Tachyon provides a simple HTTP interface in the form of:
https://{tachyon-domain}/my/image/path/on/s3.png?w=100&h=80
It's really that simple!
| URL Arg | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
w |
Number | Max width of the image. |
h |
Number | Max height of the image. |
quality |
Number, 0-100 | Image quality. |
resize |
String, "w,h" | A comma separated string of the target width and height in pixels. Crops the image. |
crop_strategy |
String, "smart", "entropy", "attention" | There are 3 automatic cropping strategies for use with resize:
|
gravity |
String | Alternative to crop_strategy. Crops are made from the center of the image by default, passing one of "north", "northeast", "east", "southeast", "south", "southwest", "west", "northwest" or "center" will crop from that edge. |
fit |
String, "w,h" | A comma separated string of the target maximum width and height. Does not crop the image. |
crop |
Boolean|String, "x,y,w,h" | Crop an image by percentages x-offset, y-offset, width and height (x,y,w,h). Percentages are used so that you don’t need to recalculate the cropping when transforming the image in other ways such as resizing it. You can crop by pixel values too by appending px to the values. crop=160px,160px,788px,788px takes a 788 by 788 pixel square starting at 160 by 160. |
zoom |
Number | Zooms the image by the specified amount for high DPI displays. zoom=2 produces an image twice the size specified in w, h, fit or resize. The quality is automatically reduced to keep file sizes roughly equivalent to the non-zoomed image unless the quality argument is passed. |
webp |
Boolean, 1 | Force WebP format. |
lb |
String, "w,h" | Add letterboxing effect to images, by scaling them to width, height while maintaining the aspect ratio and filling the rest with black or background. |
background |
String | Add background color via name (red) or hex value (%23ff0000). Don't forget to escape # as %23. |
