Transformation URL API Reference

Rotates or flips an asset by the specified number of degrees or automatically according to its orientation or available metadata. Multiple modes can be applied by concatenating their values with a dot.

a_<degrees>

Rotates an asset by the specified angle.

See also: Arithmetic expressions

Value	Type	Description
degrees	integer	The number of degrees to rotate the asset clockwise (positive value) or counter-clockwise (negative value). If the angle is not a multiple of 90, a rectangular bounding box is added containing the rotated asset.

Note

If either the width or height of an asset exceeds 3000 pixels, the asset is automatically downscaled first, and then rotated. This applies to the size of the asset that is the input to the rotation, whether that be the output of a previous chained transformation or the original asset size.

Use with: c_pad | c_lpad | c_mpad | c_fill_pad

Value Type Description

mode

constant

Value	Type	Description
mode	constant	The method to use for determining the solid or gradient color(s) to apply. Possible values: To automatically set the background to a single color: `border`: Selects the predominant color, taking only the image border pixels into account. `predominant`: Selects the predominant color while taking all pixels in the image into account. `border_contrast`: Selects the strongest contrasting color to the predominant color, taking only the image border pixels into account. `predominant_contrast`: Selects the strongest contrasting color to the predominant color while taking all pixels in the image into account. To automatically apply a gradient fade to the background with multiple colors: `predominant_gradient`: Bases the gradient fade effect on the predominant colors in the image. `predominant_gradient_contrast`: Bases the gradient fade effect on the colors that contrast the predominant colors in the image. `border_gradient`: Bases the gradient fade effect on the predominant colors in the border pixels of the image. `border_gradient_contrast`: Bases the gradient fade effect on the colors that contrast the predominant colors in the border pixels of the image. Default: `border`.
number	integer	Relevant only when setting `mode` to one of the 'gradient' options. The number of predominant colors to select. Possible values: `2`, `4`. Default: `2`.
direction	constant	Relevant only when setting `mode` to one of the 'gradient' options and when 2 colors are selected for the `number` option. Specifies the direction to blend the 2 colors together. (If 4 colors are selected, each gets interpolated between the four corners and this parameter is ignored.) Possible values: `horizontal`, `vertical`, `diagonal_desc`, `diagonal_asc`. Default: `horizontal`.

The method to use for determining the solid or gradient color(s) to apply.

Possible values:

To automatically set the background to a single color:

border: Selects the predominant color, taking only the image border pixels into account.

border_contrast: Selects the strongest contrasting color to the predominant color, taking only the image border pixels into account.
predominant_contrast: Selects the strongest contrasting color to the predominant color while taking all pixels in the image into account.

To automatically apply a gradient fade to the background with multiple colors:

predominant_gradient: Bases the gradient fade effect on the predominant colors in the image.
predominant_gradient_contrast: Bases the gradient fade effect on the colors that contrast the predominant colors in the image.
border_gradient: Bases the gradient fade effect on the predominant colors in the border pixels of the image.
border_gradient_contrast: Bases the gradient fade effect on the colors that contrast the predominant colors in the border pixels of the image.

Default: border.

Changes the size of the delivered asset according to the requested width & height dimensions.

Depending on the selected <crop mode>, parts of the original asset may be cropped out and/or the asset may be resized (scaled up or down).

When using any of the modes that can potentially crop parts of the asset, the selected gravity parameter controls which part of the original asset is kept in the resulting delivered file.

Learn more: Resizing and cropping images | Resizing and cropping videos

c_crop

Extracts the specified size from the original image without distorting or scaling the delivered asset.

By default, the center of the image is kept (extracted) and the top/bottom and/or side edges are evenly cropped to achieve the requested dimensions. You can specify the gravity qualifier to control which part of the image to keep, either as a compass direction (such as south or north_east), one of the special gravity positions (such as faces or ocr_text), AI-based automatic region detection or AI-based object detection.

You can also specify a specific region of the original image to keep by specifying x and y qualifiers together with w (width) and h (height) qualifiers to define an exact bounding box. When using this method, and no gravity is specified, the x and y coordinates are relative to the top-left (north-west) corner of the original asset. 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 only when you already have the required absolute cropping coordinates. For example, you might use this if your application allows a user to upload user-generated content, and your application allows the user to manually select a region to crop from the original image, and you pass those coordinates to build the crop URL.

Required qualifiers

Two of the following: w (width) | h (height) | ar (aspect ratio)

(In rare cases, you may choose to provide only one sizing qualifier)

Optional qualifiers

c_fill

Creates an asset with the exact specified width and height without distorting the asset. This option first scales 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 asset you want to keep if cropping occurs using the gravity (set to 'center' by default).

Required qualifiers

At least one of the following: w (width) | h (height) | ar (aspect ratio)

(In rare cases, you may choose to provide only one sizing qualifier)

c_fill_pad

Tries to prevent a "bad crop" by first attempting to use the fill mode, but adding some padding if the algorithm determines that more of the original image needs to be included in the final image, or if more content in specific frames in a video should be shown. Especially useful if the aspect ratio of the delivered asset is considerably different from the original's aspect ratio. Supported only in conjunction with g_auto.

Required qualifiers

g_auto

And

Two of the following: w (width) | h (height) | ar (aspect ratio)

(In rare cases, you may choose to provide only one sizing qualifier)

Optional qualifiers

b (background)

Example

Deliver an image as a 25x150 image using the fill_pad mode. (w_25,h_150,c_fill_pad,g_auto,b_auto).
Compare this to the same image delivered using the regular fill mode (shown below on the right).

This mode doesn't scale up the asset if your requested dimensions are bigger than the original asset size. Instead, if the proportions of the original asset do not match the requested width and height, padding is added to the asset to reach the required size. You can also specify where the original asset is placed by using the gravity parameter (set to center by default). Additionally, you can specify the color of the background in the case that padding is added.

The mfit (minimum fit) mode is the same as fit 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 width and height parameters. The original aspect ratio is retained (by default) 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.

Required qualifiers

Two of the following: w (width) | h (height) | ar (aspect ratio)

(In rare cases, you may choose to provide only one sizing qualifier)

Example

Request to fit a large image to a minimum width and height of 20 pixels while retaining the aspect ratio. This results in delivering the original image without resizing it (w_20,h_20,c_mfit):

c_mpad

The mpad (minimum pad) mode is the same as pad but only if the original image is smaller than the specified minimum (width and height), in which case the image is scaled up to fill the specified width and height while retaining the original aspect ratio (by default) and with all of the original image visible. This mode doesn't scale down the image if your requested dimensions are smaller than the original image size. If the proportions of the original image do not match the specified width and height, 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). Additionally, you can specify the color of the background in the case that padding is added.

c_thumb

Creates image thumbnails from either face-detection or custom coordinates. Must always be accompanied by the g (gravity) parameter set to one of the face detection or on of the g_custom values. This cropping mode generates a thumbnail of an image with the exact specified width and height dimensions and with the original proportions retained, but the resulting image might be scaled to fit in the specified dimensions. You can specify the z (zoom) parameter to determine how much to scale the resulting image within the specified width and height.

Required qualifiers

cs_<color space type>

Controls the color space used for the delivered image or video. If you don't include this parameter in your transformation, the color space of the original asset is generally retained. In some cases for videos, the color space is normalized for web delivery, unless cs_copy is specified.

Value Type Description

color space type

constant

Value	Type	Description
color space type	constant	Required. The color space type to use when delivering the image or video. Possible values: `sRGB`: Renders the image or video in the sRGB color space. `tinysrgb`: Renders the image or video using Facebook's truncated sRGB color space. `cmyk`: Renders the image or video in the CMYK color space. `no_cmyk`: If the original image or video used the CMYK color space, converts it to sRGB. `keep_cmyk`: Retains the CMYK color space when generating derived images or videos. `srgb:truecolor`: Image only. Encodes the image as RGB, rather than palette or grayscale. Not applicable when using q_auto. `cs_icc:[public_id]`: Image only. Renders the image using the specified color space (icc) file. The icc file must be uploaded to your account as a raw and authenticated file. Specify the public ID of your icc file including the file extension. `copy`: Video only. Retains the original color space of the video. This prevents the color space from being normalized when the video is re-encoded by Cloudinary if another transformation is applied.

Required. The color space type to use when delivering the image or video.

Possible values:

sRGB: Renders the image or video in the sRGB color space.
tinysrgb: Renders the image or video using Facebook's truncated sRGB color space.

dn_<dots per inch>

Controls the density to use when delivering an image or when converting a vector file such as a PDF or EPS document to a web image delivery format.

For web image formats: By default, if an image does not contain resolution information in its embedded metadata, Cloudinary normalizes any derived images for web optimization purposes and delivers them at 150 dpi. Controlling the dpi can be useful when generating a derived image intended for printing.
Tip
You can take advantage of the idn (initial density) value to automatically set the density of your image to the (pre-normalized) initial density of the original image (for example, dn_idn). This value is taken from the original image's metadata.
For vector files (PDF, EPS, etc.): When you deliver a vector file in a web image format, it is delivered by default at 150 dpi.

See also: Arithmetic expressions

Value	Type	Description
dots per inch	integer	Required. The dpi of the delivered image. Range: `1 to 300`.

Example

Deliver a JPEG image of the first page of the PDF file with a density of 20 (dn_20):

Sets the device pixel ratio (DPR) for the delivered image or video using a specified value or automatically based on the requesting device.

dpr_<pixel ratio>

Delivers the image or video in the specified device pixel ratio.

Important

When delivering at a DPR value larger than 1, ensure that you also set the desired final display dimensions in your image or video tag. For example, if you set h_300,dpr_2 in your delivery URL, you should also set height=300 in your image tag. Otherwise, the image will be delivered at 2.0 x the requested dimensions (a height of 600px in this example).

Learn more: Set Device Pixel Ratio (DPR)

See also: Arithmetic expressions

Value	Type	Description
pixel ratio	float	Required. A positive value for the device pixel ratio to use when delivering the image or video.

Example

Deliver the image with a dpr of 2.0 (dpr_2.0).

Note

While the code example below shows only the transformation URL, the image tag for the displayed inline image includes a hard-coded height definition in the image tag, to ensure that the doubled-DPR is still delivered within a display of 150px. If you view just the transformed dpr_2 URL outside the image tag, it displays with a height of 300px.

<img title="Deliver the image with a dpr of 2.0" 
    alt="Deliver the image with a dpr of 2.0"

Red and green colors changed to purple and yellow

e_bgremoval[:screen][:<background color>]

Makes the background of an image transparent (or solid white for JPGs). Use when the background is a uniform color.

Value	Type	Description
screen	keyword	If `screen` is specified, provides better results for images with near perfect green/blue background.
background color	string	The background color as an RGB/A hex code. Overrides the algorithm's choice of background color. Default: The algorithm's choice - often the edge color of the image.

Tips

If the background is not uniform, you can also try the e_make_transparent effect.
If neither e_bgremoval nor e_make_transparent give the desired result, it's recommended to try the Cloudinary AI Background Removal add-on.
You can also try the Pixelz Remove the Background add-on for professional manual background removal.
