BASE VARIATION: It allows starting the transformation based on a given variation. Usually, this parameter is empty, and the transformation always starts from the best variation. The best practice is to omit this parameter.

Usage example of BASE VARIATION :

If you would like to benefit from a variation that has its background removed by an AI, then the BASE VARIATION should be set to "stripped_background", that is the variation of the image that was processed by AI to try to remove the background to isolate the subject on a transparent background.

...

FILE_NAME: It is the file name served to the browser. If not downloading the image, which is the most common case, then it only serves for SEO referencing.

To achieve good SEO referencing, the following procedure is advisable

The file name is composed, in order of priority:

If in wedia_metadata "name + locale" exists and is not empty (for example, namefr for an article in French), then use name + locale:

If in wedia_metadata "name" exists and is not empty, then use name

If in the name in wedia_metadata, then use title.

...

You may also add keywords coming from wedia_metadata. All keywords are added after the name, separated by hyphens.

The final file name, name + keywords, is encoded to account for accents and spaces.

.FILE_EXTENSION: Allows specifying a specific file format, for example .png, .jpg, .webp. Leave it empty to benefit from Wedia's ability to return the best file format based on the browser's capabilities (usually WebP).
