Hi PH 👋
Libpixel - built by developers for developers
I’m one of the owners of Libpixel. In case you’re not familiar with our product, we’re a realtime image manipulation service for any images that are available on the internet.
LibPixel works by fetching images from an existing Image Source, processing them on the fly and responding with the modified image.
You simply supply the image size or processing you want in the query string in the URL you use for the image (perhaps in an IMG tag), and LibPixel does the rest.
LibPixel is designed to be fast. It is likely that the transit/download time will be far more significant than the time taken by LibPixel to process the image, so in practice processed images are delivered as fast or faster (due to caching and CDN) than the original image.
You never have to upload your images to LibPixel, so you retain full control over storage. And you only need to store the original images, not any modified versions.
You maybe thinking why we differ to products like imgix and Cloudinary For Video? Instead of bloating the product offering we kept it lightweight but powerful, designed to do just one thing. We offer the best pricing for early stage startups, right up to large organizations trying to optimize their monthly fixed costs.
Not convinced? Give it a try. We offer a 2 week trial (no credit card required) and you'll be able to use up to 10GB of storage.
Any questions about the product, leave us a comment!
hold up!! So let me get this straight...On page load you load the image from my server, process the image on your server and then send the image to the browser...faster than just loading it from my own server? What kind of witchcraft is this?
@kensavage Hi Ken, thanks for dropping in. So the magic with Libpixel is that we do all the optimizations per device for you. Building a scalable infrastructure in-house to handle these and other such compression tasks can be a lengthy and cumbersome process. We have seen some companies do all this in-house but its something you'd need to allocate resources to constantly. WIth Libpixel we can cut the time of development and the cost of upkeep.
@kensavage Hi, Ken. Downloading processed images through LibPixel can be faster than downloading full-sized, unoptimized images from your server. Obviously, it's dependent on size of the image, server location, and connection between you and the server. For mobile users and users with slower network connection, this is quite likely.
