Cloudinary Transformation Rules

When to Use

• Building Cloudinary delivery/transformation URLs
• Converting natural language requests to transformation syntax
• Debugging transformation URLs that aren't working
• Optimizing images or videos with Cloudinary
• Applying effects, overlays, resizing, or cropping

Quick Start

Default Best Practice: Always Optimize

Add f_auto/q_auto to the end of nearly every transformation URL (as final components):

• Automatically delivers optimal format
• Optimizes quality for best balance of visual quality and file size
• Reduces bandwidth and improves performance
