Configuration
imgproxy is Twelve-Factor-App-ready and can be configured using ENV variables.
URL signature
imgproxy allows URLs to be signed with a key and salt. This feature is disabled by default, but it is highly recommended to enable it in production. To enable URL signature checking, define the key/salt pair:
IMGPROXY_KEY: hex-encoded key;IMGPROXY_SALT: hex-encoded salt;IMGPROXY_SIGNATURE_SIZE: number of bytes to use for signature before encoding to Base64. Default: 32;
You can specify multiple key/salt pairs by dividing keys and salts with comma (,). imgproxy will check URL signatures with each pair. Useful when you need to change key/salt pair in your application with zero downtime.
You can also specify paths to files with a hex-encoded keys and salts, one by line (useful in a development environment):
$ imgproxy -keypath /path/to/file/with/key -saltpath /path/to/file/with/salt
If you need a random key/salt pair real fast, you can quickly generate it using, for example, the following snippet:
$ echo $(xxd -g 2 -l 64 -p /dev/random | tr -d '\n')
Server
IMGPROXY_BIND: TCP address and port to listen on. Default::8080;IMGPROXY_READ_TIMEOUT: the maximum duration (in seconds) for reading the entire image request, including the body. Default:10;IMGPROXY_WRITE_TIMEOUT: the maximum duration (in seconds) for writing the response. Default:10;IMGPROXY_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT: the maximum duration (in seconds) for downloading the source image. Default:5;IMGPROXY_CONCURRENCY: the maximum number of image requests to be processed simultaneously. Default: number of CPU cores times two;IMGPROXY_MAX_CLIENTS: the maximum number of simultaneous active connections. Default:IMGPROXY_CONCURRENCY * 10;IMGPROXY_TTL: duration (in seconds) sent inExpiresandCache-Control: max-ageHTTP headers. Default:3600(1 hour);IMGPROXY_USER_AGENT: User-Agent header that will be sent with source image request. Default:imgproxy/%current_version;IMGPROXY_USE_ETAG: whentrue, enables using ETag HTTP header for HTTP cache control. Default: false;
Security
imgproxy protects you from so-called image bombs. Here is how you can specify maximum image resolution which you consider reasonable:
IMGPROXY_MAX_SRC_RESOLUTION: the maximum resolution of the source image, in megapixels. Images with larger actual size will be rejected. Default:16.8;IMGPROXY_MAX_SRC_FILE_SIZE: the maximum size of the source image, in bytes. Images with larger file size will be rejected. When0, file size check is disabled. Default:0;
imgproxy can process animated images (GIF, WebP), but since this operation is pretty heavy, only one frame is processed by default. You can increase the maximum of animation frames to process with the following variable:
IMGPROXY_MAX_ANIMATION_FRAMES: the maximum of animated image frames to being processed. Default:1.
Note: imgproxy summarizes all frames resolutions while checking source image resolution.
You can also specify a secret to enable authorization with the HTTP Authorization header for use in production environments:
IMGPROXY_SECRET: the authorization token. If specified, the HTTP request should contain theAuthorization: Bearer %secret%header;
imgproxy does not send CORS headers by default. Specify allowed origin to enable CORS headers:
IMGPROXY_ALLOW_ORIGIN: when set, enables CORS headers with provided origin. CORS headers are disabled by default.
When you use imgproxy in a development environment, it can be useful to ignore SSL verification:
IMGPROXY_IGNORE_SSL_VERIFICATION: when true, disables SSL verification, so imgproxy can be used in a development environment with self-signed SSL certificates.
Also you may want imgproxy to respond with the same error message that it writes to the log:
IMGPROXY_DEVELOPMENT_ERRORS_MODE: when true, imgproxy will respond with detailed error messages. Not recommended for production because some errors may contain stack trace.
Compression
IMGPROXY_QUALITY: default quality of the resulting image, percentage. Default:80;IMGPROXY_GZIP_COMPRESSION: GZip compression level. Default:5;IMGPROXY_JPEG_PROGRESSIVE: when true, enables progressive JPEG compression. Default: false;IMGPROXY_PNG_INTERLACED: when true, enables interlaced PNG compression. Default: false;IMGPROXY_PNG_QUANTIZE: when true, enables PNG quantization. libvips should be built with libimagequant support. Default: false;IMGPROXY_PNG_QUANTIZATION_COLORS: maximum number of quantization palette entries. Should be between 2 and 256. Default: 256;
WebP support detection
imgproxy can use the Accept HTTP header to detect if the browser supports WebP and use it as the default format. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by the following options:
IMGPROXY_ENABLE_WEBP_DETECTION: enables WebP support detection. When the file extension is omitted in the imgproxy URL and browser supports WebP, imgproxy will use it as the resulting format;IMGPROXY_ENFORCE_WEBP: enables WebP support detection and enforces WebP usage. If the browser supports WebP, it will be used as resulting format even if another extension is specified in the imgproxy URL.
When WebP support detection is enabled, please take care to configure your CDN or caching proxy to take the Accept HTTP header into account while caching.
Warning: Headers cannot be signed. This means that an attacker can bypass your CDN cache by changing the Accept HTTP headers. Have this in mind when configuring your production caching setup.
Client Hints support
imgproxy can use the Width, Viewport-Width or DPR HTTP headers to determine default width and DPR options using Client Hints. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by the following option:
IMGPROXY_ENABLE_CLIENT_HINTS: enables Client Hints support to determine default width and DPR options. Read here details about Client Hints.
Warning: Headers cannot be signed. This means that an attacker can bypass your CDN cache by changing the Width, Viewport-Width or DPR HTTP headers. Have this in mind when configuring your production caching setup.
Watermark
IMGPROXY_WATERMARK_DATA: Base64-encoded image data. You can easily calculate it withbase64 tmp/watermark.png | tr -d '\n';IMGPROXY_WATERMARK_PATH: path to the locally stored image;IMGPROXY_WATERMARK_URL: watermark image URL;IMGPROXY_WATERMARK_OPACITY: watermark base opacity.
Read more about watermarks in the Watermark guide.
Presets
Read about imgproxy presets in the Presets guide.
There are two ways to define presets:
Using an environment variable
IMGPROXY_PRESETS: set of preset definitions, comma-divided. Example:default=resizing_type:fill/enlarge:1,sharp=sharpen:0.7,blurry=blur:2. Default: blank.
Using a command line argument
$ imgproxy -presets /path/to/file/with/presets
The file should contain preset definitions, one per line. Lines starting with # are treated as comments. Example:
default=resizing_type:fill/enlarge:1
# Sharpen the image to make it look better
sharp=sharpen:0.7
# Blur the image to hide details
blurry=blur:2
Using only presets
imgproxy can be switched into "presets-only mode". In this mode, imgproxy accepts only preset option arguments as processing options. Example: http://imgproxy.example.com/unsafe/thumbnail:blurry:watermarked/plain/http://example.com/images/curiosity.jpg@png
IMGPROXY_ONLY_PRESETS: disable all URL formats and enable presets-only mode.
Serving local files
imgproxy can serve your local images, but this feature is disabled by default. To enable it, specify your local filesystem root:
IMGPROXY_LOCAL_FILESYSTEM_ROOT: the root of the local filesystem. Keep empty to disable serving of local files.
Check out the Serving local files guide to learn more.
Serving files from Amazon S3
imgproxy can process files from Amazon S3 buckets, but this feature is disabled by default. To enable it, set IMGPROXY_USE_S3 to true:
IMGPROXY_USE_S3: whentrue, enables image fetching from Amazon S3 buckets. Default: false;IMGPROXY_S3_ENDPOINT: custom S3 endpoint to being used by imgproxy.
Check out the Serving files from S3 guide to learn more.
Serving files from Google Cloud Storage
imgproxy can process files from Google Cloud Storage buckets, but this feature is disabled by default. To enable it, set IMGPROXY_GCS_KEY to the content of Google Cloud JSON key:
IMGPROXY_GCS_KEY: Google Cloud JSON key. When set, enables image fetching from Google Cloud Storage buckets. Default: blank.
Check out the Serving files from Google Cloud Storage guide to learn more.
New Relic metrics
imgproxy can send its metrics to New Relic. Specify your New Relic license key to activate this feature:
IMGPROXY_NEW_RELIC_KEY: New Relic license key;IMGPROXY_NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME: New Relic application name. Default:imgproxy.

IMGPROXY_SYSLOG_ENABLE: whentrue, enables sending logs to syslog;IMGPROXY_SYSLOG_LEVEL: maximum log level to send to syslog. Known levels are:crit,error,warningandnotice. Default:notice;IMGPROXY_SYSLOG_NETWORK: network that will be used to connect to syslog. When blank, the local syslog server will be used. Known networks aretcp,tcp4,tcp6,udp,udp4,udp6,ip,ip4,ip6,unix,unixgramandunixpacket. Default: blank;IMGPROXY_SYSLOG_ADDRESS: address of the syslog service. Not used ifIMGPROXY_SYSLOG_NETWORKis blank. Default: blank;IMGPROXY_SYSLOG_TAG: specific syslogtag. Default:imgproxy;
Memory usage tweaks
Warning: It's highly recommended to read Memory usage tweaks guide before changing this settings.
IMGPROXY_DOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE: the initial size (in bytes) of a single download buffer. When zero, initializes empty download buffers. Default:0;IMGPROXY_GZIP_BUFFER_SIZE: the initial size (in bytes) of a single GZip buffer. When zero, initializes empty GZip buffers. Makes sense only when GZip compression is enabled. Default:0;IMGPROXY_FREE_MEMORY_INTERVAL: the interval (in seconds) at which unused memory will be returned to the OS. Default:10;IMGPROXY_BUFFER_POOL_CALIBRATION_THRESHOLD: the number of buffers that should be returned to a pool before calibration. Default:1024.
Miscellaneous
IMGPROXY_BASE_URL: base URL prefix that will be added to every requested image URL. For example, if the base URL ishttp://example.com/imagesand/path/to/image.pngis requested, imgproxy will download the source image fromhttp://example.com/images/path/to/image.png. Default: blank.IMGPROXY_USE_LINEAR_COLORSPACE: whentrue, imgproxy will process images in linear colorspace. This will slow down processing. Note that images won't be fully processed in linear colorspace while shrink-on-load is enabled (see below).IMGPROXY_DISABLE_SHRINK_ON_LOAD: whentrue, disables shrink-on-load for JPEG and WebP. Allows to process the whole image in linear colorspace but dramatically slows down resizing and increases memory usage when working with large images.
