The CMS Export module in FotoWeb allows exporting any picture or graphics file to a Content Management System. In the process, a user can resize, add effects, and otherwise customize the appearance of the exported picture.

When a user exports a picture for embedding in the CMS, FotoWeb creates a permanent link to a cached version of the exported image. Users can set a publication expiry date, after which the exported asset becomes unavailable. (The CMS will display a block saying Media Not Available.) It is also possible to manually revoke a published picture so it will no longer appear in the CMS.

Exported pictures are delivered from outside of FotoWeb's authentication layers and will be available to anyone with knowledge of the URL and access to the server. This also ensures maximum performance so that a powerful server can concurrently handle thousands of image requests.
