# imageproxy [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/willnorris/imageproxy.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/willnorris/imageproxy) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/willnorris.com/go/imageproxy?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/willnorris.com/go/imageproxy) [![Apache 2.0 License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg?style=flat)](LICENSE)
imageproxy is a caching image proxy server written in golang. It supports
dynamic image resizing and URL whitelisting.
imageproxy is a caching image proxy server written in go. It supports basic
image adjustments like resizing, cropping, and rotation, and access control
using host whitelists or request signing. And because it's pure go, deployment
is a breeze.
This project was inspired by, and is designed to be an alternative to,
WordPress's [photon service][photon]. Photon is a great free service, but is
limited to sites hosted on WordPress.com, or that use the [Jetpack
plugin][jetpack]. If you don't want to use Jetpack, then you're asked to use a
different service. If you're looking for an alternative hosted service, I'd
recommend [resize.ly][], [embed.ly][], or [cloudinary][]. I decided to try
building my own for fun.
This project was originally inspired by, and was designed to be an alternative
to, WordPress's [photon service][photon] (read more in [this post][]).
Personally, I use it primarily to dynamically resize images hosted on my own
site. But you can also enable request signing and use it as an SSL proxy for
remote images, similar to [atmos/camo][] but with additional image adjustment
options.
