Contentful Images

Verified Jul 2026

Contentful Images resizes, crops, and reformats any asset served from images.ctfassets.net via query parameters — fit modes (pad, fill, crop, thumb), a focus area (face, faces, top, ...), rounded corners, background fill, and quality — and can convert output to JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, or TIFF on the fly, e.g. ?fm=webp&w=300&fit=fill&f=face. It isn't priced separately: image delivery draws from the parent Contentful plan's CDN bandwidth allowance, starting at 50GB/month on the free tier, so access requires a Contentful space and a Content Delivery API token to resolve asset URLs in the first place.
