No variant table
Request sizes in the URL instead of pre-generating every thumbnail and breakpoint.
laravel image cdn
Image CDN for Laravel and PHP teams
Keep your original uploads in Laravel, S3, Bunny Storage, or a CMS. Skymage turns those source URLs into right-sized, cached, optimized images with URL parameters.
// Blade template
@php
$source = 'assets.example.com/uploads/products/shoe.jpg';
@endphp
<img
src="https://demo.skymage.net/v1/{{ $source }}?w=640&h=640&fit=cover&f=webp"
width="640"
height="640"
alt="Product image">
why laravel teams use it
Ship image variants without a queue full of image jobs
Laravel apps often start with simple uploads, then grow into product grids, avatars, CMS pages, and marketing images that all need different dimensions. Skymage keeps that complexity at the edge.
Works with your storage
Use public source images from your app, S3, Bunny Storage, or any reachable origin.
Cacheable output
Each transformation URL maps to a stable optimized image that can be cached globally.
implementation
Start with a small helper
A Laravel helper, Blade component, or accessor can centralize the CDN prefix while templates choose dimensions for their context.
function skymage_url(string $source, array $params = []): string
{
$query = http_build_query($params);
$base = 'https://demo.skymage.net/v1/';
return $base . ltrim($source, '/') . ($query ? '?' . $query : '');
}
$card = skymage_url('assets.example.com/products/shoe.jpg', [
'w' => 480,
'h' => 480,
'fit' => 'cover',
'f' => 'webp',
'q' => 82,
]);

Not sure if your Laravel app needs an image CDN?
Send one public Laravel route. The free audit will identify oversized images, missing responsive variants, format opportunities, and whether Skymage is worth testing on that page.
