GStreamer vs imgix
Overview
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. | 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. |
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.; | Multiplatform;
Comprehensive Core Library;
Intelligent Plugin Architecture;

What are some alternatives to imgix, GStreamer?
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.
Zencoder
Zencoder downloads the video and converts it to as many formats as you need. Every output is encoded concurrently, with virtually no waiting—whether you do one or one hundred. Zencoder then uploads the resulting videos to a server, CDN, an S3 bucket, or wherever you dictate in your API call.
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.
Kurento
It is a WebRTC media server and a set of client APIs making simple the development of advanced video applications for WWW and smartphone platforms. Media Server features include group communications, transcoding and more.
