Attributes

Now you saw an example of an Image object, let’s dive into the attributes that make up the object.

id
image_{string}

The unique identifier of the image. This identifier is used to reference the image in subsequent requests.

name
string

The name of the image. This name is provided when uploading the image and is the way the image is identified in your account. It is not unique, in fact, each transformation you make to an image will create a new image with the same name.

url

The public URL of the image. By default, this URL is not available and will be null. You can make the image public by using the publish endpoint. Once the image is public, the URL will be updated with the public URL.

The width of the image in pixels.

height
integer

The height of the image in pixels.

format
jpeg | png | webp

The format of the image. The format can be one of the following: jpeg, png, webp.

We are constantly adding new formats to the API, so make sure to check the latest documentation for the most up-to-date list of supported formats.

size

The estimated size of the image in bytes. The size is an estimate and may not be exact since images can be compressed or optimized depending on the format and quality settings used during processing.

created_at
