CLI + CI/CD ready
Publish assets from the terminal during development or automate the same flow in release pipelines when your team is ready.
Features for a cleaner asset delivery workflow
Smooth CDN helps you move frontend assets from source files to optimized, stable CDN URLs, with team access and desktop sync when asset work spreads beyond one developer.
Feature structure
A clearer way to scan what Smooth CDN actually does
This page is organized around the core delivery story first, then the main feature set teams evaluate when they decide whether Smooth CDN fits their workflow.
A cleaner path from source files to delivery-ready assets
Smooth CDN is built around the asset workflow itself: publish files once, let the platform prepare delivery, then use CDN URLs in the parts of your stack that need them.
- Keep frontend files separate from app hosting concerns.
- Use the same delivery layer across apps, CMS output, plugins, and internal tools.
Performance improvements that stay readable for teams
Optimization matters most when it fits the delivery workflow your team already understands. Smooth CDN keeps the story simple: lighter assets, stable usage patterns, fewer manual steps.
- Show before-and-after asset improvements in a way product teams can understand.
- Keep URLs stable while delivery formats become lighter behind the scenes.
Start simple, then add delivery controls only where needed
Most teams only need fast public CDN delivery at first. When release workflows or gated files become more important, Smooth CDN can grow into that layer instead of forcing it from day one.
- Add versions for staged rollouts and explicit release packages.
- Protect selected files with token access without turning every asset private.
Collaborate on projects without sharing one account
Project owners can invite collaborators, grant focused permissions, and keep asset work close to the people who actually prepare files for delivery.
- Invite teammates to a project with scoped access to assets, versions, and protected delivery controls.
- Pair project access with Smooth CDN Connect when non-developers need a desktop workflow for syncing local files.
Main features
The core Smooth CDN feature set
These are the main delivery features most teams look for first, with optional controls kept clearly separate from the baseline CDN workflow.
Automatic asset optimization
Prepare lighter image, audio, video, PDF, CSS, and JS delivery without turning optimization into a separate toolchain.
Stable, cache-friendly CDN URLs
Use predictable asset paths in apps, templates, CMS fields, metadata, and integrations while Smooth CDN handles delivery behavior.
Optional versioned packages
When a project needs release-oriented delivery, group assets into named versions and keep older packages available during rollout.
Optional token protection
Protect selected files with token-based access when some assets should stay gated while public frontend files remain simple.
Collaborators with scoped permissions
Add project collaborators so teammates can work with assets without sharing credentials or receiving full owner access.
Smooth CDN Connect desktop app
Sync local files from Windows or macOS to Smooth CDN and quickly use optimized CDN URLs in your workflow.
Framework, CMS, and backend friendly
Use Smooth CDN with Next.js, WordPress, Strapi, or your own backend when asset delivery needs to fit an existing stack instead of replacing it.
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.
01
Choose files locally
Work from a desktop folder instead of uploading each asset through a browser.
02
Sync to the CDN
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 with optimized asset delivery
Upload your first assets, use stable CDN URLs, and add versioning or protected delivery when your workflow needs it.
