Working with Thumbnails

Pimcore provides a thumbnail processing engine that calculates optimized output variants from source assets. For different output channels, Pimcore can generate images with the right dimensions, file sizes, formats, and quality settings from a single source file.

Allowed Formats​

Pimcore allows the following formats for thumbnails out of the box: 'avif', 'eps', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'pjpeg', 'png', 'svg', 'tiff', 'webm', 'webp', 'print'.

To add a different format, extend the list in your configuration. Note that you must include the complete list of formats when overriding:

                - 'avif'

                - 'gif'
                - 'jpeg'
                - 'jpg'
                - 'pjpeg'
                - 'png'
