We’ve committed to a product-led growth strategy focused on delivering continuous value to our customers and a key part of this approach is actively seeking feedback and insights from the community we serve.

Hi everyone, we would like to inform you about a few improvements we did last week: Both Kraken API and Web Interface now accept images up to 16MB in file size. We migrated to the new Data Center in New York City with much better connectivity and uplink redundancy. We’ve also upgraded our dedicated machines with way better CPUs so [...]
At Kraken.io we are pretty good at image optimization. This time we checked how well Alexa’s Top 100 Global Sites are optimized.

On average we were able to save 12% [...]

Basing packages on a set number of images does not make any sense. For instance, a [...]
Our new Developer’s plan is designed to allow you to take all the time you need to integrate with our API. Our endpoint will parse your request, validate your JSON, process uploads, obey callback_url option, etc. Everything will reflect production usage on a fully-featured Kraken API plan apart from the actual optimization process [...]
We are excited to announce that, starting from today, Kraken.io is powering the image optimization test of Microsoft’s site scan tool found at Modern.ie. Modern.ie offers a scanner which detects problems with webpages, particularly cross-browser compatibility issues, and many other various optimizations which can be performed, [...]

These price changes are effective immediately, and subject to further review before the end of that period.
