Image distribution for the web, simplified

A project by the prettysunflower system

Upload an image once,
Use it everywhere on the web

Kakigoori is an picture distribution system to publish images on the web. Upload it once, and Kakigoori will create versions of the image optimized for the web (AVIF, WebP). You can also request for custom sized images (JPG/PNG versions will be generated on the fly, and the other versions will be created within a few minutes).

Kakigoori's images are stored by Tigris. No matter where you are in the world, images stored by Kakigoori will display as fast as possible.

Q&A

Who is using Kakigoori? Our websites all have their images stored on Kakigoori! We also use Kakigoori on some projects we worked on professionally.
Can I upload images to Kakigoori? Well... currently, We're kind of concerned about opening upload to anyone (We wouldn't want to have Tigris sending us a nasty bill for using too much storage, or having them send us a gentle email to ask why the fuck we're hosting illicit content ^^).
So, our default answer is no, but if you're really interested to use Kakigoori, either self-host Kakigoori yourself, or if you want to use this hosted version and you're a friendly person, please send us an email to me@prettysunflower.moe and we will see what we can do for you!
Also, Koumbit people, you have an uploading key, please check the Wiki! ^^
How private is Kakigoori?

We're tired of bots and AI scrappers hitting our servers, so, requests to the service are passed through Anubis, and if your request is challenged, a cookie will be placed to remember you passed the challenged.

Otherwise, we're not collecting data other than what is submitted to us (images!), so... it should be pretty private ^^

Is Kakigoori open-source? Yes! Please see the git project for that!
Who is behind Kakigoori? We're the prettysunflower system (alias, Remilia, Xeon and Takeno), your friendly nearby software developers and non-binary/plural trans women!
... why the name Kakigoori? Remilia was hungry when she created the project, and it was warm enough that she wanted some form of kakigoori.
Oh, and about the sunflowers?
They're pretty, we love them! (That's the only reason)
How can I contact you if I want? Our email is always open (me@prettysunflower.moe). Do note we may be a bit slow to reply, as replying to people scares us a bit ^^.
