Image resizing and cropping

Last updated: Jan-16-2023

Responsive design and art direction generally requires displaying images at a variety of sizes, often much smaller than the original.

If you deliver full size images and rely on browser-side resizing (using CSS or HTML width and height attributes), users are forced to download unnecessarily large files. Therefore, images should always be delivered from the server at their final size.

When you use any of the Cloudinary resizing transformations, the sizing (scaling/cropping) is performed on the server side, and the asset is always delivered to the browser at the requested size.

Here are some examples of different cropping techniques used on the same image. Click each image to see the URL parameters applied in each case:

Original image

Focus on the

portrait crop

Thumbnail crop centered on the model's face

face for a
thumbnail crop

Banner image keeping the model's face in the crop

Automatically determine what to keep in a banner crop

Tip

To help you learn about the different cropping and resizing modes, try out the interactive demo.

Resize dimensions

You can set the target dimensions of your resized image by specifying width, height, and/or the target aspect ratio as qualifiers of your resize transformation.

Using an integer value for w (width) or h (height) sets the new dimension to that number in pixels. For example, w_150 sets the width to exactly 150 pixels.
Using a decimal value for width or height sets the new dimension relative to the original dimension. For example, w_0.5 sets the width to half the original width.
Using ih or iw as values sets the dimension to the initial height or initial width of the original image respectively. For example, w_iw sets the width to the same value as the original width of the image. This may be useful when applying chained transformations or setting the dimensions of an overlay.
Aspect ratios are specified using the ar (aspect ratio) parameter, as follows:
- a:b where a signifies the relative width and b the relative height (e.g., ar_4:3 or ar_16:9).
- a decimal value representing the ratio of the width divided by the height (e.g., ar_1.33 or ar_2.5). 1.0 is a perfect square.
In most cases, you will specify both width and height or width/height along with an aspect ratio to define the exact required dimensions. However, in rare cases, you may choose to specify only one of these 3 resize qualifiers, and Cloudinary will automatically determine the missing dimension as follows:
- If you provide only width or only height, then the other dimension is automatically calculated to deliver the original aspect ratio. For example, if your original asset is 400*600, then specifying c_crop,w_200 is the same as specifying c_crop,w_200,h_300. Supported for all resize and crop modes.
- If you provide only the aspect ratio: If ar > 1, the original width is maintained and the height is cropped to deliver the requested ratio. If ar < 1, the original height is maintained, and the width is cropped accordingly. Supported for cropping modes only. Not supported for imagga_crop.

Note

If you want to resize only one dimension, and keep the other dimension at its original size (rather than the automatic determination described above), you can specify only width or only height, and add the fl_ignore_aspect_ratio flag qualifier.

Resize and crop modes

When changing the dimensions of an uploaded image by setting the image's height, width, and/or aspect ratio, you need to decide how to resize or crop the image to fit into the requested size. Use the c (crop/resize) parameter for selecting the crop/resize mode. Cloudinary supports the following image resize/crop modes:

Crop/resize mode	Behavior
Cropping modes	If the requested dimensions have a different aspect ratio than the original, these modes crop out part of the image.
fill	Resizes the image to fill the specified dimensions without distortion. The image may be cropped as a result.
lfill	Same as `fill`, but only scales down the image.
fill_pad	Same as `fill`, but avoids excessive cropping by adding padding when needed. Supported only with automatic cropping.
crop	Extracts a region of the specified dimensions from the original image without first resizing it.
thumb	Creates a thumbnail of the image with the specified dimensions, based on a specified gravity. Scaling may occur.
Resize modes	These modes adjust the size of the delivered image without cropping out any elements of the original image.
scale	Resizes the image to the specified dimensions without necessarily retaining the original aspect ratio.
fit	Resizes the image to fit inside the bounding box specified by the dimensions, maintaining the aspect ratio.
limit	Same as `fit`, but only scales down the image.
mfit	Same as `fit`, but only scales up the image.
pad	Resizes the image to fit inside the bounding box specified by the dimensions, maintaining the aspect ratio, and applies padding if the resized image does not fill the whole area.
lpad	Same as `pad`, but only scales down the image.
mpad	Same as `pad`, but only scales up the image.
Add-on resize and crop modes	These modes adjust the size and/or crop the image using an add-on.
imagga_scale	Performs smart scaling, using the Imagga Crop and Scale add-on.
imagga_crop	Performs smart cropping, using the Imagga Crop and Scale add-on.

Note

When creating dynamic delivery URLs, if you specify only the width and/or height parameters, but no cropping mode (no c_<mode>), the image is scaled to the new dimensions by default. However, there is no default cropping mode when using the Cloudinary SDK helper methods (see Embedding images in web pages using SDKs), so a cropping mode must be explicitly set.

Some of the cropping modes keep only a certain part of the original image in the resulting image. By default, the center of the image is kept in the crop, but this is not always ideal. To keep the parts of the image that are important to you, you can use the gravity parameter. For example, you can specify to keep faces, text, or certain objects in the crop, or gravitate towards an automatically-determined area of interest. You can also guide the crop towards areas of your image defined by compass points, for example, north to keep the top part of the image, or south_east to keep the bottom-right part. Additionally, if you know the coordinates of the area you want to keep, you can explicitly specify these.

Resize and crop mode examples

The following examples show the same image resized to a width and height of 200 pixels, using different methods of resizing and cropping.

The original image is 640 x 426 pixels:

Resizing the image to 200 x 200 pixels, using crop, scale, fill and pad results in the following images:

c_crop,h_200,w_200

c_scale,h_200,w_200

c_fill,h_200,w_200

b_black,c_pad,h_200,w_200

You could deliver the c_crop transformation shown above as follows:

Tip

You can experiment with the various crop modes (in combination with different dimensions and gravity settings) using the interactive demo.

fill

The fill cropping mode creates an image with the exact specified dimensions, without distorting the image. This option first scales up or down as much as needed to at least fill both of the specified dimensions. If the requested aspect ratio is different than the original, cropping will occur on the dimension that exceeds the requested size after scaling. You can specify which part of the original image you want to keep if cropping occurs, using the gravity parameter (set to center by default).

Image filled to a width and height of 250 pixels with northwest gravity

lfill (limit fill)

The lfill cropping mode behaves the same as the fill mode, but only if the original image is larger than the specified resolution limits, in which case the image is scaled down to fill the specified dimensions without distorting the image, and then the dimension that exceeds the request is cropped. If the original dimensions are smaller than the requested size, it is not resized at all. This prevents upscaling. You can specify which part of the original image you want to keep if cropping occurs using the gravity parameter (set to center by default).

Example 1: Scale down and fill an area defined by width and height

Fill a 150 x 200 pixel area with the models image and limiting the size to no larger than the original image:

fill_pad

The fill_pad cropping mode tries to prevent a "bad crop" by first attempting to use the fill mode, but adds padding if it is determined that more of the original image needs to be included in the final image. This is especially useful if the aspect ratio of the delivered image is considerably different from the original's aspect ratio. It is only supported in conjunction with Automatic cropping (g_auto), and not supported for animated images.

Example: Compare standard fill mode with fill_pad mode

Compare the lady image delivered as an 80 x 400 image using the fill mode on the left, with the fill_pad mode on the right:

fill

crop

The crop cropping mode extracts a region of the specified dimensions or a detected object from the original image. No scaling is applied, so if you specify dimensions, applying the crop mode to the same image of different resolutions can provide very different results. You can specify the gravity parameter to select which area or object to extract, or use fixed coordinates cropping.

Example 1: Crop an image to specified dimensions (width and height)

Crop the models image to a width of 200 pixels and a height of 150 pixels, with northwest gravity:

Fixed coordinates cropping

You can specify a region of the original image to crop by giving the x and y coordinates of the top left corner of the region together with the width and height of the region. You can also use percentage based numbers instead of the exact coordinates for x, y, w and h (e.g., 0.5 for 50%) . Use this method when you know beforehand what the correct absolute cropping coordinates are, as in when your users manually select the region to crop out of the original image.

For example, the following image shows many white sheep and one brown sheep.

fixed-coordinates cropped image also scaled down

thumb

The thumb cropping mode is specifically used for creating image thumbnails from either face or custom coordinates, and must always be accompanied by the gravity parameter set to one of the face detection or custom values. This cropping mode generates a thumbnail of an image with the exact specified dimensions and with the original proportions retained, but the resulting image might be scaled to fit in the specified dimensions. You can specify the zoom parameter to determine how much to scale the resulting image within the specified dimensions.

Example 1: Crop to a thumbnail of a face

Create a 150 x 150 thumbnail with face detection, of the woman image. Below you can see the original image as well as the face detection based thumbnail:

scale

The scale resize mode changes the size of the image exactly to the specified dimensions without necessarily retaining the original aspect ratio: all original image parts are visible but might be stretched or shrunk. If only the width or height is specified, then the image is scaled to the new dimension while retaining the original aspect ratio, unless you also include the ignore_aspect_ratio flag.

Example 1: Scale while maintaining aspect ratio

Scale the models image to a width of 150 pixels (maintains the aspect ratio by default):

Note

The scale mode can be used to scale up or scale down an image, however when scaling up, the image often loses clarity. To retain clarity while upscaling an image, consider upscaling with super resolution.

fit

The fit resize mode resizes the image so that it takes up as much space as possible within a bounding box defined by the specified dimensions. The original aspect ratio is retained and all of the original image is visible.

Example 1: Fit the image inside a square bounding box

Resize the models image to fit within a width and height of 250 pixels while retaining the aspect ratio:

limit

The limit resize mode behaves the same as the fit mode but only if the original image is larger than the specified limit (width and height), in which case the image is scaled down so that it takes up as much space as possible within a bounding box defined by the specified dimensions. The original aspect ratio is retained and all of the original image is visible. This mode doesn't scale up the image if your requested dimensions are larger than the original image's.

Example 1: Limit the size of the image to a square bounding box

Limit the models image to a width and height of 250 pixels while retaining the aspect ratio:

mfit (minimum fit)

The mfit resize mode behaves the same as the fit mode but only if the original image is smaller than the specified minimum (width and height), in which case the image is scaled up so that it takes up as much space as possible within a bounding box defined by the specified dimensions. The original aspect ratio is retained and all of the original image is visible. This mode doesn't scale down the image if your requested dimensions are smaller than the original image's.

Example 1: Ensure an image fits a minimum bounding box

Fit the models image to a minimum width and height of 250 pixels while retaining the aspect ratio. This results in the original larger image being delivered:

pad

The pad resize mode resizes the image to fill the specified dimensions while retaining the original aspect ratio and with all of the original image visible. If the proportions of the original image do not match the specified dimensions, padding is added to the image to reach the required size. You can also specify where the original image is placed by using the gravity parameter (set to center by default), and specify the color of the background in the case that padding is added.

Example 1: Resize and pad an image to fill the square defined by width and height

lpad (limit pad)

The lpad resize mode behaves the same as the pad mode but only if the original image is larger than the specified limit (width and height), in which case the image is scaled down to fill the specified dimensions while retaining the original aspect ratio and with all of the original image visible. This mode doesn't scale up the image if your requested dimensions are bigger than the original image's. If the proportions of the original image do not match the specified dimensions, padding is added to the image to reach the required size. You can also specify where the original image is placed by using the gravity parameter (set to center by default), and specify the color of the background in the case that padding is added.

Example 1: Scale down and pad an image

Limit the sample image to a bounding box of 400 x 150 pixels, and pad with a green background:

mpad (minimum pad)

The mpad resize mode behaves the same as the pad mode but only if the original image is smaller than the specified minimum (width and height), in which case the image is unchanged but padding is added to fill the specified dimensions. This mode doesn't scale down the image if your requested dimensions are smaller than the original image's. You can also specify where the original image is placed by using the gravity parameter (set to center by default), and specify the color of the background in the case that padding is added.

Example 1: Pad an image to the specified width and height

Minimum pad the 100-pixel wide image sample_100 to a width and height of 200 pixels while retaining the aspect ratio:
