A Go-based HTTP server that serves JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG and other images as WebP/AVIF/JXL on the fly, without changing the original URLs. It caches converted outputs and is typically deployed via Docker behind a reverse proxy.
Use cases
- serve jpg/png images as webp without changing urls
- reduce image bandwidth and speed up website loading
- improve google pagespeed score with modern image formats
- on-the-fly image compression for an existing image directory
- convert images to avif automatically on a self-hosted server
- optimize blog or gallery images with a caching image proxy
When to choose
- you have a directory of legacy JPG/PNG images and want modern formats without renaming files or regenerating assets
- you want a standalone self-hosted image optimization service deployable with Docker
- you need automatic caching of converted images to avoid repeated conversion cost
When to avoid
- you need image processing embedded in your application code rather than a separate HTTP service
- you require formats or transformations beyond WebP/AVIF/JXL conversion, such as resizing or cropping
- you cannot run an additional service or container in front of your static files
