Picturepark: A heritage of precision and innovation
Now proudly part of the Fotoware Group.
For over two decades, Picturepark has stood for more than just software.
Rooted in Switzerland and guided by principles of precision and structure, Picturepark has helped organizations around the world manage their content with control and confidence.
Now part of the Fotoware Group, Picturepark’s legacy lives on through powerful, scalable solutions that continue to shape the future of structured content management.
A Swiss approach to content management
From the beginning, Picturepark was built on values that remain as relevant today as ever:
✔️ Structured content, by design. Information should be organized, contextual, and reusable – never buried in folders or silos.
✔️ API-first flexibility. Picturepark championed modern, modular architectures long before it became industry standard.
✔️ Sustainable innovation. We built for longevity, not just for trends – releasing forward-looking platforms like the Picturepark Content Platform in 2019.
With these principles at its core, Picturepark became one of the earliest innovators in cloud-based digital asset management (DAM), launching its first browser-accessible DAM as early as 1998.
A long history of firsts
From its early days offering online file transfer services (pre-dating Dropbox by four years) to the release of an API-first, structured content platform, Picturepark consistently pushed the boundaries of what content systems could do.
Here are just a few milestones:
- 1998: Launch of the world’s first cloud-based DAM
- 2019: Release of the Picturepark Content Platform – built for automation and commerce
- 2022: Picturepark joins the Fotoware Group
- 2025: The platform is renamed Fotoware Alto, aligning with a broader portfolio strategy while maintaining its structured content DNA
Swiss-made - global impact
Picturepark wasn’t just made in Switzerland – it was Swiss-Made. Precision, quality, and thoughtful design were embedded into every release.
That philosophy continues within the Fotoware Group, where the Picturepark team now plays a key role in shaping product strategy and delivering enterprise-ready solutions for structured content.
From new offices in Baden, our Swiss team continues to serve customers across Central Europe and beyond – now with the added strength and scale of the Fotoware brand.
What's next?
The former Picturepark Content Platform now lives on as Fotoware Alto – a core part of the Fotoware product portfolio, offering powerful capabilities for structured metadata, automation, and multi-source content management.
