nice, an independent image/blob service for atproto (eg, for building a CDN)

fwiw, bluesky builds on imgproxy (which is open source), and any of these components could be combined with cheap CDN services like fastly or cloudflare for small indie projects
PinkSea is now running on top of a custom ATProto image proxy! we've ditched cdn.bsky.app to be more reliant on only ourselves and introduced github.com/shinolabs/ha... instead

please try out the site and let me know how it feels :)

In light of recent events we are now running on our own cdn! If you see any issues let us know. We're using @blooym.dev's porxie with imgproxy and @bunny.net. This also means we can finally add our own presets 🥳

Happy graining!

User <--> cdn.bsky.app <--> BunnyCDN <--> imgproxy <--> PDS

多分こんな感じかな。 imgproxy --> PDS のところがあやしい。

cdn.bsky.app : 画像呼び出しURL

BunnyCDN: キャッシュがあったら返す。なかったらimgproxy経由で取りに行く

imgproxy: PDSに画像取りに行くけど、その時に圧縮したりリサイズしたり程度の配信最適化加工をする

PDS: アップロードされた画像データのあるところ

wonder if you could just run an imgproxy and host a social-app fork that doesn't jpeg everything to fuck and get art people to pay for it

I've built a slightly nicer ATProto Blob proxy that's performs proper validations on blob content and can handle moderation takedowns.

The docs include a rough guide for configuring it, alongside steps to use with imgproxy and how to get a similar experience to bskys CDN.

Breaking news: imgproxy now supports JPEG XL! We added this much-anticipated feature to the `latest` build of our Docker images. We usually don't announce features not in release yet, but we think this one deserves special treatment 🍭.

cdn.bsky.app returned Bad Gateway, feels heavy.

Do you know why we feel butterflies in our stomachs? Because today we learned that Bluesky uses imgproxy! Considering this is our very first post, could there be a better start? 🦋💙

while im on the topic of imgproxy - why tf is passthrough headers a pro feature, its really annoying

Awesome write-up from @glass.photo on how they moved to imgproxy from Imgix, improving cost efficiency, speed, and security. Check out their journey to taking control over image processing:

why is imgproxy, a server-side libvips wrapper for resizing images, claiming to be "ai-powered" on their website

ok made cdn.madoka.systems produce good images by actually reading the docs

New logo. New website. Same good old #imgproxy.

Please welcome our renovated website: new look, better performance, more info. Designed by our favorite @romanshamin.bsky.social‬ 💙

so tempted to write my own image transforms in code and remove imgproxy from this stack
September 19, 2026 at 2:27 AM
i guess their imgproxy settings suck ass

If/when imgproxy supports animated AVIF I will be switching from webp to that or whatever codec ends up being more efficient and sufficiently adopted by modern browsers

Yep, the CDN is the bottleneck right now. Here’s the issue for it: github.com/imgproxy/img...
Partial metadata preservation for AI Transparency · Issue #1488 · imgproxy/imgproxy
Images which are generated by AI and then processed by imgproxy might run out of compliance. It would be great to have preservation of this data as a future. Regulatory timelines: 1 January 2026 — ...

Cloud image APIs are convenient until the bill or the vendor lock-in shows up.

imgproxy (@imgproxy.net) is self-hosted: resize, convert, and optimize images straight from URL parameters, with protection against common attack vectors.
