How to Use ImageCDN

ImageCDN's API is straightforward and user-friendly, making image optimization a breeze. The primary endpoint, GET /v2/image/{image}, is where the magic happens. Let's take a closer look at how you can leverage this API:

Examples

Suppose we have an image hosted on Unsplash and we want to resize it to 200x400 pixels:

https://imagecdn.app/v2/image/https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1540665569139-922f374b8657?width=200&height=400
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This example demonstrates how to use the API to fetch an image from a URL, resize it to the specified dimensions, and return the optimized version.

Query Parameters

When making a request to ImageCDN's API, you can customize the output using the following query parameters:

  • image: A URL-encoded link to the image you wish to process. The image must be accessible to the ImageCDN service.
  • height: The desired height of the image in pixels.
