ImageKit AI Transformations

AI and generative AI transformations built directly into your image and video URLs, helping your team deliver better visuals faster and at lower cost.

Smart & object-aware image 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.

Generative Fill to 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.

Change image background

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.

Remove image background & add shadow

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.

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.

AI upscaling example

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.

Generate image variations

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

AI-powered video smart crop

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.
