Why PIXBOOST

Pixboost is a cloud service which is designated to optimise raster images (e.g. *.jpg, *.png, etc) for file size reduction and decreased load times. Once an image has been optimised, its file is cached on Google’s CDN (Content Delivery Network), increasing the speed at which images can be retrieved on subsequent requests.

The service can also be used to resize and crop images, which makes generating responsive images that respect the device and screen size on which they are being displayed simple to achieve. Using the service requires modifications to the image URL.

Pixboost image manipulation service sources are accessible for public on github. We believe that open source is the most efficient model of software development. Also, it allows our customers to deploy service into their own data centres. We are always happy to provide consulting services to customize solution for your needs.
