Sanity
Image Pipeline
On-the-fly image transformations — cropping, resizing, and format conversion — served from a global CDN.
Sanity's image pipeline handles image transformations on the fly — resizing, cropping, format conversion, and quality adjustment — all served from a global CDN. You upload a high-resolution original, and Sanity generates optimized versions for every context: thumbnails for listing pages, medium sizes for article headers, full-resolution for lightbox galleries. The images are converted to modern formats like WebP automatically.
For Okanagan businesses that are inherently visual — wineries with vineyard photography, restaurants with food styling, vacation rentals with property galleries, tourism operators with activity photos — the image pipeline is invaluable. Your team uploads beautiful high-resolution photos, and the technical optimization happens automatically. No need to create multiple sizes manually or worry about file formats.
The CDN delivery ensures these optimized images load quickly from wherever your visitors are located. A tourist in Europe browsing your Okanagan winery's gallery gets images served from a nearby edge node, properly sized for their device. A local on their phone sees mobile-optimized versions. The focal point feature lets editors set a crop center for each image, ensuring the subject stays centered regardless of the aspect ratio the website displays it at.
