Making the web visually faster

We're on a mission to make every image on the internet load instantly without compromising quality.

Our Story

Founded in 2022, GrainLux was born from a simple frustration: images make up 60% of web page weight, yet most are poorly optimized. We set out to build the most intelligent image processing platform in the world.

Today, we process over 10 billion images monthly for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Our AI-powered optimization engine and global CDN deliver images faster than anyone else.

Headquartered in San Francisco with offices in London, Tokyo, and Sydney, our team of 180+ engineers, researchers, and designers is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of visual media technology.
