IPX is a high-performance, secure image optimizer powered by sharp and svgo that serves images in any size, format, and quality via URL modifiers. It can run as a standalone server, be embedded programmatically, or act as a remote image proxy for allowed domains.
Use cases
- serve resized images on the fly from a directory
- convert images to webp or avif automatically based on browser support
- optimize and proxy remote images through a self-hosted endpoint
- generate multiple image sizes for responsive web pages
- compress images without a build step
- self-host an image CDN
When to choose
- you need on-the-fly image resizing and format conversion via simple URLs
- you want a self-hosted alternative to cloud image CDNs
- you need secure validation of image modifiers before processing
- you want to embed an image optimizer into a Node.js app
When to avoid
- you only need one-time batch image conversion offline
- your stack cannot run Node.js or libvips
- you need a fully managed CDN with global edge caching
