Acquia DAM
What are the supported file types?
A number of file types and formats are supported in the Acquia DAM (Widen). File formats for some assets listed below are supported, meaning they can be previewed automatically when they’re uploaded to the DAM and that the original file format can be changed to a different format when you download or share them. Supported files can be searched for by file type and file format and shared via share link or embed code.
In addition:
If a file format is unsupported, it can’t be changed to another file format, and a preview won’t display. Unsupported file formats can, however, be uploaded to the DAM and downloaded in their native format, with alternate previews manually uploaded. Unsupported file formats do not have an X in the columns in the table below.
