Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

ImageKit adds image and video optimization to a website’s media workflow. You can connect existing assets or use its managed media library.

It is useful when smaller responsive files and easy integration matter as much as the CDN traffic rate.

Network

ImageKit combines processing with CDN delivery. An existing origin still supplies originals, while transformed outputs are cached for visitors. Estimate bandwidth using the optimized files rather than the original upload sizes.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.

  • Images: resizing, cropping, compression and responsive delivery.
  • Video: optimization with separately counted processing units.
  • Management: a media library, URL/API workflows and plan-dependent custom domains.

Pricing

The published monthly plans include:

  • Free: 20 GB bandwidth and 3 GB storage. Delivery stops at the bandwidth limit.
  • Lite: $9/month with 40 GB bandwidth, then $0.50/GB.
  • Pro: $89/month with 225 GB bandwidth, then $0.45/GB.

Storage, video processing, extension units, users, purge allowances and extra custom domains have separate limits or fees. Include the base subscription and the features you need rather than multiplying all traffic by the overage rate.

Developer tools

Use ImageKit’s URL transformations, SDKs and frontend integrations to connect media delivery. Start with a small set of real assets and check responsive sizes, caches and your custom domain. Enterprise origin-shield and access-control features require the corresponding plan.

When it fits

  • Websites improving images without replacing their whole application stack.
  • Teams combining a media library with image/video delivery.

Before you choose

  • The free bandwidth limit can stop delivery.
  • Video processing and domain charges need their own budget.
