'fetching' more than one image in the same Cloudinary url

Hi.

I can successfully 'fetch' an image from a folder on my website and apply a 'distort' transformation to it, like so ...

 

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/fetch/c_scale,h_1600,w_1600/c_scale,e_distort:424:691:831:850:627:1317:200:1099,g_center,h_1600,w_1600/https://northstarbazaar.co.uk/fpdf182/images/bday/bday007.png

 

However, is there a way I can add further 'fetch' commands to the same Cloudinary url so that I could, say, fetch 5 images, distort each independently, then display the five distorted images together in one image?

 

Thank you.

  Sure, you can do that. However, in order to add fetch image, you'll need to add the URL as a base64 URL.

  For example:

  https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/fetch/c_scale,h_1600,w_1600/c_scale,e_distort:424:691:831:850:627:1317:200:1099,g_center,h_1600,w_1600/l_fetch:aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5jbG91ZGluYXJ5LmNvbS9zaGlybHkvaW1hZ2UvdXBsb2FkL2Nsb3VkaW5hcnlfaWNvbg==,w_300,e_distort:424:691:831:850:627:1317:200:1099/https://northstarbazaar.co.uk/fpdf182/images/bday/bday007.png

  Thanks for that Shirly.

   

  This has expanded my knowledge but I've decided against using Base 64 as my images are quite large and I need to add 5 images to the URL, which will make it absolutely huge.

   

  Instead, I have decided to upload the images from my host to Cloudinary where they are much easier to access, with shorter URL's.

   

  There's so much you can do with Cloudinary and there's nearly always more than one way to tackle a problem!
