IMAGE OPTIMIZATION · A CONTENT DELIVERY CAPABILITY]
Every image, the right size and format.Automatically, at the edge.
Resize, crop and convert JPG and PNG images on the fly, and serve WebP or AVIF to every browser that supports them - no changes to your origin, turned on for any CDN resource.
Image Optimization at a glance
- Smaller JPG images with AVIF
- Up to 90%
- Lighter PNG images with WebP+
- ~40%
- Average cache hit ratio
- 98%
WHY IT MATTERS
Lighter pages. Lower bills.
Faster websites
Accelerated image downloads make every page load faster.
Sharp images, smaller files
Intelligent compression keeps high resolution while cutting file size.
Lower costs
Smaller images need less storage and less bandwidth.
Simpler management
Keep one original per image; every variant is created on request.
MODERN FORMATS
Modern formats, without the extra work.
The CDN checks what each browser supports and serves the smallest format it can read. Browsers without support get the original image. Your URLs stay the same.
AVIF
Eligible JPG images delivered as AVIF - up to 90% smaller than the original.
WebP
JPG and PNG images converted to WebP: 25–34% smaller than JPEG, about 26% smaller than PNG.
WebP+
For detailed PNGs - logos, icons, transparency, gradients: about 40% lighter with no visible loss.
Gzip compression
Text responses - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON and SVG - compressed before delivery.
TRANSFORM WITH A URL
One original. Every variant you need.
Add a module to the image URL and the edge does the rest - for example /mnresize/400/300/path/image.jpg.

HOW IT WORKS
Optimized once, cached at the edge.
- 01 / 04
A request arrives
A browser asks for an image through your CDN.
- 02 / 04
The edge transforms it
Resizing, cropping and format conversion run in real time on GPU-powered servers.
- 03 / 04
The result is cached
Each variant is stored at the edge under its own URL.
- 04 / 04
Repeat requests come from cache
Following requests are served from the edge without processing again.
