AEM 6.4 asset renditions, is it safe to remove 140x100 rendition?

By default DAM Update Asset generate the following structure of renditions: Renditions structure

I have verified our request log, where I could see all renditions except 140x100 are used on authoring instance.

Is it safe to remove 140x100 rendition? Is it used by default AEM components? Is it safe to remove that rendition if we use only Touch UI?

Solution

  • It is hard to say if it is "safe" to delete the rendition. In theory, no component should "rely" on it being there. Well written asset code is always going to use some kind of fallback or look for the "nearest" rendition for a given size.

    But there is no guarantee for that.

    The better question is why you want to remove the rendition? Usually, it should be tiny so it should not waste a lot of space.

    Nevertheless, if you intend to remove it, you should also update related workflows like the "DAM Update Asset" workflow that creates this rendition in the first place.
