Why Imageflow Server

Real-time image optimization you deploy on your infrastructure. Here's how it fits your stack.

Deployment options

Eight ways to integrate — swipe to explore.

01

URL-Based API (RIAPI)

Add ?w=300&format=webp to any image URL. Multiple sites can share one Imageflow deployment via domain mapping to blob storage or other servers.

02

Standalone Microservice

Run Imageflow Server as an independent service on its own subdomain. Best for high volume — works with every framework, language, and cloud. Docker containers included.

03

Any Image Source

Pull images from AWS S3, Azure Blob, databases, SAN, local files, or any HTTP/S3-compatible service. Prebuilt integrations for AWS and Azure; anything else is trivial to connect.

04

Hybrid Caching Architecture

Load-balanced Imageflow instances with local SSD caches, backed by S3 or Azure Blob for shared state. CDN in front. 10th-generation cache engine — intelligent, fault-tolerant, and low-latency.

05

CLI: imageflow.exe

Batch-process images from the terminal or scripts. Supports both the simple RIAPI query syntax (?width=100&format=webp) and the full JSON job API. Any language, any OS, any architecture.

CLI: imageflow.exe
06

Library: libimageflow

Embed the imaging engine directly in your app. C-compatible ABI with bindings for C/C++, Rust, C#, Node, Go, and more. Build your own caching and serving layer.

07

ASP.NET Middleware

One NuGet package, a few lines of C# in Startup.cs, and your ASP.NET app serves optimized images to every device. Deploys with your app — no separate service needed.

ASP.NET with Full Caching

The complete setup: middleware + multiple image sources (File, Blob, Web) + hybrid cache (local SSD + Blob Storage) + optional CDN. Cache auto-deploys and self-trims.
