Kraken.io Image Optimizer vs. Akamai Image and Video Manager

The majority of today's static web traffic is made up of images. While many tools exist for preparing images for the web, such as Photoshop's Save For Web tool and a plethora of other existing resizing and compression techniques, most tools have major shortcomings - such as being restricted to just one format (such as GIF, PNG or JPEG). Many tools will simply force an image down to a particular quality level such as a quality setting of 70 for JPEG images, regardless of what the results look like.

Image Manager introduces a simple way to automate your image creation workflow and intelligently optimize and deliver the best image every time. Lighter pages, simplified operations, and less derivative images helps you drive higher revenue and engagement, reduce costs, and gain an advantage in mobile and responsive web design strategies. Improve customer experiences by automatically optimizing web images for both maximum visual quality and performance while reducing the cost and effort to transform images for faster time to market.
