Getting the image infopro

imgproxy can fetch and return a source image info without downloading the whole image.

URL format

To get the image info, use the following URL format:

/info/%signature/plain/%source_url
/info/%signature/%encoded_source_url

Signature

A signature protects your URL from being modified by an attacker. It is highly recommended to sign imgproxy URLs in a production environment.

Once you set up your URL signature, check out the Signing the URL guide to learn about how to sign your URLs. Otherwise, since the signature is required, feel free to use any string here.

Source URL

Plain

The source URL can be provided as is, prepended by /plain/ part:

/plain/http://example.com/images/curiosity.jpg

📝Note: If the source URL contains a query string or @, you'll need to escape it.

Base64 encoded

The source URL can be encoded with URL-safe Base64. The encoded URL can be split with / as desired:

/aHR0cDovL2V4YW1w/bGUuY29tL2ltYWdl/cy9jdXJpb3NpdHku/anBn

Encrypted with AES-CBC

The source URL can be encrypted with the AES-CBC algorithm, prepended by the /enc/ segment. The encrypted URL can be split with / as desired:

/enc/jwV3wUD9r4VBIzgv/ang3Hbh0vPpcm5cc/VO5rHxzonpvZjppG/2VhDnX2aariBYegH/jlhw_-dqjXDMm4af/ZDU6y5sBog

Response format

imgproxy responses with a JSON body and returns the following info:

  • format: source image/video format. In case of video - list of predicted formats divided by comma
  • width: image/video width
  • height: image/video height
  • size: file size. Can be zero if the image source doesn't set Content-Length header properly
  • exif: Exif data
  • iptc: IPTC data
  • video_meta: metadata from the video

📝Note: There are lots of IPTC tags in the spec, but imgproxy supports only a few of them. If you need some tags to be supported, just contact us.

Example (JPEG)

{
  "format": "jpeg",
  "width": 7360,
