Image renditions
You can set image renditions (based on size, crop, and format) to automatically generate variations of images that you upload to the library. Image renditions provide access to images for your most common use cases and eliminate time-consuming manual edits.
When you view an asset in the library, you can view linked related assets.
Set image renditions
- Go to your avatar > Asset Management.
- In the Renditions section, click Add. The Add Rendition dialog box displays.
- To keep the original image size, toggle off Resize/Crop. Toggle on Resize/Crop to convert file formats and select the resample filter.
- Select your specifications and click Save. You can view renditions in the following places:
- The Library view displays renditions on your assets. Select an image to see the asset attributes. You can also view image renditions from the asset picker in a task.
- In Related Assets, when you are editing an image.
Keep aspect ratio
You can keep the image's aspect ratio based on the number of pixels you specify, as shown in the following examples.
Width 1000 pixels

Resize/Crop
You can set the width and height to resize and crop the image.

Automatic smart focal point
Enable Smart Focal Point to use AI to detect an image's subject automatically. This option centers the crop around what it detects as the image's important part. Crops that do not use Smart Focal Point use the center of the image.
Manual smart focal point
You can specify where you want the focal point to be in an image.
- From the asset's options menu (...), select Adjust Focal Point.
- Move the focal point (purple circle) to the preferred position and click Save.
Note
When choosing a focal point, crop renditions use the new one.
- Select the asset in the library and open Related Assets to view the image rendition.
The 700px X 700px image rendition shows the focal point in the center.
Resize to fit
You can set the container height and width to keep the image aspect ratio of the original image by adding white padding to fill the container size.
The following image shows how Resize to Fit works with a Width of 1080 and Height of 1080
Image formats
You can automatically convert image files to a specified format. Conversion options include:
- Keep original – Retains the original file's format.
- JPG – You can also set a quality level to help you reduce the file size of the resulting image. (You should specify 80% or above.)
- PNG
- WEBP
TIFF files support rendition generation. You can generate JPG and PNG renditions from TIFF source assets.
Resampling
You can also choose which resampling filter you'd like to use for your resulting image. You should accept the default, but you can select the following filters:
- Bilinear
- Bicubic
- Nearest-Neighbor
These settings combine to create one pre-set.
View renditions
Click an asset in the library and open Related Assets to view variations of your image.
Use renditions
You can do the following with an image rendition:
- Click Download (icon) to download it to your desktop.
- Open a preview and click Create Task from the image.
- Select an image rendition from the Asset Picker or Optimizely Content Management System (CMS 12) from a task.
Override latest version
When a user adds a new version of an asset to the Library, you can set CMP to overwrite existing renditions with renditions of the latest asset version. If the URL to a rendition is used elsewhere, the URL remains the same and automatically updates to the new rendition.
To configure this option, click the drop-down list beside your icon and click Asset Management. Under Renditions, select Overrides Latest Version.
You can turn off this feature by deselecting the checkbox.
