Picfit is a reusable Go HTTP server that resizes, crops, and generates thumbnails of images on the fly, acting as a proxy over storage backends like S3, GCS, or the filesystem. It caches generated keys in Redis or in-memory stores and is designed to sit behind an HTTP cache such as Varnish.
Use cases
- serve resized images on the fly from S3
- generate thumbnails for a website without pre-processing
- proxy and transform images stored in Google Cloud Storage
- cache resized image variants with Redis
- offload image resizing from application servers to a dedicated service
When to choose
- you need on-demand image resizing across multiple storage backends
- you want a standalone image service behind a CDN or Varnish
- your stack is Go or you prefer a single self-hosted binary
When to avoid
- you only need simple build-time image processing in a script
- you want a UI-driven image editor
- you need advanced editing like filters or face detection
