The powerful key to delivering all of your images fast and cost-effective.

A normal e-commerce website needs to provide each product picture in different sizes and variations: a scaled version for the product overview, several thumbnails, a full high-resolution detail view for the product page, a modified version marked with a sale tag, a different color, etc. Depending on the number of products displayed on the website, this can lead to thousands of images which need to be stored and made manually.

Using FSI Server with our Dynamic Single Source Imaging technology (SSI) you only have to provide one high-resolution source image for each image used on a website. FSI Server dynamically generates images in different formats, dimensions and qualities on-the-fly. Due to the software architecture, FSI Server uses the available processing power most optimized, resulting in very fast and speedy image delivery.

What does Single Source Imaging mean?

With using Single Source Imaging you only have to provide a single high-resolution source image for each image used on a website. The Imaging Server dynamically generates all required image resolutions and image sections based on the source image – simply by changing the URL! You can use the convenient web interface to adjust the image to your liking and then just need to implement the image URL into your website. You can change the height, width, format and quality just by changing the part in the image url or add effects and perform corpping by adding the commands to the URL – the image is instantly changed, dynamically and on the fly!
