Can I customize the download sizes for my asset?

Adding image download sizes.

Updated this week

Yes, you can define custom download sizes in Frontify by adding predefined size options that will appear for users when downloading assets from your libraries.

Adding custom download sizes

  1. Go to the backend of your Media Library

  2. Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner and select "Usage"

  3. Scroll down to the "Add Download Image Size" section

  4. Enter a name for your custom size and specify the width in pixels

  5. Choose the method:

    • Fit: Maintains the aspect ratio while scaling down to fit the desired dimensions

    • Crop: Crops the image around its focal point to achieve the exact dimensions (requires both width and height)

Standard sizes ( small, medium, large) are available by default in some libraries (e.g. Media and Icon Library).


4. Click "Add" to name the new custom download size and define it in pixels.

Important Limitations:

  • The maximum download size available is the original image size

  • By default, the aspect ratio will remain the same as the original image

  • For images uploaded as TIFF, resized downloads will always be in PNG format

5. Click Confirm. The custom download size is now available for all assets in the Library with the original size larger than the defined custom download size.

Custom download sizes in the consumer view

Once you’ve predefined various export sizes, your brand consumers can simply export assets in the right format by choosing the respective download size. Upon download they can also convert the file into a different file extension, for example AVIF, HEIF, JPEG, PNG and WebP. More information can be found in the help article about Asset transformations.
