- Where to find it
- Labelled Image Public ID in the "Selected Component" section of the Modify drawer.
- Offered by
- The Image component. Other components do not have this setting.
- Per device
- No — this setting has a single value that applies on every screen.
In plain English
The public ID is the name a particular image goes by inside a Cloudinary account — something like "marketing/hero-spring-2026". Together with the cloud name it is enough to fetch exactly that picture.
As with the cloud name, the Media Selector fills this in when you choose an image, so you should not normally need to type it. It is here for the case where you know the identifier of an image that is not in your team's library.
When you would use it
- Referencing a Cloudinary image directly, without going through the media library.
- Checking which image a component is actually pointing at.
How to change it
- Click the image component on the canvas.
- In the Modify drawer, open "Selected Component", then "Image Public ID".
- Enter the public ID, including any folder path, exactly as Cloudinary lists it.
Watch out for
- Public IDs include their folder path and are case-sensitive. "Hero-Image" and "hero-image" are different pictures.
- Do not include the file extension unless Cloudinary shows it as part of the ID.
- An image set this way is outside your team's media library, so nobody managing assets will know it is in use.
