ImageEngine Kube

The first self-hosted image optimization engine for Kubernetes & Docker.·imageengine.io

ImageEngine Kube is a self-hosted image optimization engine that deploys as a container inside a customer's own Kubernetes or Docker infrastructure. It performs device-aware optimization (via WURFL device detection), automatic next-gen format conversion (AVIF, WebP, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000), resizing and compression, delivering up to 80% payload reduction. Unlike credit- or usage-based SaaS image CDNs, it is billed at a flat monthly rate regardless of traffic volume, while customers retain full ownership of their data and choose their own CDN (CloudFront, Fastly, Cloudflare, Akamai, etc.).

What it's for

Optimizing product images for e-commerce to improve page load speed and conversionReducing storage and delivery costs for user-generated content platforms (real estate, social apps, community sites)Optimizing vendor/reseller images on marketplaces without control over source imagesOn-the-fly optimization of travel/hospitality listing photos instead of pre-generating variantsTesting a website's current image performanceEstimating cost savings versus credit-based image SaaS platforms

Pricing

Pricing uses an interactive cost estimator based on request volume, image size, and infrastructure costs rather than a fixed price list. Example outputs for an 'Enterprise' tier (up to 250M requests/mo) at ~100M requests/month show $1,999/mo flat fee and $19,990/yr. Actual price is tied to your tier, not traffic. Infrastructure costs (AWS/CDN/compute) are billed separately by your cloud provider.

Enterprise (example estimate)$1999/mo

Figure shown as an illustrative output of the interactive pricing estimator at ~100M requests/month; actual price is tied to customer's tier/volume, not a fixed public price. Annual contract also stated: $19,990/yr, described as equivalent to 10 months of the flat monthly rate.
