Image & Media Optimisation
Convert, Optimise and Integrate Your Images, Videos and Documents.
Picturepark delivers optimised media files easy to integrate from a single source of truth.
Consumers today need to be fully engaged when making product decisions. Picturepark Media Optimisation delivers images, videos and documents in the best available quality across devices and around the globe. Plus: it also massively simplifies the integration and management of these files.
With the Media Optimiser, your files need not leave the one and only single source but can be directly served from there to where required: via embed links that define all conversion parameters and dynamically apply it when the link is called.
Deliver your content blazing fast - all around the clock and all around the globe. Using Fastly CDN, a narrow network of edge location caches your content closer to the consumer and ensures it’s up even when Picturepark is on maintenance.
Don’t just serve files but keep them sorted in an as automated as possible way. Using Picturepark automation, your content will become analysed, tagged and structured according to predefined Business Rules and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Among others, the Picturepark Media Optimiser supports the following features:
Images:
