Every asset on our platform has a shareable Content Delivery Network (CDN) URL that you can use on other platforms (e.g., CMS, PIM) to always display the most up-to-date version.This link also supports Digital Asset Transformation (DAT), enabling adjustments to meet the needs of different platforms—such as specific file formats, resolutions, aspect ratios (crop), maximum file sizes, and backgrounds.Reasons to Use#
Efficiency: You only need to upload the original, high-quality image once in the DAM. The CDN automatically handles all the necessary transformations for every destination, which saves you time and prevents manual errors.
Consistency: The CDN acts as a single source of truth. When you update an image in the DAM, it updates everywhere it's being used, ensuring you never have outdated visuals.
Performance: By using Amazon CloudFront, your content is delivered from servers close to each user, which reduces latency and significantly increases transfer speeds.
Possibilities#
Changes to an asset can be applied by adding parameters to the end of the CDN URL. For example:https://cdn.getmarvia.com/...?format=avif&width=400&height=400&extend=50&background=white
Versions#
While the CDN URL contains the current filename, it will always display the latest version of the asset in the DAM—even if the updated version has a different filename or file type.
