Whether you’re an engineer optimizing content delivery or a creator looking for seamless in-editor image editing, this new feature transforms how your application handles images.
Why Image Optimization Matters
Modern websites and web applications are packed with images that play a key role in the user experience. When those images aren’t optimized for performance, they can bloat page size, delay load times, result in poor SEO, and simply frustrate website visitors, web app users, and web content creators.
Product teams face the additional challenge of controlling bandwidth costs and maintaining visual quality without adding manual work. CKEditor’s Image Optimizer, powered by Uploadcare, addresses all of these issues with an automated, scalable approach to image handling that delivers performance without compromises.
What the Image Optimizer Brings to Your Web App
The Image Optimizer brings performance-focused image delivery and intuitive editing directly into CKEditor. Engineers gain access to a backend pipeline that compresses and reformats images automatically, then serves them through a high-speed CDN. This reduces bandwidth usage and ensures images are responsive, optimized, and ready for every screen size. The integration is fast and lightweight, built on CKEditor’s modular architecture.
For your content creators, the tool offers an integrated editing experience that eliminates the need for external software. Creators can crop, resize, apply over 40 Instagram-style filters, and transform images in real time - all from inside the editor. Uploads are supported from local devices, URLs, cloud storage, or social platforms, streamlining every step of the publishing workflow.
One Click, Multiple Optimizations
When an image is uploaded, the optimizer goes to work immediately. It detects the end user’s device and browser to select the best file format - such as WebP or AVIF - and dynamically resizes the image to fit the screen. Responsive breakpoints are handled automatically, reducing the need for custom media queries or client-side scripts. This intelligent image delivery dramatically improves load speed without requiring developers to write additional code.

Built-In Security and Compliance
Image Optimizer is designed to meet the needs of security-conscious and regulated environments. Every image goes through built-in safety checks, including malware detection and NSFW content filtering.
The platform supports enterprise compliance standards such as SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA. For teams working in finance, healthcare, education, or the public sector, this ensures that every image upload remains secure, auditable, and compliant from end to end.
Gains for Image-heavy Content
Without Image Optimizer, teams spend hours manually managing image quality and performance. Engineers or CKEditor end users have to resize and reformat assets for multiple devices or rely on third-party tools, often introducing friction and inconsistencies in the process.
Now, with Image Optimizer integrated into CKEditor, teams experience faster load times, streamlined content workflows, and a simpler editing experience for image-heavy content. Product teams gain performance improvements with minimal integration time, while creators stay focused on delivering great content instead of fiddling with image settings.
