Features of the Image Transformation
Get to know the features and limitations of the image transformation in CoreMedia Content Cloud - Service.
CoreMedia Content Cloud - Service customers can benefit from an image transformation based on a shared service that supports the WebP format out-of-the-box. Due to the nature of shared services, it has different features and limitations compared to the built-in image transformation library used in earlier versions and in self-managed installations of the CoreMedia Content Cloud. These differences are described in the following sections.
This information applies to new CoreMedia Content Cloud - Service installations after September 2023.

CoreMedia Studio won’t prevent the editor from uploading bigger pictures and from creating transformations that do not comply to the constraints above. In these cases, the preview will show a broken image. CoreMedia plans to provide the editor with more detailed feedback in the future. |
Continuous Updates
During the lifetime the shared services used for the image transformation will be continuously improved, provided with bugfixes and security updates. As a customer, CoreMedia takes care of these changes for you.
Limited Customizability
The image transformation features are the same for all service customers. They cannot be changed for individual customers in the shared services. Customizations of image delivery in the CAE and the Headless Server are consequently only possible to a certain degree.
Getting Access As An Existing Customer
If you are a CoreMedia Content Cloud - Service customer using the built-in Image Transformation library in the CAE and the Headless Server, contact the CoreMedia support at support@coremediaoncloud.com to learn about the prerequisites that enable you to use the cloud-only image transformation.
