Working with media in Contentful
For most of our users, media files (assets) are an integral part of their Contentful projects. That’s why we’ve made creating, managing and delivering assets simple and flexible. With Contentful, assets can be uploaded manually within our web app or programmatically using our API. That includes images, videos, audio files, .pdfs, and more.
We make working with images easy by giving you a specialized API to manipulate images by simply changing URL parameters. The web app also has a built-in image editor for making more permanent changes. If you use an outside media editor or hosting service, try using a UI Extension to pull your files into our entry editor.
