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 and Image filters can be included in a Preset, as well as Image watermarking and Image compression 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, 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
