About the Cloudinary app

After installing the Contentful Cloudinary app, you can add Cloudinary assets to content entries directly in the Contentful editor:

Cloudinary - Contentful asset

Editors open the Media Library widget, a compact version of the Cloudinary Media Library, directly inside a Contentful content item to browse and select images and videos from Cloudinary.

Contentful stores the public IDs of the selected media, and developers can use those IDs in client applications to fetch images, videos or metadata from Cloudinary’s API.


Features

Enrich Assets: Set Cloudinary upload presets to automatically enrich assets with metadata, skus, and tags to enable custom search results in Contentful.

Transform Assets: Automate the iteration and reuse of final, approved images and videos for any and every channel and context- increasing the ROI of each asset/

Structure Content: Select “JSON object” in your content model field every time an image or video is needed. This links the field with a custom search in Cloudinary based on tags, SKUs and metadata.

Get Custom Search Results: Receive only relevant, appropriate assets based on metadata, SKUs, and tags when searching in each Cloudinary field in Contentful.

Edit Images & Videos in Context: Without leaving Contentful, crop, resize and add text and graphic overlays to images; easily trim videos to the most relevant segments.
