How to choose

Which image features do I need?

Start with the image formats and delivery options your site needs. The board compares URL transformations, automatic optimization, responsive images, and AVIF support.

Responsive images can offer versions suited to different screen sizes. Check the service details for the options that matter to your site.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a service that supports the platforms you use, such as web, API, iOS, Android, macOS, or self-hosted setups.

A public API can let software connect to a service, while self-hosting means running it on infrastructure you manage. Check the platform marks and API mark before choosing.

How much storage and domain support do I need?

Estimate the image storage you need and check whether the service includes enough. The board compares included storage and custom-domain support.

A custom domain lets image links use a domain associated with your site. Confirm any limits or setup requirements with the provider.

How should I compare pricing and free plans?

Check whether a free plan or trial gives you enough room to evaluate the service, then compare the paid starting price and what it includes.

Pricing varies by provider. For example, Cloudimage is listed as paid, with a starting price of €49 per month and a 30-day trial. Check current terms before signing up.
