You can crop an image based on any custom shape. Do this by having your own custom image as a mask for cropping, setting the overlay parameter as your mask image's public ID and setting the flags parameter to cutter (in URLs: l_<mask_image>,fl_cutter).

Custom shapes cut out

Cut out any shape from an image. Do this by having your own custom image as the mask for the cutout by setting overlay parameter as your mask image's public ID and chaining a transformation with effect parameter as cut_out and flags parameter as layer_apply (l_<public_id>/e_cut_out,fl_layer_apply in URLs).

Face detection-based image cropping

Crop an image based on an automatically detected face or faces by specifying the width and height (w and h in URLs), setting the gravity parameter to face or faces (g_face or g_faces in URLs), then choose the crop mode most suitable to your requirements.

Crop pictures by custom coordinates

Crop your images by specifying the width and height parameters (w and h in URLs) while setting the crop parameter to crop (c_crop in URLs). This will extract only part of a given width & height out of the original image. The original proportions are retained and so is the size of the graphics.

Resizing an image to fill given dimensions

Resize your images to fill specified dimensions by setting the width and height (w and h in URLs), while setting the crop parameter to fill (c_fill in URLs). This will resize and crop the image so an image with the exact specified dimensions is generated. The fill crop mode keeps the original image's aspect ratio, therefore parts of the images may be cut-off.

Convert PDF to JPG

Convert your PDF files to a JPG thumbnail by simply switching the extension of the file to JPG. You can also specify the target thumbnail dimensions using the width and height parameters and any available crop mode. If your PDF file has multiple pages, you can specify the specific page to convert using the page parameter (pg in URLs). For example: Multi-page
