imgproxy News #1: imgproxy has added some outstanding new features for image processing
Hey! We’ve just released some new features for imgproxy, and we’re happy to tell you all about the hottest 🔥 ones.
New Features
imgproxy now supports OpenTelemetry
imgproxy can now send its traces and metrics to an OpenTelemetry collector. OpenTelemetry is an open protocol and toolkit for application instrumentation. OpenTelemetry collector has exporters for numerous popular metrics and traces storages and processors, so you’ll probably find your favorite there.
Enable OpenTelemetry support for both imgproxy OSS and imgproxy Pro:
docs.imgproxy.net/open_telemetry
Encrypted source URLs (Pro version only)
If you don’t want to reveal the original image URLs, you can now encrypt the source URLs with the AES-CBC algorithm.
Hide your URLs:
docs.imgproxy.net/encrypting_the_source_url
New Processing Options
raw
The raw option allows imgproxy to stream raw (unprocessed and unchecked) files. It’s helpful when you want imgproxy to be the one and only source of the content for your application. You can protect your content with imgproxy’s signature or even encrypt the source URLs.
Stream raw files:
docs.imgproxy.net/generating_the_url?id=raw
watermark_shadow (Pro version only)
Do your watermarks disappear when placed against backgrounds of the same color? The watermark_shadow option adds a shadow to your watermarks to make them visible against any image.
Ensure your watermarks are distinctive:
