Built in less than a month, the imgix plugin for Strapi delivers seamless AI-driven image optimization with universal storage support and zero configuration hassle - all engineered to enterprise-grade standards.

imgix, a leading U.S.-based platform for real-time image and video transformation, needed to bring its AI-powered optimization services into the Strapi ecosystem. Their goal was to publish an official plugin that seamlessly integrates with any media storage provider supported by Strapi, including AWS S3, Azure, and many others.
The Challenge
As imgix expanded its offering of intelligent media services, it recognized a growing demand in the digital asset management (DAM) market for streamlined, headless integrations. Their goal was to empower developers and content teams with advanced, AI-powered image processing - but without locking them into any specific hosting or storage provider. The challenge was to bring this vision into the Strapi ecosystem through a plugin that would meet the technical expectations of modern developer workflows while maintaining simplicity for editorial users.
To address this, imgix sought a technology partner with a deep understanding of Strapi’s plugin system, proven experience in building for the open-source ecosystem, and a track record of enterprise-grade delivery. Sensinum, a long-standing Strapi contributor and core plugin author, was selected to architect and deliver a production-grade plugin ready for official marketplace publication - all within a tight timeline and under enterprise compliance constraints.
The Solution
Sensinum engineered and delivered a fully featured, TypeScript-based Strapi plugin that integrates the imgix service with Strapi’s media library and core admin workflows.
- The plugin was built in under a month, adhering to Strapi Market standards and imgix’s architectural expectations.
- A seamless plug-in / plug-out experience ensures compatibility with any Strapi upload provider.
- A dedicated settings interface allows users to configure the integration in minutes.
- Admins can synchronize or desynchronize assets between Strapi and imgix with full control.
- Strong test coverage and clean code practices were applied to support future extensibility.
All work followed ISO 27001-aligned processes to meet enterprise security standards and imgix’s compliance expectations.

migration to Strapi 5
Sensinum’s engineers provided excellent workmanship coupled with very fast delivery ahead of our ambitious schedule. Their knowledge, expertise, and guidance made us feel comfortable and confident with our choices. We knew the work was going to be completed on time and with “no fuss”.
The Results
In less than a month, Sensinum delivered a production-ready plugin that enables:
- Instant media enhancement - through AI-powered imgix transformations embedded within the Strapi interface
- Universal compatibility - across storage providers with a seamless developer experience
- Operational simplicity - with intuitive admin controls and in-app configuration
The success of the initial project strengthened the partnership between imgix and Sensinum and laid the foundation for deeper collaboration. When Strapi 5 was introduced, the imgix plugin became the first commercial plugin to be officially migrated to the new version - a milestone that underlined Sensinum’s engineering discipline, commitment to quality, and leadership in plugin development for the Strapi ecosystem.
