A few questions about Netlify Image CDN

[hrishikesh]

@nhoizey

will the feature be available with no additional cost, even after the beta period?

Answered here: Netlify Image CDN Now in Beta

Free and fair pricing

During the beta period, we’re not charging for the Netlify Image CDN. We do, however, plan to charge for Netlify Image CDN when it becomes generally available. We’ll be sure to communicate timelines clearly and our prices will be fair, including offering a generous free tier.

@nhoizey

will you support JPEG-XL?

Also answered in the blog post:

We’ve started with AVIF and WebP, which have the best browser support, but we’re excited by new formats like JPEG XL and will be keeping an eye on browser support for these.

@nhoizey

is there a way to prevent image resizes above source dimensions?

Not right now.

@nhoizey

• can we hope for a position=auto based on image content?
• can we hope for a (default?) quality=auto based on visual accuracy, computed with SSIMULACRA for example?

We can add a feature request for these 2 (+ the prevent resizes point from above), but we don’t know if/when that would be implemented.
