This is a bit far from what most would consider REST. Just call it a HTTP api?

Looks cool though! I would love a product that behaves like a proxy/CDN for images and does some on-demand resizing/filtering.

Cloudinary is this exactly. It’s great! https://cloudinary.com/

Backed by Imagemagick. We usually run it behind a CDN like Akamai or Cloudfront but you can also use Apache httpd’s built-in file caching.

There is no true REST API. Just like there is no true Scottsman.
I don't disagree with you, but this one in particular seems very far from the definition even if you ignore all the hypermedia stuff.
