Streamlining content creation and media delivery is crucial for modern marketing and development teams. ImageKit has announced a significant integration to unify these workflows with the launch of its official app on the Contentful Marketplace. This integration embeds ImageKit’s full suite of image and video management, real-time optimization, and global delivery capabilities directly inside the Contentful CMS, allowing teams to manage and publish optimized visuals without switching platforms or altering existing processes.
ImageKit's official app is now available on the Contentful Marketplace.
It provides direct access to the ImageKit media library and DAM inside Contentful.
Teams can apply real-time optimizations and transformations without leaving the CMS.
All assets are delivered via ImageKit’s global CDN for fast performance.
The integration maintains existing folder-level governance and security policies.
It eliminates the need to re-upload assets, creating a single source of truth for media.
This integration directly addresses a common friction point for teams using multiple platforms. Instead of storing and managing duplicate media files in both Contentful and a separate DAM or CDN, teams can now use ImageKit as a single, unified storage source. The app allows users to browse, search, and select assets directly from their entire ImageKit library within the Contentful interface, ensuring consistency and eliminating redundant uploads.
The app ensures that visual performance is never an afterthought. Any asset inserted into content via the ImageKit app is automatically optimized and delivered through ImageKit's global CDN. Content teams can apply real-time transformations—such as resizing, cropping, compression, and format conversion—using preset parameters or custom URLs. This capability guarantees that images and videos are production-ready, visually consistent, and fast-loading across all websites, apps, and channels directly from publication.
A key feature of the integration is its respect for established governance structures. The app mirrors the folder-level controls and path policies defined in a user's ImageKit account. Administrators can govern precisely which assets are visible and editable within Contentful, maintaining security and organizational rules without additional configuration. This enables smoother collaboration between content, design, and marketing teams by providing governed access within a familiar workspace.
“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.”
The launch of the ImageKit app for Contentful represents a strategic move towards deeply integrated, best-of-breed tech stacks. It allows Contentful to excel as the content operations layer while ImageKit seamlessly powers the media backbone, enabling businesses to deliver superior visual experiences at scale without workflow complexity or compromise.
