This document lists and describes the full list of options available to be passed as parameters in the URL.
For server options check the server options
The server is setup to perform operations based on the following URL pattern.
https://server.address.io/process-type/image_options/path_to_image
for example:
https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/w_500/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
Explanation from end-to-begining
It's the first operation the server does, it will try to get an image from the URI in the path, it can be relative to the local server, or absolute to the internet.
example: https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
Here you set all the transformations and output settings you want to apply to the image you are fetching.
Most of these options are ImageMagick flags, many can get pretty advanced, use the ImageMagick docs. We put a lot of defaults in place to prevent distortion, bad quality, weird cropping and unwanted paddings.
The script does a lot of sanitizing of the parameters, so many options will not work or have to be carefullly escaped. Priority is given to safety and eas of use.
int
Default: null
Description: Sets the target width of the image. If not set, width will be calculated in order to keep aspect ratio.
example:w_100
w_100
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/w_100/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
int
Default: null
Description: Sets the target height of the image. If not set, height will be calculated in order to keep aspect ratio.
example:h_100
h_100
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/h_100/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
example:h_300,w_300
By default setting width and height together, works like defining a rectangle that will define a max-width and max-height and the image will scale propotionally to fit that area without cropping.
By default; width, height, or both will not scale up an image that is smaller than the defined dimensions.
h_300,w_300
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/h_300,w_300/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
bool
Default: false
Description: When both width and height are set, this allows the image to be cropped so it fills the width x height area.
example:c_1
c_1,h_400,w_400
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/c_1,h_400,w_400/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
string
Default: Center
Description: When crop is applied, changing the gravity will define which part of the image is kept inside the crop area.
The basic options are: NorthWest
, North
, NorthEast
, West
, Center
, East
, SouthWest
, South
, SouthEast
.
example:g_West
string
Default: null
Description: Apply image rotation (using shear operations) to the image.
example: r_90
, r_-180
,...
r_45
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/r_-45,w_400,h_400/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
string
Default: auto
Description: Output format requested, for example you can force the output as jpeg file in case of source file is png. The default auto
will try to output the best format for the requesting browser, falling back to the same format as the source image or finally with a fallback to jpg.
If input
is passed, no "optimal" format will be attempted. Flyimg will try to respond with the source format or fallback to jpg
.
example:o_auto
,o_input
,o_png
,o_webp
,o_jpeg
,o_jpg
int
(0-100)
Default: 90
Description: Sets the compression level for the output image. Your best results will be between 70 and 95.
example:q_100
,q_75
,...
q_30
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/q_20,w_600/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
q_100
: https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/q_100,w_600/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
int
Default: 0
Description: If output is set to webp, it will default to lossy compression, but if you want lossless webp encoding you have to set it to 1.
example:webpl_1
Default: false
Description: When this parameter is 1, it will force a re-request of the original image and run it throught the transformations and compression again. It will delete the local cached copy.
example:rf_1
The nginx server will send headers to prevent caching of this request.
It will also send headers with the command done on the image + info returned by the command identity from Imagemagik.
color
(multiple formats)
Default: null
Description: Sets the background of the canvas for the cases where padding is added to the images. It supports hex, css color names, rgb.
Only css color names are supported without quotation marks.
For the hex code, the hash #
character should be replaced by %23
example:bg_red
,bg_%23ff4455
,bg_rgb(255,120,100)
,...
[...] -background red ...
[...] -background "#ff4455" -> "%23ff4455"
[...] -background "rgb(255,120,100)" ...
https://oi.flyimg.io/upload/r_45,w_400,h_400,bg_red/https://m0.cl/t/butterfly-3000.jpg
int
Default: 1
Description: removes exif data and additional color profile. Leaving your image with the default sRGB color profile.
example:st_1
int
Default: null
Description: The alternative resizing method to -thumbnail.

Default: 1
Description: Use moz-jpeg compression library, if 0
it fallsback to the default ImageMagick compression algorithm.
{radius}x{sigma}[+gain][+threshold]
Default: null
Description: Sharpens an image (despite the unfortunate naming). It basically sharpens via subtracting a blurred, low contrast, version of the image to the image itself. For more details check Imagemagick docs.
example 1:unsh_0x6
example 2:unsh_0.25x0.25+8+0.065
{radius}x{sigma}
Default: null
Description: Use a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). For more details check Imagemagick docs.
example 1:sh_3
example 2:sh_0x5
{radius}x{sigma}
Default: null

string
Default: Lanczos
Description: Resizing algorithm, Triangle is a smoother lighter option

Default: null
Description: The "-scale" resize operator is a simplified, faster form of the resize command. Useful for fast exact scaling of pixels.
example:sc_1
int
Default: 0
Description: Using facedetect repository to detect faces and passe the coordinates to ImageMagick to crop.
example:fc_1

int
Default: 1

int
Default: 0

There are 2 main proceses you can do for images.
The first: upload, grabs an image from a URL, transforms it, saves it, and serves it, as an image, with all the apropiate headers.
The second: path, grabs an image from a URL, transforms it, saves it, and returns the absolute path to the image as a string, in the body of the response.
