ImageKit iOS Pod allows you to use real-time image resizing, optimization, and file uploading in the client-side.
The library requires Swift 4.0 or above.
You can use CocoaPods to install ImageKit by adding it to your Podfile:
use_frameworks!
target 'target_name' do
pod 'ImageKitIO'
end
urlEndpoint
is the required parameter. You can get the value of URL-endpoint from your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard#url-endpoints.
publicKey
and authenticationEndpoint
parameters are optional and only needed if you want to use the SDK for client-side file upload. You can get these parameters from the developer section in your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard#developers.
transformationPosition
is optional. The default value for this parameter is TransformationPosition.PATH
. Acceptable values are TransformationPosition.PATH
& TransformationPosition.QUERY
Note: Do not include your Private Key in any client-side code, including this SDK or its initialization.
// AppDelegate.swift

- The official step by step iOS quick start guide - https://docs.imagekit.io/getting-started/quickstart-guides/ios
- You can also run the demo application in Example folder by running
pod install
and thenopen ImageKit.xcworkspace
in the terminal.
The library includes 3 Primary Classes:
ImageKit
for defining options likeurlEndpoint
,publicKey
orauthenticationEndpoint
for the application to use.ImageKitURLConstructor
for constructing image urls.ImageKitUploader
for client-side file uploading.
In order to use the SDK, you need to provide it with a few configuration parameters.
ImageKit.init(
urlEndpoint: "https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id", // Required.
publicKey: "your_public_api_key=", //Optional
transformationPosition: TransformationPosition.PATH, //Optional
authenticationEndpoint: "http://www.yourserver.com/auth" //Optional
)
urlEndpoint
is required to use the SDK. You can get URL-endpoint from your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard#url-endpoints.publicKey
andauthenticationEndpoint
parameters are required if you want to use the SDK for client-side file upload. You can get these parameters from the developer section in your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard#developers.transformationPosition
is optional. The default value for this parameter isTransformationPosition.PATH
. Acceptable values areTransformationPosition.PATH
&TransformationPosition.QUERY
Note: Do not include your Private Key in any client-side code.
The ImageKitURLConstructor
is used to create a url that can be used for rendering and manipulating images in real-time. ImageKitURLConstructor
consists of functions that can be chained together to perform transformations.
ImageKitURLConstructor
can be initialized by calling ImageKit.shared.url(...)
with a set of parameters defined below.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
urlEndpoint | String | Optional. The base URL to be appended before the path of the image. If not specified, the URL-endpoint specified in the parent IKContext component is used. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/ |
path | String | Conditional. This is the path at which the image exists. For example, /path/to/image.jpg . Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
src | String | Conditional. This is the complete URL of an image already mapped to ImageKit. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/path/to/image.jpg . Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
transformationPosition | TransformationPosition | Optional. The default value is .PATH that places the transformation string as a URL path parameter. It can also be specified as .QUERY , which adds the transformation string as the URL's query parameter i.e.tr . If you use src parameter to create the URL, then the transformation string is always added as a query parameter. |
The transformations to be applied to the URL can be chained to ImageKit.shared.url(...)
. See the list of different tranformations. Different steps of a chained transformation can be added by calling the function chainTransformation
.
// https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg?tr=h-400.00,ar-3-2
ImageKit.shared.url(
path: "default-image.jpg",
transformationPosition: "query"
)
.height(height: 400)
.aspectRatio(width: 3, height: 2)
.create()
More Examples can be found in Tests/Tests.swift
The complete list of transformations supported and their usage in ImageKit can be found here. The SDK provides a function for each transformation parameter, making the code simpler and readable. If a transformation is supported in ImageKit, but if a name for it cannot be found in the table below, then use the addCustomTransformation
function and pass the transformation code from ImageKit docs as the first parameter and value as the second parameter. For example - .addCustomTransformation("w", "400")

The SDK provides a simple interface using the ImageKit.shared.uploader().upload(...)
method to upload files to the ImageKit Media Library. It accepts all the parameters supported by the ImageKit Upload API.
Make sure that you have specified authenticationEndpoint
during SDK initialization. The SDK makes an HTTP GET request to this endpoint and expects a JSON response with three fields i.e. signature
, token
, and expire
.
Learn how to implement authenticationEndpoint on your server.
The ImageKit.shared.uploader().upload(...)
accepts the following parameters
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
file | Data / UIImage / String | Required. |
fileName | String | Required. If not specified, the file system name is picked. |
useUniqueFileName | Boolean | Optional. Accepts true of false . The default value is true . Specify whether to use a unique filename for this file or not. |
tags | Array of string | Optional. Set the tags while uploading the file e.g. ["tag1","tag2"] |
folder | String | Optional. The folder path (e.g. /images/folder/ ) in which the file has to be uploaded. If the folder doesn't exist before, a new folder is created. |
isPrivateFile | Boolean | Optional. Accepts true of false . The default value is false . Specify whether to mark the file as private or not. This is only relevant for image type files |
customCoordinates | String | Optional. Define an important area in the image. This is only relevant for image type files. To be passed as a string with the x and y coordinates of the top-left corner, and width and height of the area of interest in format x,y,width,height . For example - 10,10,100,100 |
responseFields | Array of string | Optional. Values of the fields that you want upload API to return in the response. For example, set the value of this field to ["tags", "customCoordinates", "isPrivateFile"] to get value of tags , customCoordinates , and isPrivateFile in the response. |
progress | ((Progress) -> Void) | Optional. |
completion | (Result<(HTTPURLResponse?, UploadAPIResponse?), Error>) -> Void | Required. |
