Media
Managing photos, images and videos in today’s mobile apps is time-consuming and thankless. Onymos Media is the toolkit to make it easy.
Media management made simple
The camera took the picture, now what? Media from Onymos gives you powerful tools for managing images or video, including the ability to store, index and retrieve the files from storage.
Compression done right
Onymos Media component offers one of the best compression algorithms in the market for both photos and videos. Quality compromises are kept at the minimum when optimizing file sizes.
Edge cases covered
Onymos Media handles various nuances of different devices, like sub-sampling issues on some older devices where images appear squeezed, have black bands, or where landscape photo/video appears in portrait style or vice-versa.
Server side – included.
Onymos handles all configurations required at any of the top cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP) when you use zero-touch Onymos Hosting. Or just provide access and configuration parameters to use your own cloud provider account!
Consistency across devices
The Onymos Media feature also removes the issues when sharing photos and videos across iOS and Android devices like loss of quality, aspect ratio, and more.
Everything you need for Media
The simplest, fastest way to compress, store and retrieve photos and videos.
Match the look
Front-end configuration via standard HTML/CSS ensures the Media Feature fits seamlessly into your existing project.
Full stack
Unlike plugins or code snippets, each Onymos Feature is full stack, from the user interface to the cloud layer.
No looking back
Onymos supports the Feature at every stage. Updates are as simple as rebuilding with our newest object release.
