2024-07-19

AI and User-generated Alt Text General Availability

The imgix Asset Manager now supports alt text configuration for everyone. All customers can now update and retrieve alt text captions from within the Dashboard Asset Manager and Managed APIs. For premium customers, we can automatically generate alt text for your images using AI-based image captioning. Reach out to our sales team for more information on how to add this to your plan.

New face detection parameters

We released two new parameters for the face detection category for obscuring detected faces. Face-blur will blur detected faces in an image, and face-pixel will pixelate detected faces in an image.

Video Watermarking and captioning

Video API enabled Sources now support two new configuration options:

  • Auto Captions: Enable auto-generated captions and control the captions language of your video files
  • Video Watermarking: Add a watermark to all your videos and control the positioning/appearance of your watermark

Image Editor Improvements

  • Added mouse-based crop tool
  • Added Background Replace parameters
  • Simpler aspect ratio selection

Expanded CMS Plugin Support

Faster Asset Processing for Rendered Images

Assets delivered through the imgix Render API are now processed and available in Asset Manager within 60 seconds.

New Demo Source For Trialing Premium Features

A demo source is now available on all imgix accounts. This Source allows every user to experiment with the premium features of the Asset Manager, which includes AI rendering features.

Other Features and Fixes

  • q and auto=compress now work with GIF inputs and outputs
  • Signature validation, including expires parameter checks, happen further up the stack to improve re-render requests
  • Added new CDN Shields in Chicago, Amsterdam, and Tokyo for improved global performance
  • SVG sanitization is on by default for all customers
  • Fixed an issue when downloading large advanced report files from Dashboard

2024-05-14

Background Replacement

Removing a background from an image has been available for premium customers for months. Now, we are adding the ability to remove the background and optionally replace it with a new background generated from a prompt. Using a positive prompt and an optional negative prompt, a new background for your image will be generated. See our documentation for more info. If you’d like this feature enabled, please reach out to your account manager or contact us.

AI-based Video Captions

For all video customers, you can now include automatically generated captions in a preconfigured language of your choice. When using the imgix video player and most other modern video players, the captions will be available for your customers to view alongside playback. See our documentation for more info.

AI-based Alt Text Generation in Beta

When enabled on a premium plan, we will process your image assets to include an automatically generated caption of the image’s visual content. This new metadata can be used in many places, but our goal is to improve web accessibility and searchability by making it easy to include an alt attribute with all of your images. You can access the generated image caption from the Management API and in Asset Manager when viewing asset details and when copying an embed code. See our documentation for more info. To enable this feature, please reach out to your account manager or contact us.

Gradient Fill

A new fill mode has been added to fill excess space with a gradient color when using fit=fill or fit=fillmax on a resized image. By default, the gradient will use a combination of the vibrant dark and vibrant light colors sampled from the image’s color palette, but you can customize the color controls with a set of new fill-gradient-* parameters. See our documentation for more info.

Enhanced GIF Compression

We’ve made improvements to our GIF render pipeline to both encode the output file faster and produce smaller file sizes. This rollout will automatically improve all GIF outputs and works in tandem with the animated GIF quality (gif-q), quality (q), and auto=compress parameters.

Other Features and Fixes:

  • You can now delete any unwanted Source directly from the Dashboard. This is helpful to stay within your plan limits or simply to clean up your workspace. Note: This is an irreversible action.
  • With advanced reporting enabled on your account, you can now download your data directly from the Dashboard in addition to the previously available endpoints in our Management API.
  • We’ve increased the default rate limits for our Management API by 4x. See our documentation for more info.
  • For the safety and security of the internet, all SVGs delivered through our render stack will now be sanitized to remove any scriptable contents.
  • Image embed codes copied from Asset Manager will now include the loading="lazy" and fetchpriority="high" attributes.
  • We’ve improved our origin image caching system to not require a secondary request to your origin on a cache fill. Some customers were experiencing increased egress usage from their origins.
  • Improvements have been made to face detection performance, accuracy, and the final bounding regions of the detected faces.
  • We’ve improved the encoding speed of the WebM output format by up to 4x, and we have improved the encoding speed of animated WebP outputs with more than 50 frames by up to 2x.

2024-03-05

Image Outpainting With fill=generative

Generative Fill marks a significant advancement in imgix’s image transformation capabilities, enabling users to extend and fill images with context-aware AI. We are excited to introduce several new Generative Fill parameters that will allow you to outpaint and enhance the versatility of your images:

  1. Customize aspect ratios — Adapt your images to an aspect ratio that fits your platform requirements and apply the fill to generate pixels that complete the picture with fit=fill&fill=gen&ar=x:y.
  2. Adjust your focal point — Position the focal point of your image where you want it on the canvas with fill-gen-pos.
  3. Generate with prompts — Guide the output of the fill with prompts with fill-gen-prompt and fill-gen-neg-prompt.
  4. Achieve consistent results — Use seed values to achieve consistent results or explore variations without altering your original vision with fill-gen-seed.

Additionally, you can transform your images with Generative Fill within the Image Editor in the imgix Dashboard. See our documentation to learn more about how you can use this feature.

Generative fill is currently available for imgix customers on certain plans. If you’re interested in this feature, please contact our sales team or your Account Manager to get more information on this feature.

Using auto=format as a Default Parameter

With recent technological advancements, it’s become easier to move business logic closer to our end-users, specifically into CDN edge nodes. As such, we’re excited to now offer the ability to set auto=format as a default parameter for all customers on a paid plan. You can use the imgix Management API or Dashboard Source Configuration to update your default parameters.

Origin Request Authentication

We have expanded your options to aid in identifying requests to your origin server coming from imgix. For Web Folder and Web Proxy Sources you can configure one or more of the following:

  1. Basic Authentication — Set a username and password that will be sent in an Authorization request header.
  2. Handshake — Set a handshake secret that will be delivered in an X-Imgix-Origin-Secret header.
  3. Request Signing — Set a signing key that will be used to deliver time-based signatures in a series of X-Imgix-Signature request headers.

See our documentation for more details on how to use this new feature with your Web Folder or Web Proxy sources, and a better understanding of when you might use one option over another. We will deliver future communication around how these new options will replace IP allow listing.

Note: For all S3, GCS, Azure, and S3-compatible source types the read credentials supplied during Source setup are enough to ensure restricted authorized access to your origin buckets.

Other Features and Fixes

  • The imgix Rendering API now supports using the AVIF file type as an input.
  • Asset Refresh has long existed in the imgix Management API, and can now be triggered within Asset Manager. Refreshing will force a reprocess on a specific asset in your origin to ensure any modifications or deletion takes effect.
  • Expanded our “Load to Encode” video processing to trigger on requests for thumbnails and storyboards in addition to video playback.
  • We’ve updated our HTTP response codes to better distinguish between imgix errors and customer origin errors. The new 424 response status will indicate that imgix is having an issue accessing the requested origin asset, most likely indicating an issue with the customer’s origin. Any 5xx error will indicate an imgix internal issue.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing some inconsistent output when using crop=focalpoint.
  • Updated support for SVGs that contain inline <image> tags.
  • Fixed an issue with using rect and upscale simultaneously.

2024-01-22

Video Support for Microsoft Azure and Web Folder Sources

Microsoft Azure and Web Folder Sources can now be used with the imgix Video API. For customers with video enabled, video assets discovered in an Azure or Web Folder origin will be processed and available for playback on the Source’s imgix Video domain.

If you’d like more information on how to add video capabilities to your imgix plan, please contact us at sales@imgix.com.

Asset Manager Support for Web Folder Sources

Web Folder assets delivered via the imgix Render API will now be processed and available in Asset Manager where you can browse, search, and tag your origin images. See our documentation to read more about Asset Manager and how it can fit into your asset management workflows.

Updated Image Enhancement Algorithm

auto=enhance is switching to a new contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) algorithm. The core mission for image enhancement is to create a more vibrant, engaging, and better-looking image. We believe this change creates better enhancements today, and gives us a platform to further improve images automatically in the future.

Other Features and Fixes

  • The txt-lig Render API parameter is deprecated.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented some assets from being refreshed if there was a Source prefix configured.
  • Fixed an issue where some users with billing permissions were not receiving invoice updates via email.

2023-12-04

Video Encoding on Playback

For video customers, our new “Load to Encode” functionality makes working with your videos even easier. When a previously unprocessed video is requested for the first time we will automatically start encoding it for optimized playback. While encoding, you will see a 423 HTTP Response from our servers to notify you that the video is processing. Once encoding has completed, the video will begin normal playback on any subsequent request.

Additionally, we’ve built this functionality into the imgix video player, ix-player. The video player will automatically handle the new processing flow, and begin playback of the video once available.

If you’d like more information on how to add video capabilities to your imgix plan, please contact us at sales@imgix.com.

Other Features and Fixes

  • Improved support for serving IPTC metadata when using fm=json on an asset with malformed data
  • Fixed an issue where Sources using a path prefix would get unexpected results from bg-remove and upscale parameters
  • Fixed an issue with the skip parameter that would incorrectly skip certain frames when rendering an animated GIF

2023-10-11

AI-Powered Super Resolution for Images

We’ve released a new upscale parameter to our Rendering API that uses AI to increase an image’s resolution, making it sharper, clearer, and more visually striking. As a result, images can be displayed much larger without the typical pixelation artifacts.

imgix AI-Powered Super Resoltuion

For more details, please check out our documentation. If you are an existing Enterprise customer, please reach out to your dedicated Account Manager to enable Super Resolution. If you are not an Enterprise customer yet, please contact us at sales@imgix.com to get access to this feature.

Other Features and Fixes

  • You can now update or remove your stored origin upload credentials from within your Source’s configuration page in the imgix Dashboard. Upload credentials allow you to upload assets to your supported Source’s origin bucket from within the imgix platform.
  • We fixed some small bugs that would prevent customers on Legacy subscription plans from updating to our current plan offerings within the imgix Dashboard.
  • Patched a libwebp vulnerability (CVE-2023-4863)
  • Patched a DDOS vulnerability involving HTTP/2 protocol (CVE-2023-44487)

2023-09-12

Improved Source Deploy Infrastructure

We’ve made several improvements to our Source deploy infrastructure that allow new Sources and edits to existing Sources’ configuration to be deployed and take effect in seconds rather than minutes.

Other Features and Fixes

  • We are deprecating new Web Proxy Source types for standard plan customers. All existing Web Proxy sources will continue to work regardless of plan type. To inquire about creating new Web Proxy source types, contact our support team: support@imgix.com.
  • We will now send an email to all account users with Billing permissions when an invoice is unpaid beyond its due date.
  • Fixed issues with font rendering when using the txt-line-color parameter and txt-font parameter with multiple values.
  • Fixed an edge case issue when using the duotone parameter.

2023-07-10

Asset Manager Add API

The /add endpoint queues an asset from your origin to be added to Asset Manager. This new endpoint is useful if your asset upload and management workflows do not use the imgix Dashboard UI or Upload APIs, or if you are not relying on imgix to regularly crawl your origin for new assets.

See the docs for more information.

Other Features and Fixes

  • Refreshing an asset that has been deleted at the origin now removes it from Asset Manager as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where some video analytics were not properly attributed in Dashboard.
  • Fixed an issue where invalid values for fit=fill and fill-color would result in an unexpected image aspect ratio.
  • Fixed a decoding issue with CMYK JPEG images that would render incorrectly in some circumstances.

2023-06-05

Cloudflare R2 Source Type

We’ve added support for integrating with your Cloudflare R2 storage bucket when creating a new Source. Using the Cloudflare R2 Source type has all of the same advantages as our other S3-compatible Source types, including better asset privacy and security. Read the documentation for Cloudflare R2 Source creation or migrate an existing Web Folder Source.

Expanded Background Removal Image Support

Images larger than 12MB or 50 megapixels will now be optimized for background removal by default. See the announcement blog or read our docs for more details on how to use the bg-remove parameter. To get started, contact our sales team: sales@imgix.com.

Other Features and Fixes

  • For accounts with past due invoices, you will see a persistent banner and list of invoices in Dashboard as a reminder to submit payment.
  • The imgix render API will return a 402 HTTP response code, previously 512, when your account’s renders have been disabled for either billing or overage related reasons.
  • You will be prevented from modifying your plan until your account’s billing status is returned to normal.

2023-05-08

Background Removal Fallbacks

The imgix background removal render API now supports graceful failures by default. Not all images are prime candidates for background removal and by using the bg-remove-fallback parameter you can control what happens in those cases. We’ve also added a new response header X-Imgix-Bg-Remove-Failure-Reason to give more feedback as to why a requested images’s background removal failed.

If you’re interested in testing background removal with your sources, contact our sales team: sales@imgix.com.

File Downloads via Video API

Using the vdl parameter with the imgix video API will force the browser to download the video file instead of play it back. The value set for the parameter will be the filename of the downloaded video file, default is the original name.

Other Features and Fixes

  • Added new entries to our list of IP ranges, which are used to fetch assets from origins.
  • Asset categories and custom fields now support the full range of allowable UTF-8 characters so you can add, edit, and search in any language.
  • Fixed a bug where certain animated image files would fail to render as AVIF.

2023-04-11

Background Removal

The imgix render API now supports image background removal and replacement. See the announcement blog or read our docs for more details on how to use the new bg-remove parameter. Once enabled, you can easily see how background removal can work for your images in Asset Manager. To get started, contact our sales team: sales@imgix.com. background removal image

Expanded Usage Notifications

We’ve improved how and when we notify you that your account is reaching your included plan limits, such as origin images and bandwidth. You will receive emails and Dashboard messages beginning at 50% usage, and we will recommend how to proceed if you think you might reach your plan’s limit. Please note, we reserve the right to disable your service if you significantly exceed your plan limits.

Other Features and Fixes

2017-02-17

Error Codes

  • imgix now returns a “403 Forbidden” error on signed images with an invalid s parameter instead of a “401 Unauthorized” error. Still a 4xx error, but more correct.

2017-02-03

Dashboard

  • Added account type and optional features list to the Account view

Infrastructure

2017-01-27

Documentation

2017-01-20

Dashboard

  • Updated the calendar navigation on the Analytics view to work better for accounts with more than two years’ worth of data.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the graphs & navigation on the Analytics view to not update correctly after the user finished scrolling or resizing their browser.
  • Fixed a rendering bug that was appearing in the Analytics graphs on Chrome 55 on at least one machine.
  • Fixed a pair of bugs that were causing Javascript errors when the user would navigate away from a view with a form while it was still initializing.
  • Adjusted the background color of our modal window when it overlays auxiliary pages.

2017-01-13

Documentation

  • Fixed a bug in our example widgets that was causing dropdown menus to be incorrectly populated.

Sandbox

  • Fixed broken documentation links for a handful of parameters.
  • Updated parameter list to include newer additions such as border-radius-inner and border-radius-outer.

2017-01-06

Dashboard

  • Fixed the calendar navigation on the Analytics view to show only the last two years. Data from 2015 can still be accessed by clicking on the month name and using the dropdown menu.

2016-12-30

Dashboard

  • Fixed some error messages on the sign-in form to be more helpful
  • Removed some outdated warning copy on the Analytics view
  • Tweaked the loading behavior for some components to be less herky-jerky
  • Fixed the spacing of form footers to be more consistent

2016-12-02

Dashboard

  • Fixed a bug in the source-signing tool that was mangling user-provided query strings with more than one parameter.
  • Added some handy auto-focus behavior to a few forms that frankly, should have had this behavior from the start.
  • Made some minor spacing and layout improvements for forms on smallscreen devices.

Open-Source

2016-11-18

New Masking and Border Options

  • Added rounded corners as an option for masking images (mask=corners), with the ability to round each corner and set the radius individually (corner-radius). Also added the maskbg parameter so you can apply a color to the masked area.
  • We also added rounding to our border parameter, again with individual controls for each corner and for the inner and outer radii (border-radius, border-radius-inner).

The upshot of these two changes is that adding these common display styles is now a lot easier with imgix. Thumbnails, avatars, and other types of images with simple border and mask requirements can now be created just by adding parameters to your existing images. Check out the border and mask documentation for more information and interactive examples.

Dashboard

  • Fixed a case-sensitivity bug in the parameter field on the source-signing view.
  • Made various sizing and leading tweaks to text styling in titles and modals.

Dashboard

  • Updated our modal windows to match some of our fresher, hotter styles
  • Changed the color of the global overlay from dark to light, to cut down on rapid contrast changes (h/t Mr. Flintrup)

  • Fixed some spacing issues on the Tools view
  • Rewired the Sign-In view a bit, but you probably won’t even notice the difference.

2016-10-07

New Color Space Options

  • Added two possible values for the cs parameter, which controls the color profile of the image. In addition to srgb (the Internet standard) and adobergb1998, cs now supports tinysrgb for the bare minimum color profile, or strip, which removes it altogether.

    These new options can help reduce file size for smaller images like thumbnails where the color profile information is a larger proportion of the total image weight. See the docs for more information.

Dashboard

  • Fixed a small bug that caused the nav bar to overlap the main content in some cases
  • Improved authentication system to require fewer API calls on sign-in
  • Disabled the render_cache_ttl field in the source form. See this post for more information.
  • Updated that dusty old “settings” icon. Less wrenchy, more coggy.

Open-Source Libraries

  • Upgraded imgix-swift to Swift 3. This will not be merged to master and released until Xcode 8 is fully released, but is available for any folks currently working on updating their projects to Swift 3. We will release this branch as imgix-swift version 1.0.0 once Xcode 8 is publicly available.

2016-08-05

Open Source

  • Released Drift 0.3.3 and 0.3.4. The loading indicator is now hidden after the image finishes loading (for images with transparency), and the base CSS has been improved to work more seamlessly with existing CSS codebases.
  • Released Luminous 0.3.1 and 0.3.2. The loading indicator is now hidden after the large image finishes loading (for images with transparency), and a bug with empty Firefox captions displaying null was fixed.
  • Released ember-cli-imgix 0.3.6 and 0.3.7. These changes fix some deprecations in newer versions of Ember.

2016-07-29

Expanded Color Palette Extraction

  • Added a proper error message when trying to request a password reset link for an email address that doesn’t exist in our system.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented a useful error message from showing when trying to set a password using an expired link, instead showing a confusing generic message.
  • Fixed a bug in the source-signing view that prevented URLs with non-API parameters (including our own ixlib parameter) from being used.
  • Fixed another bug in the source-signing view that was showing an error message when using relative URLs for parameters such as mark and blend.

imgix.js 1.2.0

  • Updated imgix.URL.getColors() method to use simple AJAX instead of CSS-injection. As a result of this, colors are being returned from lightest to darkest, rather than from darkest to lightest as they were previously. This change was made to bring the behavior of this method in line with the palette=json image API, which it now uses.
  • Removed several unnecessary polyfills, shaving 4KB off of the minified file size.

imgix-go

  • Parker Moore and our friends over at VSCO have put together a Go library for implementing imgix within an application. Check it out on GitHub: parkr/imgix-go.

imgix-php

  • Fixed a few bugs around signing fully-qualified URLs in the PHP library, resulting in the release of 1.0.5. View on GitHub: imgix/imgix-php#1.0.5.

imgix-rb

  • Released version 0.3.4 of the Ruby gem, which now includes the diagnostic ixlib parameter. View it on GitHub.

2015-05-29

imgix-objc

  • Sam Soffes (@soffes) has put together a library for creating imgix URLs in Objective-C. The library is annotated with nullability, which means it’s also compatible with Swift. You can learn more about imgix-objc on its GitHub page.

imgix.js

  • Removed all code pertaining to signing imgix URLs with your API token. We decided that this code isn’t well-suited for client-side code like imgix.js. If you need to use signed URLs, we suggest using one of our client libraries instead.
    • Added a throttle parameter to imgix.fluid(). This parameter determines how often lazy-loaded images poll the viewport to determine whether they should load their source or not. This was previously defined by the debounce parameter, which also handles polling for window resize events. The default value for throttle is 200ms.
    • Fixed a bug in our lazyLoad code that was preventing images clipped by the top or left sides of the browser viewport from rendering properly.
    • Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause imgix.fluid() to not behave properly if the source image was already in the browser’s cache. Thanks to Josh French for catching the bug.
    • Released version 1.1.0.

2015-05-22

imgix.js

  • Fixed two issues (#27 and #28) that manifested when an image was set to display: none;. The bug caused images to be requested at extremely large heights, leading to a sluggish browser experience.
  • Released version 1.0.25.

JSON Output Format

  • Released a new output format, the JSON Output Format. By setting fm=json, imgix will render a JSON document instead of a manipulated image. This JSON document will include EXIF data, DPI, height, width, and more from the original image. You can read about it in the format documentation.

Web App

  • Added better validation to the default_params in the source view, to prevent illegal default parameters from being set. A common default parameter that we’re unfortunately not able to support at this time is auto=format.

imgix-wordpress

  • Fixed a few bugs in our WordPress plugin, bringing the latest current version to 1.0.2. Please update your WordPress installation.

2015-05-15

Image trimming parameters

  • Introduced 3 new parameters—trim, trimmd, and trimsd—for automatic trimming of whitespace or uniform borders around images. Read more in the trim parameter docs.

imgix-rb

  • Merged a pull request from joshfrench that fixes an issue with signed URLs. Thanks, Josh!
    • Fixed an issue with the library not correctly working with and encoding fully qualified URLs for Sources with the Web Proxy type. See pull request.

    • Updated internal list of image parameters to match recent additions and changes to our API.
    • Released version 1.0.23.

Documentation

  • Fixed an issue with the txtclr documentation. Previously, the default txtclr value was listed as fff, which was incorrect—the actual default value is 000.

2015-05-08

Image API

  • Added pad=px parameter for padding images (see the docs).
  • Added usm and usmrad parameters for applying unsharp mask (see the docs).
