Overview

Hygraph enables developers to build content APIs, while providing content editors with tools to manage their content. The hosted content APIs can then be applied to websites, apps, and other digital platforms. Hygraph enables teams to unify their stack and programmatically create, edit, enrich, deliver, and consume content from any frontend or backend service.

The Hygraph-Cloudinary UI Extension allows content editors to natively search, edit and manage digital Cloudinary assets directly from within Hygraph. This is done by adding single or multiple Cloudinary fields in your schema and clicking a button to open the Media Library. From there, you can manage assets, and then select the images and/or videos to insert directly into your site.

With the Hygraph UI Extension installed, you can benefit from these powerful Cloudinary features, made easily accessible:

  • The Cloudinary Media Library as your single source of truth for storing and collaborating on all of your rich media files. You can share media with other users, apply structured metadata values tailored for your organization's media workflow, and take advantage of advanced AI capabilities that enable automatic tagging, face detection, advanced search capabilities, background removal, and more.
  • Cloudinary's media optimizations, which enable media handling at scale including automatic image and video optimization and fast delivery to every user device and delivery channel.

Note
The Safari browser may require additional steps when logging in to the Media Library. If you encounter an issue, follow the prompts to log in separately and attempt to open the Media Library again. Alternatively, use one of the other recommended browsers when working with Cloudinary.
