Sirv
Image hosting, on-the-fly processing, 360 spin and CDN delivery with unlimited transformations; master files are stored in the EU.
Unlike TwicPics or ImageKit, which fetch from your own origin, Sirv needs source images stored with it, and in return offers unlimited uploads and transformations. Business plans are sold by storage, from 5 GB with 20 GB transfer at $19/month up to 500 GB with 2,000 GB at $849, and going over gives 30 days to move up a tier rather than a per-GB bill. Uploaded masters stay in EU data centres in Germany and Finland, with CDN copies served globally.

Unlimited uploads and image transformations on every plan. Business is sold in storage tiers, each with a fixed monthly transfer allowance (from sirv.com's pricing script): 5 GB/20 GB transfer $19, 12/48 $39, 20/80 $59, 40/160 $89, 60/240 $119, 100/400 $199, 200/800 $359, 350/1,400 $599, 500/2,000 $849 per month (about 8% less billed yearly, e.g. $209/year for the first tier). Enterprise starts at $999/month from 300 GB. Overage is not billed per GB; you get 30 days to move up a tier, so the tiers are modelled as limits. Source images must be stored in Sirv, so source_k limits assume ~1 MB per stored master (1,000 images = 1 GB). This counts stored images, not new uploads per month. All uploaded master files stay in EU data centres (Germany and Finland); CDN copies are global. DPA on request (sirv.com/data). Sirv Limited is incorporated in the UK.
