anyone here use imgix ?

[freecartoonporn]

what do you think about it ? https://www.imgix.com

the most favorite feature of mine is making 100kb pic from 5 mb original pic , without loosing much quality and its also on the fly.

is there any free substitute ? like script which will create such images so i dont have to use their service + cdn, so i can use my choice of CDN.

i can think of this substitute , create smaller version of big photos and host them and use CDN to serve them., so dont have to use imgix.com service., as its expensive and they charge per original image.



thanks for your time.,

have a great day ahead.,

tried default compression, but its nowhere near to the imgix size.

i am able to convert 6 mb image to 1 mb.,

i need to compress more , around 100kb i need final file

looks like i need to do more research.

Thanks

Can you give an example image? I usually use the convert tool that comes with imagemagick (on linux) and fiddle with the quality/compression %'s

Some alternatives (Free/Cheap):
https://cloudinary.com/
https://www.blitline.com/v3/home
https://libpixel.com/
https://transloadit.com/
https://www.gumlet.com/
https://imagekit.io/

You could also write a script to download the converted image from imgix and push it your cdn.

here is example.,

original image : https://images.pexels.com/photos/874...to-874158.jpeg

optimized image : https://images.pexels.com/photos/874...&h=650& w=940

here is their sandbox https://sandbox.imgix.com/create

It resizes it from 5760x3840 to 1880x1253, if you lower the quality you can get similar results with any script/program.

with: convert "original.jpg" -quality 70 -resize 1880x optimized.jpg

with: convert "original.jpg" -quality 90 -resize 1880x optimized.jpg

Use ImageMagick then.
