Discover our TwicPics App for Akeneo

TwicPics can generate image and video URLs on the fly for your assets stored in the Akeneo PIM in a SaaS-compliant way whenever you have this requirement.

Thanks to our App for Akeneo, you can deliver perfectly optimized images and videos directly from the Akeneo PIM to improve your websites' performance and offer an optimal experience to every user.

Meet our partner Akeneo

Akeneo is a global leader in PXM and Product Activation, helping organizations deliver consistent and compelling product experiences across all channels, including eCommerce, mobile, print, points of sale, and beyond. With its open platform, leading PIM, add-ons, connectors, and marketplace, Akeneo Product Cloud dramatically improves product data quality and accuracy, simplifies catalog management, and accelerates the sharing of product information across owned and unowned channels and locales.

Why should you use TwicPics to deliver your media stored in the Akeneo PIM?

Websites are heavier than ever, and the main culprits are images and videos. They eat up network bandwidth and increase visitors' time waiting for pages to load. Because every passing tenth of a second reduces the overall conversion rate of your website, it dramatically impacts your brand's reputation and revenue online.

That is where TwicPics comes in.

TwicPics is a real-time media processing service that enables individuals and businesses of all sizes to deliver rich and optimized visual content.

Use TwicPics to optimize your images and videos in order to:

  • increase page speed and visual quality (UX)
  • reduce your web/mobile sites' carbon footprint
  • improve your business KPIs such as SEO, bounce rate, and conversion rate
  • simplify your media delivery workflow: deliver your media from the PIM directly to your website

TwicPics automatically resizes your assets, reduces their file size with adaptive compression, and applies the Next-Gen format to boost your website performance.

Quickly access all features with the easy installation and setup of TwicPics through the App.

It offers on-demand responsive image generation and a well-thought-out and unobtrusive JavaScript library, all based around a URL-based API.

You can define your PIM as the source of your assets in no time using the TwicPics App.

With TwicPics, you only need the original image or video from your PIM, and the end-users will never see it: instead, our service delivers real-time optimized, perfectly sized, and device-adapted media from a location close to them through a worldwide CDN.
