Integrate Alibaba Object Storage Service with ImageKit.io

Connect Alibaba Object Storage as an external storage with ImageKit to get real-time image and video optimization and transformation capabilities in minutes.


You can configure ImageKit.io to fetch files from your Alibaba Object Storage bucket. This lets you leverage ImageKit.io real-time resizing, optimization, streaming, and fast CDN delivery for all your existing images and videos within minutes.

Alibaba Object Storage is an S3-compatible storage provider. To configure your Alibaba Object Storage bucket with your ImageKit account, you will need the endpoint parameter provided by Alibaba. This value generally depends upon the region in which your bucket belongs.

Visit the official Alibaba Documentation page on Regions and endpoints to find out the correct endpoint corresponding to the region in which your bucket is configured. We need the Public endpoint value from the table on that page.

For example, buckets configured in the Singapore region will have the endpoint:
https://oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com

Similarly, find the correct endpoint for the region where your bucket is configured and verify it with Alibaba's official documentation.

Once you have this endpoint, follow the instructions on ImageKit's doc page on how to configure S3-compatible external storage with ImageKit.
