Getting the image info
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/%info_options/plain/%source_url
/info/%signature/%info_options/%encoded_source_url
Signature
⚠️ Warning: The signature part should always be present in a URL. If the signature check is disabled (no key/salt pairs are provided), the signature part may contain anything (for example, unsafe
or _
).
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.
Info options
Info options should be specified as URL parts divided by slashes (/
). An info option has the following format:
%option_name:%argument1:%argument2:...:argumentN
Size
