NFTCDN's Core Service Offerings
We want to make being able to display Cardano Native Assets (NFTs & FTs) as quick, easy and cost-effective as possible for developers. We want to make Native Asset multimedia content load as fast as possible for end-users. That’s it – as simple as.

Documentation
- Animated images support: GIFs are rescaled and transcoded to Animated WebP. Note however that it's slower and requires more bandwidth than the first frame provided by the /image endpoint.
- SVG passthrough: SVGs are not rasterized by NFTCDN, which usually improves the rendering quality at the expense of versatility (cannot be used on textures or link cards for example) and security (transcoding adds a layer of security). This also requires to take care of their positioning as it can vary depending on the use or not of viewboxing inside the SVG.
- The original aspect ratio of the image is preserved when ?size is used, which gives more control over the layout of image galleries, but also requires more attention.
- Planned to later offer a preview of HTML NFTs using an image of the rendered HTML.
Native Asset "/files" API Endpoint
An API endpoint to acquire files embedded within native assets
Capability Details
- Can handle native assets with multiple files
- Enables the use of all file types, including audio files, videos, HTML/Javascript files, GLT 3D models, etc
