Why Openinary

One upload, every size

Upload a file once, then ask for it cropped, resized or converted. Each version is made on request, no thumbnail folder to maintain.

Every format, one API

Images and video go through the same interface. PNG, WebP, AVIF, MP4, one place to send them and one place to get them back.

Super fast after the first hit

Transformed assets are cached at the edge and served as fast as static files. Only the first request does the work, the rest skip it.

Run it your way

One command and Docker runs it on your own infrastructure, or create an account and we run it for you. Same engine either way.

Yours by architecture

Your files live in your own bucket, S3 or R2, whatever you already run. Nothing gets locked into a store you struggle to migrate out of.

Open by default

The whole thing is AGPL on GitHub, engine, dashboard and hosted version included. Nothing is held back for a paid tier.

Questions

How do I deploy Openinary with Docker?

Openinary is fully Dockerized and runs on any infrastructure, with no external dependencies beyond an S3-compatible bucket. Clone the repository, set your environment variables, run docker compose up, then point it at your storage. Every step is in the documentation.

What are the costs of self-hosting?

The self-hosted version is free under the AGPL 3.0 licence. You pay only for your own infrastructure, the server and the storage behind it. With an S3-compatible bucket like Cloudflare R2, most projects land at a few dollars per month.

How does Openinary compare to Cloudinary?

Openinary covers the core of what Cloudinary does, as open source you can host yourself: transformations, API uploads and edge delivery, without vendor lock-in or enterprise pricing. Your media stays in your own bucket, there are no usage limits beyond the ones you configure, and the whole codebase is AGPL 3.0 so you can read it, modify it and contribute back.

Is the Cloud version available?

Yes, Openinary Cloud is live as a public alpha. Create your account and you are in: the free plan includes 2 GB of storage, 1,000 image transformations, 30 minutes of video processing and 50,000 CDN requests per month, no credit card required. When you outgrow it, the pay-as-you-go plan bills only what you use past the included quotas. It is still early, so expect rough edges, and tell us what breaks.

What image and video formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF for images, and video processing through FFmpeg. Transformations happen on the fly: resizing, cropping, format conversion, quality optimization and video transcoding, all driven from the URL or the API.
