Let's start with an example

Cloudimage supports the chaining of various transformations and filters to edit and deliver your images. You can also overlay watermarks and optimize the compression controlling the image format and quality while taking into account the user browser's supported formats. This helps you achieve the best loading speed for your website or web application.

Cloudimage URL format

//token.cloudimg.io/original_image_url?operations&filters&watermarks

token	Your Cloudimage customer token. Subscribe here to get one. You can also ask us for a custom token.
original_image_url	That's an easy one :)
operations	Image manipulation operations like width, height, crop, fit, rotate, trim. For a full list, see Image operations.

If your Cloudimage account has been created before October 2021, you need to add v7/ to your Cloudimage URL before the origin image. Example: //token.cloudimg.io/v7/original_image_url?operations&filters&watermarks

Cloudimage's resizing servers, located in three data centers worldwide (Canada, France, and Singapore) will download your original image from an origin_image_url, transform it based on 50+ on-the-fly Image operations and Image filters parameters, and finally, display it on your website or mobile app through a rocket fast CDN.

If you host your images on a Web Server, Image Repository, or Storage Bucket sitting behind a Firewall, make sure your images are accessible over HTTP or HTTPS. Otherwise, Cloudimage servers will not be able to download the originals.

Uploading images and videos

Cloudimage is not a media storage service but rather acts as a media proxy downloading the origin (pristine) images and videos from your server or any storage container (S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, ...) and optimizing them on-the-fly.

This page documents Cloudimage's image and video transformations APIs. If you are looking for a solution to upload and manage your media assets in one single source-of-truth, checkout Scaleflex's Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution. Its documentation is available here.

Cloudimage is fully integrated into the Filerobot DAM solution to deliver opitmized assets over CDN.
