Kube sandbox

Try every ImageEngine Kube feature — before you deploy a thing.

Provision your sandbox, explore the ImageEngine Control Panel, point it at your origin server, and see exactly what Kube does to your images. When you're ready to go live, your Kube cluster is configured in exactly the same way — same panel, same features, no surprises.

From sandbox to production-ready in four steps.

1. Provision your sandbox & explore the Control Panel
   Sign up, and you'll immediately get access to the ImageEngine Control Panel — the same dashboard you'll use to manage your production Kube cluster. Explore settings, configure optimization rules, and see how everything works before touching your infrastructure.

2. Point your sandbox at your origin server
   Connect your image origin (S3, your CDN, or any HTTP server) and try all the ImageEngine Kube features — device-aware optimization, auto format conversion, smart compression — without even pulling the Helm chart.

3. Browse the Kube documentation
   Get a feel for your real, enterprise-grade Kube installation. Our docs walk you through architecture, deployment options, configuration, and scaling — so you know exactly what production looks like before you commit.

4. Talk to us about deployment
   When you're ready, our team can help with deployment planning, capacity sizing, scaling strategy, and migration from your current solution. Or just ask us anything.

Everything Kube offers — without deploying a thing.

Your sandbox runs the same optimization engine that powers production Kube clusters. The Control Panel you use in the sandbox is identical to what you'll use in production. Nothing changes when you go live except where it runs.

Device-Aware Optimization

Kube detects each visitor's exact device model, screen resolution, and browser capabilities — then delivers a perfectly sized, compressed image every time. Powered by WURFL.

Automatic Next-Gen Formats

Images are automatically converted to the optimal format for each request — AVIF, WebP, JPEG XL, or JPEG 2000 — without any code changes on your end.

Up to 80% Payload Reduction

Resize, compress, and convert on the fly. Most sites see image payloads drop by 60–80%, which translates directly to faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals, and lower bandwidth costs.

Works With Your Existing Setup

Kube integrates with any CDN (CloudFront, Fastly, Cloudflare, Akamai) and any image origin (S3, GCS, Azure, or your own servers). Nothing to rearchitect.

Your sandbox is your production preview.

1. Same Control Panel
   The dashboard you configure during the sandbox is the same one you'll use to manage your Kube cluster in production. Settings, rules, and optimizations carry over.
2. Same optimization engine
   WURFL device detection, auto format conversion, smart compression — everything running in the sandbox is identical to what runs on your infrastructure.
3. Same flat pricing
   When you go live, you pay one flat monthly license. No per-request fees, no bandwidth overages. Your sandbox results are exactly what you'll see in production. The sandbox itself is always available at no cost.
4. Typically 40–60% less than SaaS alternatives.
   Kube's flat license + your own infrastructure costs significantly less than credit-based platforms at enterprise volumes.

Don't just take our word for it. This is what ImageEngine users have to say.

Simple setup, great results.

It was very easy to get started, with support for multiple approaches to handling DNS decisions. Could use language-level libraries or not, depending on preference.

Effective and easy to use.

I like the fast installation of the product. It helped me to increase the image size to 7000 subpages of WordPress. It makes my website much faster.

One of the best CDNs around.

Well- optimized image and fastest loading site to improve SEO.

Really fast and efficient image content delivery.

Device-specific resized image delivery with really great compression.

Extremely Simple to Implement Image CDN with Built In Optimization

Simple to implement

• Device detection
• Optimization based on Device detection
• Customer support

Easy to use CDN

Love the auto-optimization across multiple devices.

An outstanding tool!

The ease of install and usage! It was really simple to setup and use.

An Excellent Product with Even Better Support

After vetting a number of solutions to comply with Google's Core Web Vital requirements, ImageEngine was a clear leader in Page Speed performance upgrades.

ImageEngine Next Generation Image CDN - Benefits

Device aware and the fact it uses webP image format inline with Google web core vitals, therefore it helps your digital marketing. You must remember like every CDN you can't just install and expect it to work - you need to optimize the server and plugins.
