| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| w | Specify the width. |
| h | Specify the height. |
| ar | Aspect ratio of output, when either width or height is specified. |
| c | Cropping method. Accepts force, at_max, and at_least. |
| cm | Crop mode. Supports extract and pad_resize. |
| fo | Relative focus area used during cropping. Accpets center, top, left, bottom, right, top_left, top_right, bottom_left and bottom_right. |
| b | This adds a border to the image. It accepts two parameters - the width of the border and the color of the border in format b-<border-width>-<hex code> |
| bg | It is used to specify the background that can be used along with some cropping strategies while resizing or applying border-radius (r). You can choose either a solid color (using standard-browser-colors, RGB hex code, or RGBA hex code to specify color) or a blurred version of the image (using the syntax blurred[_<BlurIntensity>][_<Brightness>]). Example: bg-red, bg-AAFF00, bg-AAFF0010, bg-blurred, bg-blurred_25_N15. |
| r | It is used to control the radius of the corner. To get a circle or oval shape, set the value to max. (Background color can be specified with bg parameter) |
