What are CDN links?
CDN links are URLs that allow you to use and share your Frontify assets outside the platform. They ensure your brand assets can be delivered quickly and reliably across websites, applications, and integrations.
There are two types of CDN links in Frontify:
Static CDN links
Always point to a specific revision of an asset. Even if the asset is updated in Frontify, the static link continues to deliver the original version.
Do not expire. They remain valid indefinitely, even if the asset is later deleted in Frontify.
Best for: cases where you need a fixed, unchanging version of an asset, such as compliance, archiving, or references in legal documents.
Dynamic CDN links
Always point to the latest revision of an asset. If you update the asset in Frontify, every place where the dynamic link is used will automatically deliver the new version.
Simplifies updates. No need to manually update URLs when assets change.
Best for: websites, applications, and integrations where you want to guarantee brand consistency and ensure that only the latest approved assets are displayed.
Media processing API
Both static and Dynamic CDN links work seamlessly with the Media Processing API. You can apply transformations like resizing, cropping, or format optimization directly through the link.
Where to find CDN links
From the UI: Copy the link from the Share modal of any asset.
From the API:
previewURL → Static CDN link.
dynamicPreviewURL → Dynamic CDN link.
