When you use Cloudimage to optimise your image and video data, the URLs of your files appear like this by default:
https://token.cloudimg.io/my-domain/path/image.jpg
In this URL, the token is a unique 10-character identifier (e.g., abcdefghij) that links to your Cloudimage account.
Although it's not possible to edit a token directly, you can replace it with a custom CNAME.
What is a CNAME?
A CNAME is a DNS record that maps one domain name (an alias) to another (the canonical name).
Example of token replacement
Here's how this change looks:
-
URL with a Cloudimage / DMO token:
https://ahfxxxyz.cloudimg.io/my-domain.com/path/image.jpg -
When the token is replaced by a CNAME:
https://media.my-domain.com/path/image.jpg
Supported plans
The Cloudimage plans Essential, Grow, Scale, and ENTERPRISE allow you to request a CNAME to replace your token.
How to request a CNAME
If you would like to request a CNAME for your token, please contact us and mention the following details:
