Export profiles

You can use the export profiles to convert your original assets into different file types or sizes. Kadanza has two types of conversions available to use:

• Image conversions: This allows you to create another file type, a low-res version, or a file for a specific application like PowerPoint,...
• Cropping conversions: This allows you to create a conversion profile that crops an image, either with a predefined ratio or size, or with a free crop that allows the user to select which part to crop.
  • Keep in mind that cropping conversions will always be a low-resolution file when downloaded. Cropping high-resolution images (300 dpi) will always result in a low resolution version when downloaded (72 dpi)

Both types of export profiles are listed under the same columns that show the following properties of that profile:

• ID: A unique ID for every profile.
• Name: The name of the profile. This is also what users will see in the download dropdown, so try to create a short and clear name
• Source type: Different source types can be entered here, for example, JPG with all variations (jpg, jpeg, jpe, jfif, jif).
• Destination type: The file type the original file will be converted to.
• Status: The current status of the profile (active or inactive)

You can create a low-resolution JPEG optimized for PowerPoint presentations (72dpi, RGB) with a fixed width of 1024 pixels from a high-resolution TIFF, and create high-resolution JPEGs (300dpi, CMYK) from EPS files,...

Creating a new export profile

When you click on the following button, you can create a new export profile. Create a name to get started

In the details page, you can configure the export profile

General: 

• Enable or disable the profile
• Update the name

Conversion type:

• Choose between an image or a cropping conversions

For image conversions:

Source:

• Choosing the type of files that are allowed to be converted to the destination from the drop-down. You can select multiple files for one profile

Destination file:

• Destination filetype: the type the original will be converted to
• Enter the desired width OR height for the converted file
  • for example: if your PowerPoibt template is 1920 px wide, set the width of the conversion profile to 1920px. That way your images will have the perfect size for your templates.
• Choose between RGB (for web) or CMYK (for print)
• Select the desired ICC profile. By default the correct ones for Europe are configured. If you're not sure what ICC profiles are, don't change this setting.
  • If additional profiles are needed because of your requirements, get in touch with our team.
• DPI (Dots Per Inch). Set to 72 or 96 when going for a low-resolution conversion (to use for screen).
• Enable embedding: when checked, the profile can be selected when creating an embed link of an asset.
• Enable TinyPNG: when enabled, files will be sent to TinyPNG to reduce file size as much as possible without loss of quality. Use this for LoRes conversions only
  • Conversions using TinyPNG will not be downloaded immediately. When ready, the file can be downloaded from the download queue.
• Watermark on download: when enabled, the watermark uploaded in the Assets settings will be added to the downloaded image.
• Resample image: just like in Photoshop, you can resample the image to an exact pixel value. This can not be used for image conversions (and will be removed in a future release of Kadanza)

For Cropping conversions

Dimensions:

• Define the (pixel) values for the size. As the source file can have different DPI values, the width and height will be converted to an aspect ratio (example: 1920 px x 1920 px will result in an aspect ratio of 1:1)
• Enable embedding: when checked, the profile can be selected when creating an embed link of an asset.
• Enable TinyPNG: when enabled, files will be sent to TinyPNG to reduce file size as much as possible without loss of quality. Use this for LoRes conversions only
  • Conversions using TinyPNG will not be downloaded immediately. When ready, the file can be downloaded from the download queue.
• Watermark on download: when enabled, the watermark uploaded in the Assets settings will be added to the downloaded image.
• Resample image: just like in Photoshop, you can resample the image to an exact pixel value. When checked, the cropped image will be sized to the pixel values entered in the dimensions, resulting in a Low-resolution file of 72dpi with the pixel width and height set in the dimensions.
