Playground
To get started right away, just add a class to your image elements and turn their src into a data-src. This is but the very beginning though: TwicPics will give you access to a simple yet powerful API that can adapt to all kind of situations and works hand in hand with native HTML5 Responsive images helpers.
How it works?
TwicPics acts as an image proxy. It requests your master image, stored on your own web server or in a cloud storage like Amazon S3, then generates a device-adapted version of it, encoded using the best compression available, that's delivered directly to the end-user from the closest delivery point available.
Let's take the example of a full width image much alike the header of this very page. A Paris user with an iPhone 6 will fetch a 750px wide 33KB JPEG image from one of our two delivery points in Paris. A brazilian Chrome user on a non-retina MacBook will fetch a 1440px wide 114KB WEBP image from our delivery point in São Paulo or in Rio de Janeiro, whichever is the closest.
Width and size will vary if the iPhone is not in landscape mode or Chrome is not in full screen. TwicPics will even handle changing orientation and resizing browser windows dynamically.
