Accounts created before Nov. 1st, 2021
Accounts created before November 1, 2021 have to include /v7/ in the path, like shown below.
//token.cloudimg.io/v7/original_image_url?operations&filters
Accounts created on or after November 1, 2021 do not require /v7/ and documentation have been updated accordingly.
To verify the type of configuration on your Cloudimage account, log in to your Cloudimage admin panel and look at the syntax provided on the Welcome page.
[NOTE] If you are an existing Cloudimage customer and wish to be able to remove the v7 from your URL syntax, please contact our support.
Fit
Resizes the image to fit into a specified width and height box, adds padding (image or solid colour) to keep proportions, and delivers the resulting image via CDN.
func=fit
The padding can be customised using the following additional operations:
| function | name | description |
|---|---|---|
| gravity | gravity=X X = [north | south][east | west] | sets the position of the image in the fit box |
| solid background | bg_colour=X | bg_color=X | defines a background colour either with a hex code or colour name |
| bg_colour=auto | bg_color=auto | extracts the most prominent colour from the image and uses it as a background colour | |
| blurred background | bg_img_fit=1 | sets blurred image background |
| bg_blur=X | applies Gaussian blur to the background image | |
| bg_opacity=X X = 0..1 | specifies background image opacity | |
| bg_colourise=X | bg_colorize=X | defines a colour to tint the background image |
Solid colour padding
/sample.li/car1.jpg?w=400&h=320&
func=fit&bg_color=black
For details, please see the solid background section.
Blurred background
/sample.li/car1.jpg?w=400&h=320&
func=fit&bg_img_fit=1&bg_opacity=0.75
All options are listed in the blurred background section.
The gravity=X operation sets the position of the image when padding is added. Possible values are:
| northwest | north | northeast |
|---|---|---|
| west | centre | center | east |
| southwest | south | southeast |
If not explicitly set, the default gravity is centre.
For example, by setting gravity to south, the image is positioned at the bottom and the padding is added at the top.
Fit to 250x250px, centre gravity
/sample.li/earth.jpg?func=fit&
w=250&h=250&bg_colour=10100E&
gravity=centre
Fit to 250x250px, south gravity
/sample.li/earth.jpg?func=fit&
w=250&h=250&bg_colour=10100E&
gravity=south
Default behaviour
/sample.li/castle_doc.jpg?w=500&h=200&
func=fit&bg_colour=b6d6f0
Here, a 400x100-pixel image is fitted into a canvas of 500x200 pixels.
Enabled upscaling
/sample.li/castle_doc.jpg?w=500&h=200&
func=fit&bg_colour=b6d6f0&fit_enlarge=1
With the fit_enlarge=1 option, the image is upscaled and then fitted into the 500x200-pixel canvas.
Setting image margins
If you requre a specific amount margin (solid color or transparent) between the original image and the image borders, you can use the margin=Xp parameter (X is in percent of the resized image). When the aspect ration does not allow the margin to be satisfied both horizontally and vertically, it will be treated as a minimum margin.
