Minimize Imgix Costs

Every asset served through Imgix consumes delivery credits (bandwidth). imgix transitioned to a credit-based pricing model in late 2025:

  • Management credits: cache storage (2 credits/GB/month)
  • Delivery credits: bandwidth (1 credit/GB)
  • Transformation credits: image processing (varies by feature)

Non-image assets (PDFs, ZIPs, etc.) served through Imgix consume delivery credits even though no transformation is applied.

This plugin skips non-image assets by default ($asset->kind !== 'image'). To route all assets through Imgix, set 'skipTransform' => false. You can also disable Imgix for specific volumes:

php
use Newism\Imgix\models\VolumeSettings;

'volumes' => [
    'documents' => VolumeSettings::create()->enabled(false),
],

For more details, see the imgix pricing page and the credit consumption guide.
