Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have plans for startups or non-profits?

Yes, ImageKit offers discounts and credits for startups and nonprofit organizations. Eligible startups can apply for the Startup Program, while nonprofits can receive a 25% discount on paid plans.

How is the bandwidth calculated for my account?

Bandwidth is based on the final output object size after optimization. For example, if a 3MB image is optimized to 150KB, bandwidth usage is counted for 150KB per access.

What is a video processing unit, and how is it calculated?

A video processing unit (VPU) represents the processing of video output duration and resolution. For example, 1 second of SD video = 1 unit, 1 second of HD = 2 units, 4K = 4 units, etc.

What is an extension unit, and how is it calculated?

Extension units are used when leveraging third-party AI features such as Google Cloud Vision or Remove BG. The units depend on the complexity of the task and type of AI feature used.
