Automated image resizing

What is Automated image resizing?

Adhese uses the AWS Lambda image-resizing service to automatically reduce the dimensions and file size of images uploaded as part of a creative. This allows you to request multiple versions of the image. 

The image resizing feature is a custom feature that requires setup and integration. Please contact Support if you would like to use it.

As the image resizer uses an external service, enabling this feature may incur additional costs depending on your licensing agreement with Adhese. Please contact us if you are unsure.

Why use image resizing?

Using resized images improves responsive design and reduces bandwidth usage. Setting a viewport threshold ensures that smaller images are served to smaller displays, thereby reducing file sizes and bandwidth consumption. This is particularly beneficial for mobile-based implementations.

How to use image resizing?

By adding an extra parameter .width.{px} to the image URL, you can request a resized version with a specific width. The height will scale automatically to maintain the aspect ratio.

The logic to add the extra 'width' value could be added to an Advar template in Adhese itself or to the code that processes the ad markup client-side.
