# Imgix > Imgix is a visual media platform that provides real-time image and video processing, optimization, and delivery. By appending query parameters to image URLs, developers can transform, resize, crop, and enhance visual content on the fly — all delivered through a global CDN. Imgix processes billions of images daily. The platform combines a URL-based Rendering API with AI-powered features (background removal, object removal, super resolution, generative fill), an Asset Manager for organizing media, and video processing for both short-form and long-form content. Imgix integrates with major cloud storage providers (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, and others) and offers SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java, Swift, and C#. ## Product - [How It Works](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works): Overview of the Imgix platform and its core capabilities - [AI Transformation](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/ai-transformation): Background removal, object removal, generative fill, and super resolution - [Automatic Image Optimization](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/automatic-image-optimization): Real-time compression, format conversion, and quality tuning - [Design and Image Transformation](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/design-image-transformation): Resizing, cropping, watermarking, text overlays, and compositing - [Asset Management](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/asset-management): Upload, organize, search, and manage visual assets - [Image Editor Platform](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/image-editor-platform): Browser-based image editing tools - [Video Optimization](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/video-optimization): Short-form and long-form video processing and delivery - [Global Content Delivery](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/fast-global-content-delivery): CDN infrastructure for fast, reliable asset delivery worldwide - [Copyright and Branding](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/copyright-and-branding): Watermarking and brand protection for visual content - [Monitoring Tools](https://www.imgix.com/how-it-works/monitoring-tools): Analytics, usage tracking, and performance monitoring ## Solutions - [Faster Webpages](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/faster-webpages): Optimize visual content for faster page loads and better Core Web Vitals - [Unleashed Creativity](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/unleashed-creativity): Advanced visual transformation and AI-powered editing capabilities - [Simplified Development](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/simpler-development): Streamlined integration with URL-based API and SDKs - [eCommerce](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/ecommerce): Product image optimization for online retail - [Agencies](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/agencies): Visual asset management and delivery for creative teams - [Media](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/media): Image and video processing for publishers and content platforms - [Automotive](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/automotive): Vehicle imagery optimization for dealers and marketplaces - [Real Estate](https://www.imgix.com/solutions/real-estate): Property listing image optimization and delivery ## Documentation - [Documentation Home](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US): Complete API references, setup guides, tutorials, and best practices - [Rendering API](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/apis/rendering/overview): 180+ URL parameters for image transformation and optimization - [Video API](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/apis/video/overview): Video processing, thumbnail generation, and format conversion - [Management API](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/apis/management/overview): REST API for managing sources, assets, and cache purging - [Quick Start Guide](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/getting-started/setup/quick-start-guide): Get up and running with Imgix - [Tutorials](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/getting-started/tutorials): Step-by-step implementation guides - [Libraries and SDKs](https://docs.imgix.com/en-US/libraries): Official client libraries for JavaScript, React, Vue, PHP, Ruby, Python, Swift, Java, C#, and Go - [Documentation llms.txt](https://docs.imgix.com/llms.txt): LLM-friendly documentation index ## Pricing - [Pricing](https://www.imgix.com/pricing): Free 30-day trial (100 credits, no card required); paid credit bundle plans from $25/month (Starter) through $500/month (Growth Plus); Enterprise custom pricing.
