Image hosting built for omnichannel sellers

Reliable, marketplace-compatible image URLs for Rithum, ChannelEngine, Channable, Lengow, Linnworks, Productsup & more

If you sell across multiple marketplaces using an omnichannel integrator, your images are a single point of failure.
One broken link, throttled CDN, or “unsupported format” error can block thousands of listings at once.

Img.vision is image hosting purpose-built for marketplace feeds, it’s not generic web delivery.
We give you permanent, direct image URLs that marketplaces can ingest at scale without errors, rate limits, or surprises.

Works perfectly with omnichannel integrators

Whether your integrator supports its own hosting or only accepts external image URLs, Img.vision fits cleanly into your setup:

  • Rithum: Supports external image URLs (and its own hosting). Use Img.vision for full control and marketplace-safe URLs.
  • ChannelEngine: Requires external image URLs.
  • Channable: Pass image URLs directly to channels without relying on generated or temporary links.
  • Lengow: External image URLs only.
  • Linnworks: Supports image URLs and its own hosting; Img.vision keeps you independent and marketplace-safe.
  • Productsup: Image URLs are mandatory.

👉 Bottom line: if your integrator passes image URLs to marketplaces, Img.vision is a drop-in upgrade.

Why normal CDNs fail with marketplace feeds

Most CDNs are optimized for browsers and not for bulk marketplace ingestion.

Marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, Walmart, and others:

  • Download thousands of images in short bursts
  • Retry aggressively
  • Are extremely strict about headers, redirects, formats, and file extensions

Traditional setups often break because they:

  • Rate-limit or block “bot-like” traffic
  • Auto-convert images to WebP or AVIF
  • Use dynamic URLs that change or expire
  • Serve incorrect Content-Type headers
  • Add redirects marketplaces silently reject

That’s how listings get rejected, or images simply never appear.

Img.vision’s marketplace-first advantage

Permanent, direct image URLs

No signed URLs. No expiring links. No dynamic transformations in the URL.
Once you upload an image, the URL stays valid. This is perfect for CSVs, feeds, and long-running listings.

Marketplace-aware CDN

Our CDN is configured to detect marketplace crawlers and ingestion systems and:

  • Never rate-limit them
  • Never block them
  • Never treat them as abusive traffic

Even during large feed imports or catalog rebuilds.

Marketplace-compatible file handling

Marketplaces are picky & we play by their rules:

  • Correct file extensions
  • Stable formats (no forced unreliable speed-enhancing WebP / AVIF conversions)
  • Proper headers and content types
  • No unexpected redirects

Your images look boring to browsers, and that’s exactly why marketplaces love them.

Store live images and non-live assets

Not every image needs to be public all the time.

With Img.vision you can:

  • Keep live images publicly accessible for marketplaces
  • Store non-live or archived assets safely without exposing them
  • Reactivate images instantly when needed

Perfect for seasonal catalogs, paused sellers, or large enterprise assortments.

Stay independent from your tools

Many integrators, PIMs, DAMs, or webshop platforms offer image hosting, but that comes with lock-in.

With Img.vision:

  • Your image URLs stay the same if you switch tools
  • You’re not tied to one integrator’s hosting rules
  • You control uptime, formats, and long-term availability

Your images remain portable infrastructure, not a hidden dependency.

Built for omnichannel & future-proof

Most multi-marketplace sellers don’t stand still.

Some already run their feeds through tools like Rithum, ChannelEngine, Channable, Lengow, Linnworks, or Productsup.
Others manage marketplaces directly today and introduce an integrator later as volume grows.

In both cases, marketplaces apply the same strict rules when ingesting images: stable URLs, compatible formats, correct headers, and the ability to handle large, repeated downloads without errors.

You can scale from manual workflows to a full omnichannel integrator setup, or switch tools, and your image infrastructure doesn’t become a bottleneck.

One image layer. One set of URLs. Ready for omnichannel at any stage.

Is Img.vision right for your omnichannel stack?

If you:

  • Sell on multiple marketplaces at once
  • Use an omnichannel integrator
  • Upload products via CSV or automated feeds
  • Care about long-term link stability

Then Img.vision is the marketplace-ready image hosting layer your stack is missing.

Start with marketplace-safe image hosting today

Upload your images once. Use the same URLs everywhere. Never worry about feed image errors again.
