# Presets
Cloudimage Presets are reusable templates of assets transformations that you can apply to any image or video for consistent results with a single click.
If you wish to apply the same transformations on many assets, you can define Presets (p) and apply transformations only using the Preset name (X).
**p=X**
All [Image operations](/transformations/image-operations.md) and [Image filters](/transformations/image-filters.md) can be included in a Preset, as well as [Image watermarking](/transformations/image-watermarking.md) and [Image compression](/transformations/image-compression.md) parameters.
You can find all your Presets in the admin panel, *Settings / Image Settings* / *Presets*.
### Defining new Presets
#### ...using the Asset Variation Builder
Most of the on-the-fly image transformations can be configured using the [Asset Variation Builder](/transformations/asset-variation-builder.md), an in-line URL builder to preview each image transformation instantly.
Imagine you’re preparing images for an e-commerce product page. With the Asset Variation Builder, you can:
1. **Open the image** from the *Preset Settings* page.
2. **Apply transformations**:
* Crop to a square ratio (1:1) for consistency across product listings
* Automatically center the crop on the model face
* Define webp as the best forced format
3. **Preview in real time** how the image will look once delivered.
4. **Save as a Preset** called *“E-commerce Hero”*.
Now, every product photo uploaded to Cloudimage can instantly use this Preset, ensuring all visuals share the same style, quality, and format — without manual edits or developer input.
Presets can be previewed in the Cloudimage Asset Library in *Asset Details / Variations*
#### ...using the documentation
{% hint style="info" %}
Visit the **Transformations** section of our documentation to discover all the available transformations you can use in Presets.
{% endhint %}
| Preset name | Operations and filters | Syntax | Preview |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| gallery\_thumb | **w=250**&**h=250**&**gray=1** | [/samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?**p=gallery\_thumb**](https://doc.cloudimg.io/https://samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?p=gallery_thumb) |  |
| gallery\_medium | **w=450**&**h=300**&**radius=10**&**force\_format=jpeg**&**q=85** | [/samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?**p=gallery\_thumb**](https://doc.cloudimg.io/https://samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?p=gallery_thumb) |  |
| gallery\_large | **w=1200**&**force\_format=jpeg**&**optipress=2**&**wat=1**&**wat\_gravity=northwest**&**wat\_scale=60**&**wat\_pad=20**&**wat\_opacity=0.4** | [/samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?**p=gallery\_large**](https://doc.cloudimg.io/https://samples.scaleflex.com/birds.jpg?p=gallery_large) |  |
You can use additional operations together with a preset. Here is an example:
| Preset name | Operations and filters | Syntax | Preview |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| red\_ref\_number | **w=400**&**h=200**&**wat=1**&**wat\_gravity=northeast**&**wat\_pad=10**&**wat\_font=Arial-Black**&**wat\_fontsize=18**&**wat\_colour=660000** | [/samples.scaleflex.com/flat1.jpg?**p=red\_ref\_number**&**wat\_text=label1**](https://doc.cloudimg.io/https://samples.scaleflex.com/flat1.jpg?p=red_ref_number\&wat_text=label1) |  |
{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that an operation defined in any given preset cannot be overridden in the URL. For example, if a preset named **small\_img** contains **w=200**, using /**original\_image\_url**?**p=small\_img**&**w=400** will still yield a 200-pixel-wide image.
{% endhint %}
