Noteworthy new features
SEO-friendly URLs
Renaming images for better SEO can be quite a challenge. That's why we created a simple way to serve SEO-friendly image URLs, without renaming images. Learn how to use SEO-friendly image URLs.
Auto alt text
AI has seen explosive growth this year and we're adding time-saving AI tools to Sirv, where possible. An updated version of our automatic alt tag guide has been published and our new alt text generation tool is in beta - tell us if you'd like to try it.
Base64 text overlays
Adding text to images is a great way to personalize your images, or to automate your website's OG images. But there was one little drawback with adding text to Sirv images, not all symbols could be used. We've fixed that. Use any special character you desire in your text overlays, with Base64 encoding. Learn more.
Support for larger images
We've upgraded our capacity to support larger images — previously 32 MB, now potentially up to 128 MB. Your customers can zoom deeper-than-ever into your artwork, photos, maps and infographics. Check out the demo on our blog - a gallery of enormously large images featuring some of the world's most famous paintings.
