Images & Design

Imgix, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Imgix account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Imgix is

imgix is a real-time image processing and delivery service that enables developers to optimize, transform, and deliver images efficiently.

You paste in a key from your own Imgix account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Imgix whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Imgix.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Imgix. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Imgix account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

44 tools it already has

What it can do in Imgix

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Imgix. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Adjust Image BrightnessTool to adjust image brightness. Use when you need to modify an image's brightness level (−100 to 100) by supplying your source domain and asset path.
  • Adjust Image ContrastTool to adjust image contrast. Use when you need to modify an image's contrast level (−100 to 100).
  • Adjust Image DPITool to embed DPI (dots-per-inch) metadata for print output on an Imgix-rendered image. Use when preparing images for print to set accurate DPI. Supports JPEG and PNG only.
  • Adjust Image HighlightsTool to adjust highlight tonal mapping (−100 to 0). Use when preserving detail in bright areas of an image.
  • Blend Color Over ImageTool to blend a solid color over an image using CSS keyword or hex. Use when you need to apply color overlay transformations to an existing image URL.
  • Blend OverlayTool to overlay an image, text, or color onto a base image using imgix blending parameters. Use after specifying the base image URL and blend parameters to composite layers.
  • Draw Image BorderTool to draw a border around an image. Use when you need to overlay a border without resizing.
  • Extract Image Color PaletteTool to specify how many colors to return when extracting a color palette. Use when you need to control palette size and format.
  • Force Aspect RatioTool to force a target aspect ratio on an Imgix image. Use when a specific W:H frame is needed after choosing fit=crop or fit=fill. Example: 'ar=16:9&fit=crop&w=800' yields a 16:9,
  • Imgix Auto OptimizationTool to apply automatic best-effort image optimizations. Use when you need to compress, enhance, format, or remove redeye via Imgix's auto parameter.
  • Imgix Blend AlignTool to align the overlay relative to the base image when blending. Use after constructing a base Imgix URL to specify horizontal and vertical alignment (e.g., 'left,top').
  • Imgix Blend X PositionTool to position the overlay horizontally on an Imgix-rendered image. Use when you need to offset the blend layer by a specified number of pixels from the left edge.
  • Imgix Mark HeightTool to set watermark height on an Imgix URL in pixels or as a ratio of the watermark source. Use when adjusting overlay height while preserving aspect ratio.
  • Imgix RotateTool to rotate an image on Imgix. Use when you need to apply a counter-clockwise rotation (0–359°) with optional mode control.
  • Imgix URL ExpirationTool to append an expiration parameter to an Imgix URL so it returns 404 after a given time. Use when you want the image URL to stop serving beyond a specific UNIX timestamp.
  • IMGIXCHTool to opt in to Client Hints. Use when you want Imgix URLs to adapt based on browser headers (Width, DPR, Save-Data).
  • IMGIXCROPTool to control cropping alignment and behavior using Imgix's 'crop' parameter.
  • IMGIXCSTool to set or strip output color space/profile on an Imgix image. Use when optimizing compatibility and file size (e.g., cs=strip for smaller metadata).
  • IMGIXDLTool to force asset download. Use when you need to download an Imgix asset with a specific filename.
  • IMGIXFITTool to control how an image fits target dimensions after resizing. Use when specifying width, height, and fit behavior.
  • IMGIXFMTool to choose output file format for the rendered asset. Use after specifying the asset path when you need to convert its format.
  • IMGIXHTool to set output image height in pixels or as a ratio of the source height. Use after constructing an Imgix URL to adjust only height.
  • IMGIXLISTSOURCESTool to list all Sources for an account. Use when you need to retrieve and paginate through sources with optional sorting and filtering.
  • IMGIXMARKPADTool to set pixel padding between a watermark and the image edge or between tiled watermarks. Use after configuring watermark URL and alignment to adjust spacing precisely.
  • IMGIXMASKTool to apply a mask to an image. Use when needing rounded corners, ellipse shapes, or image-based masks.
  • IMGIXMAXHTool to limit output image height. Use when fit=crop is applied to prevent excessively tall images.
  • IMGIXMAXWTool to set the maximum output width on an Imgix URL. Use when you need to cap width (works only with fit=crop). Call after specifying fit=crop on the URL.
  • IMGIXPALETTETool to extract a color palette from an image in CSS or JSON form. Use when you need to analyze an image's dominant colors after any transformations.
  • IMGIXRECTTool to select a source-image rectangle region in Imgix before other resizing. Use when you need to crop a specific region (x,y,w,h) of the source image.
  • IMGIXROTTYPETool to control rotation behavior when rot is applied. Use after applying a rot parameter to choose between pivot (show entire image) or straighten (zoom and crop) behavior.
  • IMGIXTXTALIGNTool to align a text overlay on an Imgix image. Use when you need to position text by specifying vertical (top/middle/bottom) and horizontal (left/center/right) alignment.
  • IMGIXTXTSHADTool to set text shadow strength for overlay text. Use when you need to apply a drop shadow to text.
  • IMGIXTXTSIZETool to set text font size in pixels. Use when overlaying text and needing precise control over font size. Specify after defining the text content; default is 12px.

  • Watermark WidthTool to set watermark width. Use when you need to enforce a watermark's width in pixels or as a proportion. Use after specifying watermark source.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Imgix account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Imgix account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.

  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Imgix and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Imgix

Can an AI employee really work inside Imgix?
Yes. It signs in to your own Imgix account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Imgix?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Imgix, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Imgix account?
You paste in a key from your own Imgix account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Imgix whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Imgix?
It has 44 ready-made tools in Imgix today, among them Adjust Image Brightness, Adjust Image Contrast and Adjust Image DPI. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Imgix and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Imgix and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Imgix?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Imgix is written down with what it did and when.
