Added Inclusion and Exclusion Paths to Image Manager

• Now you can configure your Source to include or exclude certain paths from asset discovery in Image Manager. This does not affect which assets can be rendered via imgix, only which assets are eligible to appear in Image Manager.

Video Now In Limited Availability

• We are excited to announce that our new Video API is now in Limited Availability for all of our Enterprise Customers. This enables you to process, optimize, and deliver your videos from the same Source you currently serve images from. Contact us if you would like to have the Video API enabled for your account.

Performance Improvements

• Released upgrades to our image processing resulting in up to 20% faster average render times and up to 34% faster average render times for certain file formats.

Log4j Update

• We would like all of our users to know that imgix does not use Log4j in any of our services so we are not impacted by the recently publicized exploits. As always, we are continuously monitoring our services and staying up to date with security best practices.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where some Purge API requests would intermittently return a 401 Unauthorized error.

AVIF Update: Animations and New AVIF Default

• Animated AVIFs are now supported (previously, animated images converted to AVIF would render as static files). Note: some versions of Firefox still do not support animated AVIFs and any animated AVIF returned to Firefox will render as a static image.
• The rollout making AVIF the default format for auto=format is currently underway and all users will gradually start seeing requests return AVIFs for compatible browsers. You can read more about our AVIF solution here or contact us if you want to opt out.

XMP Metadata

• XMP metadata can now be preserved for JPG to JPG transformations. If you would like to learn more about this feature, please reach out to us.

Search in Contentful

• The imgix App on Contentful now supports search! Quickly find the right image and optimize it with imgix.

Rendering Bug Fixes

• Fixed some cases where transparent backgrounds were not being properly preserved with auto=compress.
• Fixed some cases where fill=blur was not working in PNG to JPG transformations.
• Fixed some cases where trim was not working as expected with transparent borders.

Japanese Quick Start Guide

New Contentful App Available

• The imgix App on Contentful allows content creators to browse, preview, and select images in the content development process. Read our blog post about it for more details.

AVIF and auto=format

• We announced that AVIF will be the default format for auto=format later this year, which can result in image size savings of up to 30% over WebP. If you are not ready for this transition, please reach out to us by December 1.
