Learning objectives

• Understand the purpose and use cases of Image Resizer.
• Create and configure a transformation profile.
• Use transformation profiles in the PIM interface and via the API.

---

Overview

Image Resizer is an optional feature of Quable PIM, available by subscription. This feature allows to generate variations of image-type assets in different formats, sizes, or proportions.

These variations are useful for:

• Adapting visuals to the requirements of distribution channels (e-commerce site, marketplaces, print, etc.),
• Saving time by avoiding editing in another dedicated software,
• Ensuring visual consistency across all media.

👍

Good to know

• Image Resizer is a paid feature.
• To activate this feature, contact your CSM (Customer Success Manager).
• Creating a new profile may generate additional costs if the quota is exceeded.

---

Accessing Image Resizer settings

From the Quable PIM interface:

• Go to the administration console, then navigate to Integration > Image Resizer.

• The list shows the profiles already created.
• The Create a new transformation profile button is located in the top right corner of the interface.

---

Creating a new profile

A transformation profile corresponds to a specific image format (e.g. 600x600 thumbnail, HD e-commerce, WebP preview, etc.).

• Click Create a new transformation profile.
• Fill in the following three sections of the form:

1. Profile identity

At this stage, a CDN preview URL is automatically generated for you.

2. Transformations

Choose one transformation type suited to your needs:

Example: A 4000x3000px image with a 600x600 transformation may be cropped, resized, or framed depending on the selected method.

3. Format

Define the output format:

• JPEG: Good quality/weight compromise
• WebP: Format optimized for the web
• PNG: Ideal for visuals with transparent backgrounds

Using profiles in Quable

Once created, profiles are available:

• In the DAM: when downloading an asset, you can choose between the original file and a resized version via an image resizer profile,

• In the asset sheet: when downloading an asset, you can choose between the original file and a resized version via an image resizer profile,

• In advanced search: during quick asset exports, additional options appear to define the export. You can choose between the original file and a resized version via an image resizer profile,

• Via the API: by calling the URL containing the profile code
  Use API v5 and the /api/assets endpoint
  In the response, the thumbnail attribute contains the links to the resized images.

📘

Good to know

Two standard profiles are available by default, even when no image resizer profile is created:

• original (untransformed image)
• 600x600 (thumbnail profile)

Best practices

• Clearly name profiles (e.g. web-small, print-a4) to make them easier to identify.
• Create one profile per distribution channel: web, print, marketplace, etc.
• Limit the number of profiles to avoid management complexity or exceeding contractual thresholds.
• Test the results via the CDN URL before final distribution.
