Our latest release expands Imgix Video with smarter tools for managing, transforming, and creating video content. With auto-generated video previews, watermarking, smart cropping, and image-to-video now generally available, teams can create and deliver high-quality video experiences from the same platform they already trust for images.
Imgix Video runs on the same powerful foundation as your images, giving you a unified workflow for every visual asset. You can manage, edit, and deliver all your media in one place without switching between tools or maintaining separate systems. This release makes it easier to scale both image and video content efficiently across teams while keeping your entire visual media stack consistent, streamlined, and ready for anything.
Smarter Tools for Every Video Workflow
Video Previews
Video previews let you automatically generate short highlight clips from longer videos, giving your audience a quick look without watching the entire file. You can control both the total preview length and the duration of each segment to build teasers that feel intentional and well-paced. For teams managing large content libraries, product listings, or property walkthroughs, this feature helps viewers get an instant sense of what’s inside without extra clicks or load time. By transforming long videos into short, high-impact snippets, teams can make browsing more engaging, keep users on the page longer, and eliminate the need for manual clip editing.
Smart Cropping
Smart cropping automatically identifies the most important part of a video and keeps it in focus when cropping or resizing. Whether you’re creating vertical, square, or widescreen formats, Imgix ensures your subject stays framed perfectly for every channel. This eliminates the tedious manual reframing that usually happens when producing content for multiple platforms. With smart cropping, teams can confidently publish across social, web, and mobile knowing every video looks polished and professional from the first frame.
Image-to-Video
Image-to-video lets you turn existing images into short-form videos that bring motion to your visuals. Whether it’s product shots, property images, or editorial photography, you can now transform stills into dynamic, scroll-stopping content for web pages, listings, or campaigns. It’s a fast, accessible way to repurpose image libraries into new formats that perform better across social and mobile channels. By turning static content into motion, teams can capture attention and drive engagement without needing full-scale video production resources.
Watermarking
Watermarking gives you complete control over how your branding appears in video content. You can easily overlay logos, text, or other brand elements and adjust their size, transparency, and placement to match your visual style. This ensures your assets stay protected and instantly recognizable across all platforms. For creative and marketing teams, it’s an effortless way to maintain brand consistency while protecting ownership, especially when sharing assets externally or across partner sites.
This release brings video workflows in line with how teams already work with images — fast, flexible, and scalable. By unifying video creation, transformation, and delivery into one platform, Imgix eliminates the need for separate tools and gives teams more creative control, consistency, and performance. Whether you’re producing short previews for product listings, generating motion content from images, or scaling branded videos across marketing campaigns, Imgix Video makes every step smarter and more efficient.
