Conditional image transformations

Cloudinary supports conditional transformations for images, where a transformation is only applied if a specified condition is met, for example, if an image's width is greater than 300 pixels, apply a certain transformation.

Specifying conditions

To specify a condition to be met before applying a transformation, use the if parameter (also if in URLs). The if parameter accepts a string value detailing the condition to evaluate, and is specified in the URL in the following format:

if_<image characteristic>_<operator>_<image characteristic value>

Where:

image characteristic: The image parameter representing the characteristic to evaluate, for example w (or width in SDKs).
operator: The comparison operator for the comparison, for example lt for 'less than' (or < in SDKs).
image characteristic value: A hard coded value to check against, a supported user-defined variable containing a value to check against, or a different image characteristic you want to compare to.
For example, if you only want to apply a transformation to non-square images, you could check if the width characteristic of your image is not equal to its height characteristic: if_w_ne_h

Tips

Specify strings for a characteristic sub-element or value surrounded by ! !. For example, if_ if_ctx:!productType!_eq_!shoes!.
You can check whether a string characteristic currently has no value using !!.
For example: if some-condition_eq_!!

See examples below.

Supported image characteristics

Characteristic	Description
`w`	(also `width` in SDKs) The asset's current width.
`iw`	The asset's initial width.
`h`	(also `height` in SDKs) The asset's current height.
`ih`	The asset's initial height.
`ar`	(also `aspect_ratio` in SDKs) The aspect ratio of the asset. The compared value can be either decimal (e.g., 1.5) or a ratio (e.g., 3:4).
`iar`	The asset's initial aspect ratio.
`ctx`	A contextual metadata value assigned to an asset.
`md`	A structured metadata value assigned to an asset.
`tags`	The set of tags assigned to the asset.
`tar` (`trimmed_aspect_ratio` in SDKs)	The aspect ratio of the image IF it was trimmed (using the 'trim' effect) without actually trimming the image. The compared value can be either decimal (e.g., 1.5) or a ratio (e.g., 3:4).
`cp`	The current page in the image/document.
`fc` (`face_count` in SDKs)	The total number of detected faces in the image.
`pc` (`page_count` in SDKs)	The total number of pages in the image/document.
`px`	A layer or page's original x offset position relative to the whole composition (for example, in a PSD or TIFF file).
`py`	A layer or page's original y offset position relative to the whole composition (for example, in a PSD or TIFF file).
`idn`	The initial density (dpi) of the image.
`ils`	The likelihood that the image is an illustration (as opposed to a photo). Supported values: 0 (photo) to 1 (illustration)
`pgnames`	The names of layers in a TIFF file. Use with the in or nin operators.

Supported operators

URL	SDK symbol	Description
`eq`	`=`	Equal to
`ne`	`!=`	Not equal to
`lt`	`<`	Less than
`gt`	`>`	Greater than
`lte`	`<=`	Less than or equal to
`gte`	`>=`	Greater than or equal to
`in`\|`nin`	`in`\|`nin`	Included in \| Not included in Compares a set of strings against another set of strings. See Using the in and nin operators for examples.

When working with the Cloudinary SDKs, you can specify the condition using the SDK characteristic names and operator symbols, or you can specify it using the URL format. For example, both of the following are valid:

{ if: "w_gt_1000"},...
{ if: "width > 1000"},...

Using the in and nin operators

The in and nin operators compare two sets of strings. The : delimiter between strings denotes AND. String sets can include tags, contextual metadata or structured metadata values, for example:

To determine if sale and in_stock are present in the tags of a particular asset, use:
if_!sale:in_stock!_in_tags.
To determine if the key named color exists in the contextual metadata of a particular asset, use:
if_!color!_in_ctx.
To determine if a structured metadata field with external ID, color-id, has been set for a particular asset, use:
if_!color-id!_in_md.
To determine if a list value with external ID, green-id, has been selected from a multiple-selection structured metadata field with external ID, colors-id, for a particular asset, use:
if_!green-id!_in_md!colors-id!.

For TIFF files:

To determine if a TIFF file contains a layer called Shadow, use:
if_!Shadow!_in_pgnames.

Supported conditional image transformation parameters and flags

All image transformation parameters can be assigned in conditions except:
- You cannot assign transformation parameters for the format, fetch_format, default_image, color_space, or delay parameters.
- The page (pg in URLs) parameter cannot be assigned for animated images
  (page can be used in conditions for PSD, PDF, or TIFF documents).
- The quality parameter cannot be set to jpegmini.
- The angle parameter cannot be set to ignore.
Only the following flags are supported inside conditional image transformations:
layer_apply, region_relative, relative, progressive, cutter, png8, attachment, awebp, lossy

Notes

For the w, h, cp and ar parameters, the values refer to the current image status in the transformation chain (i.e., if transformations have already been applied to the image), while iw, ih, fc and pc always refer to the original image.
dpr is not supported as a conditional transformation with the cp and ar characteristics. Additionally, w and h are supported with dpr as long as they are still equal to iw or ih when the condition is evaluated. If dpr is specified in the transformation as a whole, and one of the conditional branches includes a resizing transformation, you need to specify a resize transformation in all the other branches too.
The ar (aspect ratio) parameter should be compared using 'greater than' or 'less than' rather than with 'equals'. This is because the width and height values are given as integers and not floating point values, leading to an "almost exact" calculated aspect ratio.

Specifying transformations for a condition

The transformation for a condition should be specified between the condition component and an if_end component in the format:

if_condition/transformation/if_end

For example:

if_ar_lt_1.0/b_auto,c_pad,h_300,w_500/if_end

In the following transformation, both images are are scaled to a width of 500px. Afterwards, the same conditional padded-resize transformation shown above is applied to both images. However, since the condition applies only for portrait images (those with an aspect ratio less than 1.0) the resizing and padding is only applied to the ladybug image.

Same conditional transformation on portrait image

Note

Transformation URLs technically support defining both the condition and a single resulting transformation inside a single transformation component (without the need for a closing end_if). However, to avoid ambiguity, the best practice is to always use if and if_end components in your URL as shown above.

Some SDKs require this separation and automatically generate URLs in the if...end_if format.
Named transformation cannot be placed in the same transformation component as its condition (e.g., if_w_eq_h,t_trans is not supported) and must be specified using the if...if_end format.
If you do include both the if condition and the resulting transformation parameters within a single component of the URL, the if condition is evaluated first, regardless of it's location within the component and (only) when the condition is true, all transformation parameters specified in that component are applied.

Conditions with chained transformations

You can apply multiple chained transformations to your condition by including the entire chained transformation in between the if and if_end components.

For example, if you allocate space on your page for an image with a width of 600px, you can conditionally add a blurred background for images whose width is less than 600px, along with a text overlay:

Multiple AND | OR conditions

You can specify multiple conditions to evaluate by joining the conditions with AND or OR conjunction operators.

Note

'AND' operators are evaluated before 'OR' operators.

For example, to crop the sample image to a width of 300 pixels and a height of 200 pixels, only if the aspect ratio is greater than 3:4, the width is greater than 300, and the height is greater than 200 (if_ar_gt_3:4_and_w_gt_300_and_h_gt_200):

Note

It's also possible to define multiple separate conditions, each with its own transformation result by using multiple if...end_if chained components in the URL.

Else branch transformations

You can specify a transformation that is applied in the case that the initial condition is evaluated as false (and hence the transformations associated with the condition are not applied), by using the if_else parameter to specify this fallback transformation.

For example, to fill an image to a width of 80 pixels and a height of 120 pixels if the original image has a width less than or equal to 200 pixels (the condition: if_iw_lte_200,c_fill,h_120,w_80), and to fill the image to a width of 100 pixels and a height of 150 pixels if the original image has a width greater than 200 pixels (the fallback: if_else,c_fill,h_90,w_100):

// This code example is not currently available.

In cases where the if condition is not in the preceding transformation component, then the if_else parameter also acts as an if_end parameter: all chained transformation components until the one with if_else are only applied if the previous condition holds true. Multiple conditional transformations can also be applied by adding an if_end parameter to the last transformation component in the chain, and to avoid ambiguity, the component with the if_else parameter should not have additional transformation instructions.

For example, if the width is less than or equal to 400 pixels then fill the image to 220x180 and add a red effect, else if the width is greater than 400 pixels then fill the image to 190x300 and add an oil painting effect:

Conditional cropping mode based on illustration score This example ensures that uploaded graphics such as logos are never cut off, even if the art design changes its aspect ratio, but photos will always fill the full space available. Using the ils conditional characteristic, the cloudinary_icon_blue logo is cropped using the pad method and the sample photo is cropped using the fill method:

Note

When you use variable or conditional expressions that include the tags, ctx or md parameters, their values are exposed publicly in the URL. If you want to prevent such values from being exposed, you can disable the Usage of tags/context/metadata in transformation URLs option in the Security tab of your account settings (enabled by default). When this setting is disabled, any URL that exposes tags, contextual metadata or structured metadata values will return an error.
