.NET 6/7

Imageflow.NET Server is image processing and optimizing middleware for ASP.NET 6 & 7.

Try the new configuration system to avoid a build step & C#!

If you don't need an HTTP server, try Imageflow.NET. If you don't want to use .NET, try Imageflow, which has a server, command-line tool, and library with language bindings for Go, C, Rust, Node, Ruby and more. Imageflow is specifically designed for web servers and focuses on security, quality, and performance.

Serving optimized and correctly sized images is the fastest way to a quicker, more profitable site or app. 60% of website bytes are from images[1].

Imageflow.NET Server edits and optimizes images so quickly you can do it on-demand. No need to manually generate every size/format combination of every image.

[1]According to the HTTP Archive, 60% of the data transferred to fetch a web page is images composed of JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs.

What else can it do?

All operations are designed to be fast enough for on-demand use.

License

We offer commercial licenses at https://imageresizing.net/pricing, or you can use Imageflow, Imageflow.NET and Imageflow.NET Server under the terms of the AGPLv3.

For help migrating from ImageResizer, see the migrating from ImageResizer section and open an issue or email support@imazen.io if you have any questions.

Basic Installation

You can look at examples/Imageflow.Server.ExampleMinimal to see the result.

These steps assume you want to serve and modify images from the wwwroot folder. You can call .SetMapWebRoot(false).MapPath("/", physicalPath) to map a different physical folder. For examples on serving files from S3 or Azure, see the full example after this.

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Core 3.1 project using the Empty template.
  2. Create a directory called "wwwroot" and add a file "image.jpg"
  3. Install Imageflow.Server 
    dotnet add package Imageflow.Server
  4. Open Startup.cs and edit the Configure method. Add 
    app.UseImageflow(new ImageflowMiddlewareOptions()
    .SetMapWebRoot(true)
    .SetMyOpenSourceProjectUrl("https://github.com/my/project"));
  5. Replace the endpoint with something that generates an image tag, like 
    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
   endpoints.MapGet("/", async context =>
   {
       context.Response.ContentType = "text/html";
       await context.Response.WriteAsync("<img src=\"image.jpg?width=450\" />");
   });
});
  6. Run your project and see the image be dynamically resized.
  7. If you're not open-sourcing your project, get a trial license key: 
    app.UseImageflow(new ImageflowMiddlewareOptions()
    .SetMapWebRoot(true)
    .SetLicenseKey(EnforceLicenseWith.RedDotWatermark, "License 50913...."));

    Then visit /imageflow.license to verify your license status. This page will be publicly available and show whether you are choosing AGPLv3 mode or using a license key.

General Notes

Integrations into Other Systems

The following platforms / solutions have a direct integration

  1. Oqtane Blazor platform (website / docs / git): Use the ToSic.ImageFlow.Oqtane (git / nuget) middleware. The package will automatically appear in Oqtane as an installable extension.
