On the Fly Generator (Beta)
Would you like to generate customized derivatives on demand and use them in your external systems? With the On the Fly (OTF) Generator you can request a customized derivative by adding parameters to OTF derivative URL.
By using OTF derivatives that are optimized for the platform and/or device your users are working on you can ensure that they have the best user experience possible.
The On the Fly Generator is fully integrated into your Bynder Dam making sure you don't need to rely on external systems for OTF generation. Find out below how you can start integrating OTF derivatives into your external websites, social media platforms and email newsletters.
How to Enable the On the Fly Generator?
Inform your Customer Success Manager that you would like to participate in the Beta program. Your Customer Success Manager will be happy to further assist you in setting this up.
How to Create On the Fly (OTF) Derivatives?
You can create OTF derivatives by adding parameters to the OTF derivative URL.
Open the asset for which you want to create an OTF derivative.
Copy the OTF derivative URL in the Link to public files section. This URL functions as the base URL to which you'll add your transformations.
Create your customized OTF derivative by adding one of the transformations indicated in the table below directly behind the OTF derivative URL.
Resize Transformations
Transformation | Description | Parameters |
Resize | Use this transformation to set the exact width and height of the OTF derivative. This operation will change the aspect ratio if the original image has a different aspect ratio. |
|
Resize with defined output file type | Use this transformation to set the width, height and file type for the OTF derivative. This operation will change the aspect ratio if the original image has a different aspect ratio. Valid output types: png, jpeg & webp |
|
Resize by width | Use this transformation to set the width of the OTF derivative. The height will be set automatically respecting the aspect ratio of the original image. |
|
Resize by height | Use this transformation to set the height of the OTF derivative. The width will be set automatically respecting the aspect ratio of the original image. |
|
Resize by height and set aspect ratio | Use this transformation to set the height of the OTF derivative and a custom aspect ratio. The width will be set automatically respecting the custom aspect ratio. If the custom aspect ratio differs from the aspect ratio of the original image the OTF derivative will be distorted. |
|
Resize while maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a maximum width or height. The smallest value will be used. The other dimension will be set automatically respecting the aspect ratio of the original image. |
|
Manual resize with new aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a maximum width or height and to set a custom aspect ratio. The value of the smallest dimension will be used for resizing. The other dimension will be set automatically respecting the custom aspect ratio. If the custom aspect ratio differs from the aspect ratio of the original image the OTF derivative will be distorted. |
|
Resize extending the canvas with a solid colour | Use this transformation to resize the image to the specified width and height as well as to fill the canvas with a solid colour Supported colors: red, green, blue, yellow, white, black |
|
Resize + Crop Transformations
Transformation | Description | Parameters | |
Crop from the center | Use this transformation to crop an area of x by y pixels from the center of the image. |
| |
Crop from an x and y coordinate | Use this transformation to crop an area of x by y pixels starting from a specified position using x and y coordinates. The coordinates of the top left corner of the image are x=0 & y=0 |
| |
Crop from a focal point | Use this transformation to crop an area of x by y pixels starting from the focal point. The focal point is defined in the asset detail view and uses the x and y coordinates. In the example the x=50 and y=40 |
| |
Resize and crop maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended width and height will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image. |
| |
Resize and crop bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop top and bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the top and bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop top maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the top of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop right maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the right side of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop right and bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the right and bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop right, left and bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the right, left and bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop left and bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the left and bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop top, bottom and right side maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the top, bottom and right of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop right, left, top and bottom maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the right, left, top and bottom of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop top, bottom and left maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the top, bottom and left of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
| |
Resize and crop top and right maintaining aspect ratio | Use this transformation to resize the OTF derivative to a specified width and height. Any extended space at the top and right of the image will be cropped in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image.  |
