Alternatives / Image CDN
An imgix alternative your agent can install
imgix pioneered the origin-based rendering API: point a source at your storage, describe the image you want in the URL, get it. CDN.MN shares that shape.
The difference is what surrounds it: a domain-verified pull-through with a hostile-origin guard, a snapped width list so a URL cannot mint unlimited variants, plan pricing with included bundles, and a setup flow that an AI coding agent can complete for you.
Why teams look for an imgix alternative
Predictable variants
Every width snaps to a list you control; the quality parameter snaps to your site's setting. Your cache stays warm and your bill stays flat.
Pricing you can read out loud
Delivery, transformations, sites, domains — each an included number on the plan, with Pay-as-you-go and signup credit to start.
Setup by prompt
The agent path handles domain verification, hostname, URL rewriting and stops for your approval before production.
Files alongside (early access)
Host a PDF or a zip next to your images, with a permanent link — rolling out.

Questions
Do I need to change my image URLs?
Only the host. The path stays the same, which is what lets the CLI or your agent do it across a repo safely.
Can I set explicit formats or quality?
Format is negotiated from the browser's support; quality is your site's configured value. Both are deliberate: a free-form quality parameter multiplies one image into thousands of billable variants.
