Digizuite supports converting assets to different formats.
For instance, a thumbnail is automatically generated for a wide range of file types, allowing for an easy visual identification of assets in e.g. the Media Manager and integrations.
This section covers the most important concepts related to configuring and using formats in Digizuite.
Format definition
A format has a format type, which is defined by a file extension. Examples of supported format types are:

A format defines the output of a transcode, which is the process of converting an input file from one encoding to another. When an asset is transcoded to a format, the end result is called a rendition or quality.
Digizuite comes with a set of predefined formats, primarily used for thumbnails and previews. However these formats can be edited, and other formats can be defined. Formats can be configured from the system administration page in the Media Manager.
By default, thumbnails are generated as webp files with transparency, optimized for efficient loading on web pages.
