imagor

imagor is a self-hosted image server that turns one master photo into every size, crop, and format your site needs, generated on demand from a single URL. You describe the transformation in the address itself: a width and height, a smart crop, then a chain of filters for fill color, format, quality, and watermark. Requests stream through a pipeline built for parallel throughput, so a thumbnail costs milliseconds even when traffic peaks, and the same syntax your team may already know from thumbor works unchanged. Smart cropping keeps the important part of the frame, focal points pin the exact region that must survive, and detection plugins can blur faces automatically for privacy-sensitive publishing. Forty-plus filters cover the daily work of a media pipeline: text overlays with real fonts, image compositing with blend modes, rounded corners, redaction, sharpening, and per-channel color control. Output lands in modern formats including WebP, AVIF, and JPEG XL, with automatic format negotiation and a byte budget that squeezes quality until a file fits your limit. Processed results cache to filesystem, S3, or Google Cloud storage, signed URLs keep strangers from minting their own transformations, and a metadata endpoint returns BlurHash placeholders and average colors for lazy-loading galleries. A companion service adds video thumbnails, and an MCP template layer composes OG cards and product grids. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
