ImageKit, the unified platform for media processing and Digital Asset Management (DAM), announced integration with Rclone to simplify and mitigate the risks associated with bulk media migrations. Moving millions of files from one storage system to another is often slow, error-prone, and disruptive. With Rclone’s proven command-line tooling, businesses can now move or synchronize vast libraries of images and videos into ImageKit from over 70 supported storage platforms, all while preserving data integrity and minimizing downtime.
Beyond speed, the integration gives teams greater control over how migrations are executed. Features such as parallel transfers, integrity checks, dry-run simulations, bandwidth throttling, and resumable operations ensure that migrations can be planned, tested, and executed in phases, reducing risk and making the process predictable, even for massive media libraries.
Key benefits for media-heavy businesses
Faster large-scale migrations: Parallel and resumable transfers shorten migration windows for catalogs containing tens of thousands or even millions of assets.
Connect with multiple storage: Supports transfers across more than 70 storage platforms, including Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and Azure Blob, giving businesses full flexibility to move data seamlessly in or out of ImageKit as required.
Data integrity guaranteed: Built-in checks ensure every file is copied correctly by comparing both file size and cryptographic hashes such as MD5 or SHA1.

Automation-ready: Rclone’s command-line interface allows teams to script and schedule transfers in CI/CD pipelines or cron jobs, enabling staged migrations, hybrid deployments, and ongoing backfills.
Reduced migration risk: Dry-run mode and granular path filters let businesses test migrations safely, migrate in phases, and transition gradually with confidence.
“Businesses want the benefits of ImageKit DAM, including AI-powered media management that makes assets easy to find, structured metadata that keeps libraries organized, seamless collaboration across teams, and smooth integration into everyday tools such as Photoshop, PIMs, and CMS platforms, without the risks of a complete switchover migration. By embracing Rclone, we are meeting teams where they are and making data movement predictable, verifiable, and reversible,” said Manu Chaudhary, Co-founder and CTO, ImageKit.
