About Fastly Image Optimizer
- English
- 日本語
Fastly's Image Optimizer (Fastly IO) is an image optimization service that manipulates and transforms your images in real time and caches optimized versions of them. When an image is requested from your origin server, Fastly IO can perform one or more transformation tasks before serving and caching the optimized version. For example, you can resize, adjust quality, crop and trim, serve responsive images, and more.
WARNING: Only send image content through Fastly IO. Non-image content can't be optimized using it, but will still be counted and charged as an image optimization request, which may cost you more.
Prerequisites and considerations
Before you begin using Fastly IO, keep the following in mind:
- Fastly's Image Optimizer is disabled by default. Anyone assigned the role of superuser can enable a 30-day trial directly in the web interface on the Products page. After your trial expires, Image Optimizer can be purchased for an account by contacting sales@fastly.com and then enabled for a service by any superuser or engineer, which will result in changes to your monthly bill.
- Services that use image optimization require shielding. When enabling IO, select a fallback location that's as geographically close to your image's origin as possible. This will help determine the optimal shield location for any requests for Image Optimizer transformations that need to go back to an origin that doesn't have shielding enabled. Check out our shielding guide to learn more about how shielding works.
- Using premium Fastly IO features (e.g., the AVIF encoding format) requires the purchase of Image Optimizer Professional. Contact sales@fastly.com to purchase Image Optimizer Professional for your account.
