# Asset Variation Builder

The Asset Variation Builder (AVB) lets you create and preview image transformations directly in the Cloudimage UI — no coding needed. Non-Developers using Cloudimage can easily gain control with instant previews of future image transformations before creating a [preset](/setup/shortening-urls/presets.md).

While building your URL transformations, you can easily spot the active parameters in the different categories thanks to a blue dot: Format, Adjust

Once satisfied, save the transformation as a preset to apply consistent templates across all your images. Every adjustment is shown live in the Asset Library in "Asset Details" / "Variations", so you see the exact output before saving.&#x20;

**Preview image transformations**\
Stop guessing URL parameters: visually build your transformation, preview results in real time, and save as reusable presets. These presets ensure consistency, speed up content workflows, and empower non-technical teams to manage image variants independently.
