Twicpics

TwicPics is a Responsive Media Service Solution (SaaS) that enables on-demand responsive image & video generation.
With TwicPics, developers only deal with high-resolution versions of their media while end-users receive optimized, perfectly sized, device-adapted versions delivered from a server close to them.
TwicPics acts as an proxy. It retrieves your master file — from your own web server, cloud storage, or DAM — and generates a device-adapted version with best-in-class compression, delivered directly to the end-user from the closest delivery point available.

Why this module?

This module allows a site builder to easily connect their Drupal site to the TwicPics solution which offers on-demand responsive image generation.
This service is combined with a smart and quiet JavaScript library, all powered by an intuitive, testable URL-based API.
Developers and contributors only deal with high-resolution versions of their media while end-users receive optimized, perfectly sized, device-adapted versions delivered from a server close to them.

Simplifying your media management

This module frees your team from the constraints of managing media on a site today.
It allows your team to focus on their contribution work and not have to deal with multi-size, multi-format, multi-resolution, and many other issues.
The main attraction of TwicPics is the ability to deliver perfectly sized media for all devices and connections, in real-time.
It is backed by a global CDN that allows for faster loading of media through a distributed cache.
All of this makes it possible to reduce the size of your files by up to 75%, without loss of quality, which makes it possible to integrate it into an eco-design approach.
