Tutorial - Creating Named Transformations with Cloudinary's APIs
Named transformations are one of the most useful aspects of Cloudinary’s service, allowing you to take one or more transformations you have created for your images and/or videos and develop a codename for them.
In this tutorial, you'll gain an overview of what transformations and named transformations are used for in Cloudinary's APIs and Programmable Media products. Then you’ll learn how to programmatically create and apply Cloudinary’s named transformations to assets. Finally, you’ll go a step further, optimizing your assets by utilizing Cloudinary’s automatic format (f_auto) and quality (q_auto) features.
