Case Study: Aalto reduces image file sizes by up to 95% with imgix

Aalto reduced image file sizes by up to 95%, improved image load times, and eliminated image development hassles

Aalto, an online real estate marketplace connecting homeowners and buyers, needed to improve speed and scalability for its property listings and website images. Its previous image-processing solution had limited API capabilities and caused delays in rendering and delivery, so the team looked to imgix for a better way to compress, cache, and serve images.

Using imgix, Aalto implemented dynamic resizing, format conversion, and caching to streamline image delivery across devices. The results were significant: image file sizes were reduced by up to 95%, load times improved, and the platform now handles more than 18 million image requests per month with 100% image delivery success, while freeing the team to focus on core development.
