Image filters

Apply image effects and adjustments

Filters allow you to modify images on the fly by applying different effects.

Most of the on-the-fly image transformations can be configured using the Asset Variation Builder, an in-line URL builder to preview each image transformation instantly.

Available filters

Brightness	bright=X | f=bright:X	adjusts the brightness of the image
Contrast	contrast=X | f=contrast:X	adjusts the contrast of the image
Saturate	saturate=X | f=saturate:X	adjusts the saturation of the image
Grayscale	gray=1 | f=gray | grey=1 | f=grey	converts the image to a black and white one
Color overlay	colorize=X | colourise=X	applies a color overlay
Pixelate	pixelate=X | f=pixelate:X | pixellate=X | f=pixellate:X	pixelates the image into X-pixel-sized blocks

Combining filters

To use more than one filter, you can either use separate parameters or concatenate them with commas into the f parameter:
