Images

To transform an image, you need to make a request with parameters. The service will create a new file, return it in response to the request, and save it to your storage.

For subsequent requests with the same parameters, the already created file will be returned.

Example:

// create a new image with a width of 100px while maintaining the aspect ratio
https://api.defaultuploader.com/v1/image/upload/token/sample.jpg?w=100

width

alias: w

Creates an image with the specified width while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.

min 0, max 5000
Width
w=100
Width
w=200
Width
w=300

height

alias: h

Creates an image with the specified height while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.

min 0, max 5000
Example image with parameters
