ImageKit AI

Create, enhance, and deliver media in a fraction of the time. ImageKit blends Generative AI with a world-class transformation & DAM platform, so your team ships better visuals—faster and at lower cost.

Generative Fill: extend any image

Resize an image to a new width or height and let bg-genfill intelligently paint the missing pixels. Ideal for turning portrait shots into hero banners, no reshoots, no awkward crops.

Smart & object-aware cropping

One master image, many perfectly framed derivatives. Use fo-auto for smart crops, fo-face for face-centric thumbnails, or fo-{object} to focus on any of 80 + supported objects- cars, dogs, shoes, and more—directly in the URL.

Docs

Change backgrounds

Replace dull or cluttered backdrops with on-brand scenes using e-changebg-prompt-{text}. Describe the environment—“warm wooden table studio lighting” or “snow-covered mountains at dusk”—and ImageKit composites it behind the subject with photo-realistic accuracy.

Chain with other transformations like e-dropshadow to deliver ready-to-publish product shots at scale.

Docs

Remove backgrounds & add AI shadows

Isolate subjects with e-removedotbg (or cost-efficient e-bgremove) and append e-dropshadow for realistic shadow—no manual masking required.

Need branding? Simply append an l-image overlay to stamp your logo in the same URL—consistent, repeatable, and fully automated.

Docs

Generate images from text prompts

Describe your visual in ik-genimg-prompt-{text} and ImageKit returns a brand-new, copyright-safe image—no stock fees, no design queue.

Docs

Generate endless variations

Keep campaigns fresh with e-genvar. Start from one asset and instantly render limitless colour, fabric, or style variants—on demand.

Docs

Upscale low-resolution images

Boost resolution up to 4 × with the e-upscale transformation—produce crisp, detailed visuals from legacy or user-generated content in a single call.

Organize with LLM-powered intelligence

Use AI to understand your assets and convert visual content into tags, structured metadata, and detailed descriptions—automatically. Configure AI Tasks in natural language to extract exactly what you need from every image.

Ask questions, get structured metadata and tags

Ask questions that make sense for your business: "What is the collar type of the t-shirt?", "Is this the interior or the exterior of the car?" The LLM analyzes each image and returns structured metadata fields or tags, ready to power search and workflows.

Bring your own vocabulary

Standardize how assets are classified by giving AI a predefined list of approved values. Whether it's "SUV" vs. "Sports Utility Vehicle" or "T-shirt" vs. "TShirt", the AI selects only from your chosen terminology, keeping your taxonomy consistent across teams and workflows.

Auto-generated descriptions

Generate clear, contextual descriptions for every image using AI. Use them as alt text for accessibility, improve on-page SEO, or enrich asset metadata for search without manual effort.

Intelligent Asset Screening & Moderation

Use configurable LLM-powered AI Tasks to analyze and categorize assets as they're uploaded.

  • Evaluate content with rule-based prompts like "Does this image contain explicit content?" or "Is a person visible?"
  • Convert responses into moderation tags or structured metadata, and automatically mark assets (e.g., "Needs review") for further inspection.

Pair automated checks with manual review to maintain brand integrity, safety, and compliance at scale.

Docs

AI-powered search & discovery

Describe what you need, or provide an image, and let AI surface the right assets—instantly.

Natural language search

Enter queries like "sunset on the beach" and instantly find relevant assets based on image content, even if those exact words don't appear in the filename or metadata.

Find visually similar files

Start with an image to uncover similar compositions, formats, or styles. Ideal for finding variations, resized creatives, or complementary assets.

Auto-tag every upload

Automatic image and video tagging on ingest enhances organisation and turbo-charges search across your entire media library.

AI-powered video transformations

Apply the same intelligent transformations to video that you use for images. With AI-powered smart cropping for video, ensure the most important part of your footage is always in focus for vertical mobile screens, thumbnails, and social placements—without manual editing.

Combine with adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS & DASH) to deliver buffer-free playback that automatically adjusts to network conditions across any device or geography.
