Alternatives / Image CDN
An ImageKit alternative that keeps your images where they are
ImageKit combines a media library, transformations and a CDN, with an origin option for images you keep elsewhere. If the library is the part you use, it is a good fit.
CDN.MN starts from the origin: verify the domain, rewrite the host, and every image is optimized on the way through — no library to maintain, plan pricing with included bundles, and a setup path an AI coding agent can run end to end.
Why teams look for an ImageKit alternative
No second copy of your images
Your origin stays the source of truth. CDN.MN caches optimized variants and revalidates them on purge.
Included bundles instead of add-ons
Delivery, transformations, sites and domains are on the plan card; nothing meters you by surprise.
Approval where it matters
The agent path can do the setup autonomously and still stops for a human on the DNS change and production delivery.
Files with links that last (early access)
Collections for documents and downloads, each file with a permanent link — rolling out.
CDN.MN vs ImageKit
| Aspect | CDN.MN | ImageKit |
|---|---|---|
| Media library | No — Files collections for hosting (early access); your origin for site images | Yes |
| Origin pull | Yes, domain-verified, guarded | Yes |
| Formats & resizing | Automatic AVIF/WebP; URL width/height/DPR/fit | Automatic; URL transformations |
| Pricing | Plans with included bundles; Pay-as-you-go | Tiers by bandwidth and storage |
| Setup | AI-agent install or quickstart | Dashboard and SDKs |
| Sharing gated files | Early access — rolling out to programme members | — |

How the switch works
01
Verify
DNS record or file at your origin — a one-time proof.
02
Rewrite
Change the host on image URLs; keep the paths.
03
Approve
Production delivery waits for you.
Questions
Can I upload images to CDN.MN instead of using an origin?
Files collections (early access) will host uploads with permanent links. Website image optimization, though, is origin-based by design — that is what keeps setup to a host change.
What about purging?
Purge by URL, by prefix, or a whole site from the dashboard, the API, or your agent.
