Imagga is a Sofia-based computer-vision company that sells image-understanding as an API: automatic tagging, categorization, adult-content moderation, face detection, color extraction, visual similarity, and custom-trained classifiers for domain-specific use cases. The product is used by stock-photo platforms, digital asset management vendors, e-commerce catalogs, and moderation teams that need to understand millions of images without staffing a full ML team internally.
Founded in 2008 by Georgi Kadrev and Chris Georgiev, Imagga is one of the oldest continuously operating computer-vision API providers in Europe — predating most of the current AI wave — and has been used in millions of production deployments. Today it competes with Google Vision, AWS Rekognition, and Clarifai from a Sofia engineering base, and continues to specialize in on-premise and private-cloud deployments that US hyperscaler APIs cannot match.
