Assets in Uniform

Uniform offers a composable way to manage and use assets from any source, whether that's a DAM, a CMS, a PIM, a stock image provider, or the platform itself. Editors work with one consistent picker, and developers consume one consistent asset value, regardless of where each asset actually lives.

The platform-native asset library is the built-in source for uploading, storing, organizing, and delivering assets directly in Uniform, including on-the-fly transformations via the Image Delivery API. To bring in assets that already live elsewhere, you can connect DAM and asset integrations, or integrate your own asset source with a custom mesh integration.

To use assets on a composition, entry, or pattern, you add an asset parameter to a component definition, or add an asset field to a content type. A single asset parameter can connect to the Uniform Asset Library, any configured asset integration, a data resource, or a custom URL, so editors choose from every available source through the same UI.
