NordicPhotos image agency has released PixPuffin, a cloud-based photo management system for medium sized and small businesses. Web-based, without any need for additional software or servers, it is the first of its kind and specially designed to administer the image library of today’s companies and organizations. The system has been in constant development for over 11 years as the core system overseeing NordicPhotos’ own image library. Based in Iceland, the system is cloud hosted on greenqloud’s 100% renewable energy servers, making PixPuffin the first completely eco-friendly image management solution available.
Between single user solutions and large, very expensive server based media management solutions, the creators of PixPuffin felt that user friendly and affordable image management solutions were somewhat lacking from the market.

Furthermore, they can improve or extend the use of their images, save on image purchase and make their marketing and PR presence better than ever.
