What is Dynamic Asset Transformation (DAT)

Dynamic Asset Transformation (DAT) connects your DAM content engine with your technology setup, automating asset optimization.

With DAT, you can generate tailored versions of assets for different systems by adding specific parameters to the DAT derivative URL.

Using Dynamic Asset Transformations suited to the platform or device your users use ensures an optimal user experience.

When configuring Dynamic Asset Transformations, the system uses the focus point set at the asset level in the DAM. You can override this focus point when creating a new transformation or preset without affecting the asset's focus point in the portal. Moreover, the DAT service automatically updates the Bynder CDN cache when a new manual focus point is set or when a new asset version is uploaded, maintaining brand consistency.
