CLI + CI/CD ready
Publish assets manually during development or automate uploads inside your release pipeline. Smooth CDN fits into your existing workflow instead of forcing a new deployment process.
Everything your frontend asset workflow needs after upload
Upload assets once, let Smooth CDN optimize them, keep URLs stable, collaborate with your team, and deliver files through a CDN without building a custom asset pipeline.
Workflow
From raw files to delivery-ready assets
Smooth CDN connects the steps that are usually handled by separate tools: uploading, optimization, versioning, access control, collaboration and CDN delivery.

Who this is for
Built for teams that handle frontend assets repeatedly
- Frontend teams shipping image-heavy pages
- Agencies managing assets across multiple client sites
- WordPress and Strapi projects with growing media libraries
- Developers who want CDN delivery without building a custom optimization pipeline
- Teams that need designers or non-developers to prepare assets safely
Asset workflow
More than a place to host files
Smooth CDN is not only CDN storage. It is a workflow for preparing frontend assets before delivery: optimization, stable URLs, versioning, optional protection, desktop sync and team access.
The CDN is the delivery layer. The asset workflow is the product.
Publish assets without building a custom pipeline
Publish assets manually during development or automate uploads inside your release pipeline. Smooth CDN fits into your existing workflow instead of forcing a new deployment process.
- Use CLI uploads, CI/CD jobs, integrations, or your backend.
- Keep frontend files separate from app hosting concerns without adding custom infrastructure.
Reduce file weight without another build step
Reduce file weight without adding another image, CSS, JS or PDF optimization step to your build process.
- Prepare lighter images, CSS, JS, PDFs, video, audio, and fonts automatically.
- Show before-and-after asset improvements in a way product teams can understand.
Use stable URLs and add controls only where needed
Use predictable URLs in apps, templates, CMS fields and metadata while Smooth CDN handles optimized delivery behind the scenes.
- Group assets into release packages when you need predictable rollouts, rollback paths or staged delivery.
- Keep public assets simple, but protect selected files when downloads should require controlled access.
Let the right people work on assets safely
Let designers, developers or content teams work with project assets without sharing one account or giving everyone full owner access.
- Invite teammates with scoped access to assets, versions, and protected delivery controls.
- Pair project access with Smooth CDN Connect when asset work happens in desktop folders.
Main features
Features grouped around the asset lifecycle
Each feature supports one stage of the same workflow: getting files from raw source assets to optimized, stable, CDN-ready URLs.
Upload and automation
Smooth CDN Connect desktop app
Sync local folders to Smooth CDN so asset updates can happen from the desktop, not only from the browser or CI/CD.
Optimization and delivery
Automatic asset optimization
Reduce file weight without adding another image, CSS, JS or PDF optimization step to your build process.
Stable, cache-friendly CDN URLs
Use predictable URLs in apps, templates, CMS fields and metadata while Smooth CDN handles optimized delivery behind the scenes.
Control and collaboration
Optional versioned packages
Group assets into release packages when you need predictable rollouts, rollback paths or staged delivery.
Optional token protection
Keep public assets simple, but protect selected files when downloads should require controlled access.
Collaborators with scoped permissions
Let designers, developers or content teams work with project assets without sharing one account or giving everyone full owner access.
Integrations
Framework, CMS, and backend friendly
Use Smooth CDN with Next.js, WordPress, Strapi or custom backends when asset delivery needs to fit your current stack.
Desktop workflow
Sync local folders with Smooth CDN Connect
Smooth CDN Connect is the desktop app for moving files from your computer into Smooth CDN. Pick local assets, sync changes, and use CDN URLs after optimization without turning every update into a manual upload.
Use this when asset work does not happen only inside Git or CI/CD. Designers, content teams and developers can sync local folders and still use the same optimized CDN delivery workflow.
01
Choose files locally
Work from a desktop folder instead of uploading each asset through a browser.
02
Sync to the asset workflow
Send changed files to Smooth CDN so they can be optimized and served from stable URLs.
03
Use optimized URLs right away
Copy CDN-ready links into apps, content, releases, or handoff notes after the upload pipeline prepares the files for delivery.
Start building your asset workflow
Upload your first assets, get optimized CDN URLs, and add automation, versioning, protection or collaboration when your project needs them.
