Secure media access

Use signed URLs, on-demand watermarks and basic firewall policies to keep your files from being shared or embedded without permission.

Signed URLs with configurable expiry

Hand out links that expire when you say so and, if you like, stamp a watermark on every download. Unsigned URLs can be disabled at the account level, so public endpoints never expose originals.

Need finer-grained control? Mark files as private and apply restrictions only to that content instead of enforcing the rule across the whole account.

Restrict which edits are allowed

Serve images and video only through named transformations. By whitelisting specific presets, say, thumb_320, you block every unapproved crop, resize or filter a third party might try to apply.

Prevent hot-linking and unwanted traffic

A built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) lets you drop requests at the edge. Block by HTTP referrer to stop hot-linking, by IP or CIDR to shut out abuse, by User-Agent to curb scrapers, or by geo-location to comply with regional rules.

All rules are evaluated at the edge, so genuine users stay fast while freeloaders see an instant denial.
