The prank could actually turn out to be a really cool new DAM  customization feature \u2013 but only if you give it your thumbs up!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudinary.com\">Cloudinary<\/a>\u2019s customers woke up this April 1 to find that all the image and video thumbnails in their Digital Asset Management (DAM) Media Library had been totally <em>pixelated<\/em>, giving new meaning to the term megapixel\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,dpr_2,q_auto,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/pixelated_ML.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,dpr_2,q_auto,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/pixelated_ML.png\" alt=\"Pixelated images and videos in the Media Library\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-transformed-asset\"  width=\"650\" height=\"439.5\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It turns out that pixels across the globe felt they were underappreciated and that it was time to stand up and make the world take notice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people know that the photos and videos in their social media and favorite websites are made up of pixels, but they are so focused on the big picture that we individual pixels are almost never recognized for our role,\u201d says Dottie Kyube, the rebellion leader.<\/p>\n<p>She added that she and her fellow rebels chose the Cloudinary DAM as their protest site because they\u2019d heard that Cloudinary has thousands of customers who store millions of images and videos there. They knew this act in all Cloudinary Media Libraries this would make a significant impact world-wide.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Dottie and her gang knew they could rely on Cloudinary to understand their plight. In fact, we spotted Jon Sneyers, Senior Image Researcher at Cloudinary, crossing the pixel line to stand by Dottie:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always known the value of a pixel\u201d, says Jon. While most people are fond of saying that pictures are worth a thousand words, Mr. Sneyers published a blog post declaring that <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudinary.com\/blog\/one_pixel_is_worth_three_thousand_words\">one pixel is worth three thousand words<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The pixels were seen cheering Jon on as he pressed one of his magic <strong>_auto<\/strong> buttons (and he has many\u2026) and caused them to happily march back where they belonged.<\/p>\n<p>While most customers breathed a sigh of relief at seeing all their thumbnails go back to normal, one observer claimed to have seen a few members of the Cloudinary DAM development team sneaking off the scene, chuckling to themselves, \u201cThat was one DAM pixel-perfect prank!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Serious<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, we really pulled this prank on all our Cloudinary customers today. Of course, each user was able to turn off this April Fools side effect with the click of a button.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, besides playing a cute joke, why\u2019d we do it? Because we can. Because all it took for us to automatically pixelate every picture in every Media Library was to apply a simple <code>e_pixelate<\/code> transformation across the board.<\/p>\n<p>Now while that particular transformation doesn\u2019t exactly facilitate your digital asset management work, what if Cloudinary were to let admins define their own custom card transformation for their account?<\/p>\n<p>Today (well, every day other than April 1), Cloudinary generates all the asset \u2018cards\u2019 in its Media Library by applying a transformation that resizes every image or video poster image to a fixed maximum width and height. Where needed, Cloudinary also pads any remaining space within each card by automatically selecting the predominant color from that image.<\/p>\n<p>For example, below you can see how a square image of a koala would be displayed as a padded thumbnail card in the Cloudinary Media Library:<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<span style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_300\/koala_square.jpg\" target =\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_300\/koala_square.jpg\" alt=\"sample square image\" width=300 title=\"sample square image\" style=\"margin-right: 40px;display:block;\" \/><\/a>\n<\/span>\n<span style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle; margin-top: 10px\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_235\/docs\/april-fools\/koala_square_thumbnail.png\" target =\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_235\/docs\/april-fools\/koala_square_thumbnail.png\" width=235 alt=\"thumbnail with predominant color padding\" title=\"thumbnail with predominant color padding\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;display:block;\" \/><\/a>\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px\">\n<\/div>\n<p>We accomplish this with the transformation:  <code>w_235,h_158,c_pad,b_auto:predominant <\/code><\/p>\n<p>[Psst &#8211; Did ya catch that we use another of those <strong>_auto<\/strong> \u2018magic buttons\u2019 to do that? \ud83d\ude09]<\/p>\n<p>We think this transformation looks quite nice, but that\u2019s just our opinion. You could potentially present your thumbnails in other ways if we were to allow you to customize that transformation.<\/p>\n<h3>A Few Ideas\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>Wondering what you could do with such uncurbed freedom?  Below are a few possibilities:<\/p>\n<h4>Consistent Background Color<\/h4>\n<p>Suppose you have an e-commerce site, and currently all products are shown in your online store with a grey background. You might also want all your product images in Cloudinary to be displayed the same way.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of our standard colorful presentation (<code>w_235,h_158,c_pad,b_auto:predominant<\/code>):<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_predominant.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_predominant.png\" alt=\"Default predominant color padding in the Media Library\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-transformed-asset\"  width=\"650\" height=\"171\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d have this consistent view (<code>w_235,h_158,c_pad,b_auto:grey<\/code>):<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_grey.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_grey.png\" alt=\"Consistent grey padding in the Media Library\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-transformed-asset\"  width=\"650\" height=\"171\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you ever changed the background standards in your online store in the future, you could do the same in your Cloudinary DAM in seconds.<\/p>\n<h4>Auto-Gravity Fill Cropping<\/h4>\n<p>Both of the above transformations display images using the <code>pad<\/code> mode of cropping, which scales each asset down to show the entire thing. Perhaps you\u2019d prefer that each thumbnail fill the entire area of the card and focus in on the main item there.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, you\u2019d use the <code>fill<\/code> mode of cropping, which also scales down (or up), but only until the larger of the two dimensions is completely filled, and then it crops off any excess on the shorter side. You could take advantage of Cloudinary\u2019s <code>g_auto<\/code> gravity to ensure that the most prominent element in the photo is kept when the other parts are cropped out.<\/p>\n<p>Using a custom <code>w_470,h_316,c_fill,g_auto<\/code> thumbnail transformation, you\u2019d get:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_fill.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_fill.png\" alt=\"Fill cropping with g_auto in the Media Library\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-transformed-asset\"  width=\"650\" height=\"171\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Conditional Overlays<\/h4>\n<p>If you really want to get fancy, a feature offering custom thumbnail transformations would enable you to define different transformations for different conditions. You could set completely different behaviors for portrait vs landscape images. Or you could define different transformations conditioned on the existence or absence of a particular tag on the assets.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could set your thumbnails to add a <strong>Sale<\/strong> icon for any product that is currently tagged in your DAM system as \u2018on-sale\u2019. The following transformation does just that:<\/p>\n<p><code>w_470,h_316,c_pad,b_grey\/if_!on-sale!_in_tags,l_sale2,g_north_east,w_120,a_-30<\/code><\/p>\n<p>It will apply the grey pad cropping for all images, but if the \u2018on-sale\u2019 tag is included in an asset\u2019s tags, it will also overlay the \u2018sale2\u2019 icon on it. It will be placed in the north-east corner, resized to a width of 120px, and rotated counterclockwise 30 degrees.  If the \u2018on-sale\u2019 tag isn\u2019t there, the icon won\u2019t be added.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what those same 4 assets would look like if 2 of the 4 were tagged with \u2018on-sale\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_sale.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/demo\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_2,w_650\/docs\/april-fools\/products_sale.png\" alt=\"Conditional transformation thumbnails Media Library\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-transformed-asset\"  width=\"650\" height=\"171\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Like What You\u2019re Seeing?<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve got a lot on our DAM plate for the coming year.
