Relative size overlays

Resize overlays to a given percentage of the main image, either related to width, height or both by setting the flags parameter to relative (fl_relative in URLs) while also setting the width and/or height parameters to the percentage value you need, represented by a decimal value (e.g., 0.4 for 40%).

Limiting an image by specified dimensions

Limit the size of the image by specifying the width and height (w and h in URLs) while setting the crop parameter to limit. This will create an image that does not exceed the given width and height. All original image parts remain visible and the aspect ratio of the original image is kept.

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.

Resize an image

Resize your images by setting the width and/or height parameters (w and h in URLs). When resizing using Cloudinary's URL-based transformations, Cloudinary will automatically apply the scale crop mode. Alternatively, you can use any one of our many supported crop modes.

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
