Getting started
Whether you are serving a few hundred, or a few billion images, you can easily integrate ImageKit.io in the existing infrastructure to instantly get real-time resizing and automatic optimization functionality. Let's get started.
ImageKit.io offers a forever free plan with generous limits. If you are just getting started with your website, our free plan has got you covered.
Sign-up for ImageKit.io
Post signup, you will be asked to choose a unique identifier called ImageKit ID. This identifier will be part of your image URL. For example:
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/image.jpg
If you plan to use ImageKit with your existing image storage or server, choose one of the following processing regions. Choose a region that is closest to your origin server location:
👉
- 1.North California (United States)
- 2.North Virginia (United States)
- 3.Frankfurt (Europe)
- 4.Mumbai (India)

- 6.Sydney (Australia)
ImageKit comes with an integrated media library with infinite storage, folder management, file tagging, powerful search features.
If you don't want to upload files in the media library, you can choose to configure your external storage so that ImageKit can pull files from there.
For demonstration purposes, we upload a sample image in your account during sign-up.
The sample image can be accessed like:
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg?tr=w-300,h-300
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg?tr=q-50
