Companies Using ImageKit

I expected ImageKit to be an easy page to write: an image CDN, a clean URL pattern, a rule that looks for ik.imagekit.io in a page's link tags. Our crawl found that address on 20,981 live domains, and almost all of the work went into finding out which of them were ImageKit customers at all. I fetched every homepage in October 2026, read the ImageKit account id from the image URLs, and rendered 452 bot-checked pages in a headless browser. 3,250 domains survived, 1,800 of them matched to a company. That's the number this page uses.

What we took out, and why

ImageKit's Forever Free plan gives anyone an image host with a public address, and the raw count shows it. We removed 6,349 gambling pages on top of the 5,322 for-sale and gambling pages our title filter had already caught. They follow one pattern: someone takes over a domain that used to belong to a dentist, a school or a restaurant, puts up an Indonesian or Thai betting page and loads its logo, banners and favicon from a free ImageKit account. 3,601 of them had no stored title, which is how they slipped the filter.

The second-biggest group was one company. BeyondMenu, a US online-ordering service whose owner page sells restaurants a "customized website", builds those sites as Next.js apps on Vercel and serves every menu photo from one ImageKit account. That's 3,182 domains, all removed, because the ImageKit customer is BeyondMenu, not the restaurant. Smaller platforms do the same thing: NextPaw for 169 pet stores (its "Powered by NextPaw" footer logo comes from that account), Heartbeat for 117 online communities, Remarketer for 112 real-estate agents' sites, and LaunchNotes for release-note portals such as Dutchie's and Versapay's. 1,824 more were dead.

"More than four in five domains carrying ImageKit's address weren't ImageKit customers. A free plan with a public image URL is an easy host for spam, and for platforms serving thousands of client sites from one account." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: never build an ImageKit list from a raw count. And if you sell an image CDN, BeyondMenu is one account behind 3,182 restaurant sites.

Who is left

At the time of our check, the 3,250 were 2,070 sites loading ImageKit from an account of their own or their web agency's, 442 live pages that no longer show it on the homepage, and 739 we couldn't load. The 2,070 use 1,523 different accounts, and 1,294 of those accounts sit on a single domain. The multi-domain accounts are mostly one owner's fleet (Qualys on its main site and country domains, Elite Havens on its villa sites) or someone building sites for clients, such as one account across 32 orthodontic practices.

The 739 need a caution. 152 of them carry the stack of a US home-services site builder (Emotion, Umami and shadcn/ui together) whose roofing, HVAC and cleaning sites all load one ImageKit account. We confirmed that account on 36 sites we could open, but the bot wall stopped us on the rest, so they stay in the count.

Sales signal: start from the 2,070. A company name in the account path (qualys, panmac, isuzu, littlespoon) is a good sign the site owner holds the contract; a random string shared across unrelated sites is an agency or platform.

India first, once you can see the account

Across all 3,250, the United States leads with 573 matched companies, then India (345) and the United Kingdom (121). That US lead comes from the pages we couldn't load: 243 of their 365 matched companies are American. On the 2,070 sites where we saw the account, India comes first, with 306 matched companies against 280 American ones. That fits the vendor. ImageKit Private Limited is Indian, its founders came from Ixigo, and its customer page leads with Indian brands. Durian and SaffronStays are on that page and in our list.

Sales signal: for an ImageKit competitor, India is the market where ImageKit is most often the owner's own choice. Outside India, expect more agency-built sites, which means selling to the agency.

Small companies, horizontal use

58.48% of matched companies have 1 to 10 employees and 26.06% have 11 to 50. Only 27 have more than 1,000 staff, among them Qualys, Swansea University and PEP. Ages run young: 69.35% were founded in 2010 or later. Real Estate (5.85%), Construction (5.73%) and IT Services (5.55%) lead, and no industry reaches 6%.

The big brands are mostly missing for a reason. Of the brands on ImageKit's customer page, Durian and SaffronStays, both in our list, load the shared address; Swiggy, Nykaa, Lenskart and BookMyShow don't. ImageKit's pricing page sells a custom domain from the $89-a-month Pro plan up, and a site on its own image hostname never touches ik.imagekit.io.

Sales signal: this is ImageKit's long tail of self-serve and agency accounts. A company still on the shared address is on a lower plan or hasn't set up a custom domain, which is a real opening for a rival CDN.

Churn is mostly the spam turning over

8,355 domains have dropped ImageKit on at least one hostname since we began tracking it on 16 March 2026, a figure that includes the pages we removed. When I broke the drops down, 677 still loaded it on another hostname, and 4,011 of the 7,668 that dropped it everywhere had gambling-style titles. The domains we crawl also turn over every month, dead ones out and new ones in, and our detection widens, so not every drop is a customer leaving. I wouldn't quote an ImageKit churn rate from this.

"The 8,355 drops say more about how fast gambling pages come and go than about anyone leaving ImageKit." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: don't read an ImageKit drop as a switching signal until you've checked what the domain was.

The stack around it

Google Analytics runs on 54.43% of the 3,250 and Cloudflare on 48.37%. WordPress is on 19.91% and Elementor on 5.97%, and some of those WordPress sites route even their jQuery and theme files through ImageKit, which takes someone technical to set up. A second group is custom-built: Vercel Analytics is on 11.78%, and jsDelivr (19.32%) and cdnjs (16.68%) are the common public CDNs alongside ImageKit. Overlap with the category's rivals is tiny: 8 domains run ImageKit and Canva today, and none run ImageKit and Optimole.

Sales signal: agencies are a channel worth mapping. 14 own or agency accounts in our check cover nine or more domains each.

What it costs

ImageKit's pricing page (read 16 October 2026) lists Forever Free at $0 with 20 GB of bandwidth and 3 GB of storage, Lite at $9 a month, Pro at $89 a month with 225 GB of bandwidth and a custom domain, and Enterprise on quote. Its about page claims 300K users and more than 3,000 businesses in 85 countries. Our 1,523 accounts are about half that business figure, which fits a count that can't see custom-domain customers.

Key takeaways

1. 3,250 live domains after cleaning, 9th in Digital Asset Management with 2.85%.

2. We removed 17,731 of 20,981: gambling pages, BeyondMenu's restaurant sites, other platforms' client sites, dead and for-sale pages.

3. On sites where we saw the account, India leads the United States.

4. Custom-domain customers, including most of ImageKit's case studies, aren't in the count.

5. The 8,355 drops since March are mostly spam turning over.
