titleDynamic Formats

Dynamic Formats

Dynamic Formats can be defined for images only and are rendered on demand for the selected Content Item in Picturepark and not saved to the storage but only to a cache for the configured retention time. Dynamic formats may be Hero Images, Social Media Images, or Campaign Specials.

The benefits of dynamic rendering

  • Those are customizable by the customer during operation (setup via API)

  • Dynamic formats are cached (retention time configuration), so the downloader does not have to wait for frequently accessed content. 

  • Picturepark does not store them on storage which saves money for the monthly storage subscription price. 

The drawback of dynamic rendering

  • The download of multiple dynamic formats of the same Content Item is possible. 

  • Rendering on request (lazy) may take some time until Picturepark generates the output. Picturepark will notify you when you can access the ready-to-download file.

    You can continue working in Picturepark while waiting for your download to be ready. 

  • Only available to produce images (rasterized files). 

  • Costs performance of rendering microservice.

titleStatic Formats

Static Formats

Static formats are created on customer creation, predefined, and rendered for every Content Item in Picturepark, saved to the storage. The benefits of static formats

  • No waiting times for downloading them. Picturepark creates the format after import and every user can then directly download it.   

  • You can have static formats created for all file types (based on rendering support). 

The drawback of static formats

  • Costs storage, as all formats are rendered and saved on the storage.
