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

imgix processes and delivers media from connected sources. URL parameters and libraries let developers create appropriately sized images without maintaining every variant themselves.

Compare the working media set, delivery traffic and transformation features together when choosing a bundle.

Network

imgix connects to existing source storage and caches processed media for delivery. Your active cache and metadata can contribute to the bill in addition to transferred bytes. Keep the source-storage account and its charges in the overall design.

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

  • Rendering: image edits, resizing and optimization through URL parameters.
  • Video: separate video API capabilities.
  • Management: APIs for sources, media management and purging.

Pricing

Current pricing uses credit bundles. Starter includes 100 credits/month at a monthly rate of $0.25 per credit; annual billing has a lower rate.

  • Media cache and metadata: 2 credits per GB per month.
  • Delivery: 1 credit per GB.
  • Transformations: consumption varies by feature.

The advertised maximum storage or bandwidth for a bundle is not a promise that both maxima can be used together without consuming more credits.

Developer tools

Use the Rendering API for media URLs and the Management API for sources and operational tasks. Official libraries include JavaScript, React and backend-language clients. Test the transformations you actually need, including any video or AI operations, before choosing the credit bundle.

When it fits

  • Applications with existing media storage and many responsive variants.
  • Developers wanting transformation URLs and framework libraries.

Before you choose

  • Working-cache storage consumes credits alongside delivery.
  • Costly transformation features can change the bundle requirement.
