NEWARK, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 16, 2025--

ImageKit, a unified image and video API platform with integrated Digital Asset Management (DAM), today announced the launch of its ImageKit App for Contentful, now available on the Contentful Marketplace. The integration brings ImageKit’s complete AI-powered DAM capabilities, real-time image and video optimization /transformations, and global CDN delivery directly into Contentful, enabling teams to manage and publish high-performance visuals without ever leaving their CMS workspace.

Teams using Contentful often waste time reuploading media that already exists in ImageKit. The ImageKit app eliminates this by letting you access and use your ImageKit assets directly inside Contentful, keeping workflows fast and delivery optimized from one source.

The integration is fully maintained by ImageKit and built using Contentful’s app framework, ensuring long-term reliability, marketplace verification, and seamless compatibility with existing workflows across content, design, and marketing teams.

“Contentful is a powerful CMS trusted by content and marketing teams, but media management and optimization need a dedicated solution,” said Manu Chaudhary, CTO at ImageKit. “With our new Contentful app, teams get the best of both worlds. They can continue working within Contentful while tapping into ImageKit’s purpose-built image and video transformations, DAM capabilities, and global CDN. This helps teams publish high-quality visuals that load fast across every channel.”

Bring optimized, governed, and production-ready visuals into Contentful

Here’s what this integration unlocks for Contentful workflows.

Use one unified storage for all your media assets: Instead of storing media files in both Contentful and ImageKit, teams can now store everything in ImageKit’s media library and access it directly inside Contentful. This keeps assets consistent, easy to find, and always optimized from a single source of truth.

Deliver consistently fast, high-quality experiences: Media assets inserted through the ImageKit app are automatically optimized and delivered through ImageKit’s global CDN. Teams get real-time resizing, compression, and format conversion for reliable performance across devices and locations. You can use global delivery settings or apply transformation strings and named presets to ensure consistent visual output across webpages, product catalogs, and in-app experiences.

Faster and smoother workflows: Teams can reorder images, view file metadata, and quickly find assets using advanced filters and AI-powered visual search without leaving Contentful. You can also open any asset in the ImageKit dashboard whenever you need more advanced editing, keeping your workflows fast and efficient.

Give every team governed access to the right assets: Admins can choose exactly which folders, file types, or tagged assets appear to users inside Contentful. The ImageKit app respects all folder-level controls already defined in your ImageKit account, including path policies. This means any rules you’ve set for a folder, such as restricting uploads, preventing overwrites, or limiting who can modify or view specific assets, automatically apply when users browse the same folders inside Contentful. Users only see the assets they’re allowed to work with, and workflows stay secure and organized without any extra configuration.

ImageKit’s integration ensures that Contentful continues to act as the operational content layer, while ImageKit powers the media backbone beneath it, enabling businesses to deliver visually consistent, high-performance experiences at scale.
