With the publication of the 4th episode of our [Kirby Kosmos](https://getkirby.com/#kosmos) newsletter, Kirby team member Fabian Michael is giving away 5 licenses of his [ImageKit](https://github.com/fabianmichael/kirby-imagekit) plugin. ImageKit provides an asynchronous version of Kirby’s Thumbnail API, and the upcoming version 1.1.0 will also feature image compression and optimization. If you want to take your chance to win a free license of the plugin, you have to do the following: - **Reply to this thread until Friday, October 14th 2016 11:59 PM (CEST)**. Tell us what’s your favorite feature of the plugin, or how you are using it in a current/upcoming project. Feel free to post a link to your project, if it’s already online. Please reply only once. - **Do not post feature requests** into this thread, as it is only intended for the raffle, not for discussion. If you have an idea, please post it into the [plugin thread](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/imagekit-an-asynchronous-thumbs-api/4601) or open a new issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/fabianmichael/kirby-imagekit/issues/new). - The winners are drawn randomly from all valid replies and will receive a promotion code for retrieving their free license via private message on Monday, October 17th. The winners will also be announced in this thread. - In connection with the participation in the raffle, no recourse to legal action is permitted. Good luck! 😃 **PS:** If you’re not one of the lucky winners or you need more than one license, you can **[get the plugin](http://sites.fastspring.com/fabianmichael/product/imagekit) with 30% off** until October 31st 2016. Just enter the promotion code `KOSMOS2016` when checking out. ---

Great idea! I recently bought the first ImageKit license and used the plugin for the first time, after my client decided to upload hundreds of images to an image gallery: [https://www.panorama-bad.de/de/quicknav/galerie](https://www.panorama-bad.de/de/quicknav/galerie) It worked perfectly and is a must-have for future projects with many images. It really complements Kirby and I’m looking forward to the image compression features. By the way: The link to this thread was missing from the newsletter. Just a message saying “hier Link zum Thread”. 😅 ---

This is a really nice giveaway. I followed the development of ImageKit because it’s something I could use for my main side project, [thegallery.io](http://thegallery.io) which, as you can see, is image heavy. Was already considering the possibility of getting a license for the upcoming V4 of the site but since you’re giving away licenses let’s see if I’m lucky 🙂 And if I’m not lucky I’ll definitely buy a license. ---

**This is totally forbidden by Swedish law:** > **[Lotterilag (1994:1000)](https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/lotterilag-19941000_sfs-1994-1000/)** > Lotteries are only allowed by granted permission. > A license to organize lotteries shall be for a certain time and a certain > area where lotteries are permitted.

No laws like it in Germany? ---

Yes, of course there are laws in Germany 🙂 But this is not a lottery but a raffle. You don’t have to pay anything to take part in it, nor do you have to buy anything. ---

Raffle? Alright, count me in! This is a really interesting plugin. I once had a client server that couldn’t deal with creating 20 at once. This plugin would’ve been really helpful. (it didn’t exist at the time) I think the image optimization feature is killer. ---

This plugin is a must-have for every image heavy site. Of course I’d like to win a license, too. 😜 ---

Creating my first mobile-first design, this plugin is **just what I need**. Once my site is up, it’ll help me load optimized images to users looking at my site on a phone, then going upgrading in quality as the visitor starts looking at my site with bigger screens and better internet speeds. ---

I love the widget is able to pre-generate thumbnails with a single click. Also the [link on github](https://github.com/fabianmichael/kirby-imagekit#license) to buy a license is broken! ---

Nice plugin – Thank you, Fabian. It always bothered me that Kirby’s own thumbnail-function creates new pictures only “after” an inital page-load. This results in an unavoidable delay and it can become a repetitive task, if many new pages are created at once and then need to be visited individually. The plugin’s panel-widget seems to provide an easy one-click-solution instead. And the optional server-side image-optimization is a nice addition too. I’ve not tested it yet, but just bought a license anyway. If I am lucky enough to win another license, it will be used for some ocassional charity thingy. And I found no broken links today. ---

I am trying this plugin on a local site having in mind a mobile-first site goal. it should be a must have (and buy a license for the production site as soon as it will be ready, if not lucky) ---

I’m currently involved in the redesign of a historical NPO. There will be images and documents that are held in the archives. ImageKit would be a nice addition (: ---

The thumbnail generation is the big feature for me. I have a Kirby site that posts photo booth photos and loading the pages for the first time takes forever. This would be great. ---

There are three features I am interested in: - automating thumbnail generation - running it on my own server (I like to stay independent) - also interested in the responsive images add-on when it comes out ---
