Viesus Wins TIPA World Award 2026 for Best AI B2B Software

Viesus AG received the TIPA World Award 2026 for Best AI B2B Software — the global benchmark for excellence in the imaging industry, selected by editors from leading publications worldwide.

The award recognizes Viesus as the first production-scale infrastructure to win in the AI software category, marking a shift from photographer tools to industrial workflows.

The problem Viesus solves exists everywhere images are handled at scale.

Consumer platforms — from photo print and e-commerce to high-volume image-driven apps like marketplaces and dating platforms — face a shared problem: images arrive already damaged. Photos get compressed by social media, captured under poor conditions, or resized and passed between apps before they ever reach the platform. By the time a user uploads an image, the damage is already done. At scale, this degradation often goes unnoticed on screen — only becoming visible in the final output, whether in print, on large displays, or in high-resolution formats.

In professional workflows — from school and sports photography to real estate, media, and photo services — the problem is different but equally costly: unedited camera exports sit in queues, waiting for manual editing before anything can be published. This introduces hours of delay into every job.

Viesus eliminates both problems. It integrates directly into the workflow and enhances images automatically — before they reach production or publication. It also enhances and upscales images embedded inside PDFs without touching text or layout. No extra steps for customers. No manual review for teams.

"Manual image enhancement doesn't scale. Viesus solves that — automatically, consistently, across any industry, integrated anywhere. TIPA's recognition tells us we're building something that matters.” — Servi Pieters, CEO, Viesus AG

In production, the results are measurable. Platforms using Viesus report 20% higher average order value, 25% higher customer satisfaction, 20% fewer complaints, and 15% fewer reprints. These are outcomes from real deployments.

"It's rewarding to build image enhancement algorithms that improve millions of images every day — and with them, the moments they capture." — Jan Schüssler, Photographer & Software Engineer, Viesus AG
Today, Viesus enhances tens of millions of images daily for some of the world's largest photo printing and consumer imaging platforms.

"We've spent years being the best-kept secret in production imaging, and this award changes that. Any time a customer hands you an image and expects it to look great — that's our moment. The industry is catching up to something our clients already know." — Sofiia Kaminska, Marketing & Sales, Viesus AG

Viesus integrates where work already happens — Fiery JobFlow Pro, Enfocus Switch, Cloudinary, and Zapier — and deploys as a cloud or on-premise solution. On-premise means customer data never leaves your infrastructure. For platforms processing personal photos at scale, that matters.

The official TIPA ceremony takes place October 2–4, 2026 at Imaging World in Nuremberg, Germany.
