A focused, transparent Cloudinary alternative
Cloudinary is a powerful, broad media platform with on-the-fly transformations and a DAM. If you mainly need image optimization — compress, convert, resize, audit, batch, report — without the breadth and credit accounting, Optimagio is a simpler, more predictable option.
- Clear per-tier image and bandwidth limits
- Compression, WebP/AVIF, resizing, audit, and reports
- Self-hostable on your own Docker infrastructure
Real product capability — not a placeholder.
Breadth vs focus
Cloudinary is a comprehensive media platform: dynamic URL-based transformations, video, a digital asset manager, and much more. That breadth is valuable — and can be more than a team needs when the actual job is "make our images smaller and modern."
What Optimagio focuses on
Optimagio does image optimization deliberately well: lossy/lossless compression, WebP/AVIF conversion, safe resizing, a website image audit, resumable batches, a storage library, and verified reports — with straightforward tier pricing based on monthly images and bandwidth, and the option to run the whole stack on your own infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Is Optimagio a Cloudinary alternative?
For image optimization specifically, yes. Optimagio covers compression, WebP/AVIF conversion, resizing, auditing, batching, storage, and reporting with transparent tier pricing. Cloudinary is a broader media platform, so the right choice depends on whether you need that breadth.
How is Optimagio’s pricing different?
Optimagio uses flat tiers based on monthly images and bandwidth (Free, Starter, Pro, Business, Scale) rather than transformation-credit accounting, which makes costs easy to predict.
Can I self-host Optimagio?
Yes. The platform runs on Docker Compose — Go API, image worker, PostgreSQL, and Redis — with disk or S3-compatible storage for results.
