile- Screenshots, PDFs, animated GIFs, obscure image formats, we are your one stop shop for all of these.;Cheap- No lock-in with us. We push your photos to your storage. We don't want to host your photos and charge you a monthly fee.;Cross Platform- We use a JSON only API that lets you build complex image processing actions accessible from any language or platform;Safe- Worried about making a dependency on a company that might "go away". Founded in 2011, we have been cash positive for quite some time.;Smart- We have been building large scale, enterprise apps for decades. We are your smart choice.;Low Risk- Pay ONLY for what you use. Even when your service explodes and you are processing huge amounts of images, you get deep discounts for using Blitline. |

What are some alternatives to imgix, Blitline?
Cloudinary
Cloudinary is a cloud-based service that streamlines websites and mobile applications' entire image and video management needs - uploads, storage, administration, manipulations, and delivery.
OpenCV
OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications. Written in optimized C/C++, the library can take advantage of multi-core processing. Enabled with OpenCL, it can take advantage of the hardware acceleration of the underlying heterogeneous compute platform.
ImageKit
ImageKit offers a real-time URL-based API for image & video optimization, streaming, and 50+ transformations to deliver perfect visual experiences on websites and apps. It also comes integrated with a Digital Asset Management solution.
Cloudimage
Effortless image resizing, optimization and CDN delivery. Make your site fully responsive and really fast.
scikit-image
scikit-image is a collection of algorithms for image processing.
Kraken.io
It supports JPEG, PNG and GIF files. You can optimize your images in two ways - by providing an URL of the image you want to optimize or by uploading an image file directly to its API.
ImageEngine
ImageEngine is an intelligent Image CDN that dynamically optimizes image content tailored to the end users device. Using device intelligence at the CDN edge, developers can greatly simplify their image management process while accelerating their site.
FFMPEG
The universal multimedia toolkit.
GStreamer
It is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The applications it supports range from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback, audio/video streaming to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
GraphicsMagick
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing. Comprised of 267K physical lines (according to David A. Wheeler's SLOCCount) of source code in the base package (or 1,225K including 3rd party libraries) it provides a robust and efficient collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 88 major formats including important formats like DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF.
