Image Processing (IMG) is a massive, secure, cost-effective and highly reliable image processing service. After source images are uploaded to OSS, you can process images on any Internet device at any anytime, from anywhere through simple RESTful APIs.

For more information about IMG, see Image Processing. For the complete code of image processing, see GitHub.

Basic features

OSS offers the following IMG features:

Usage

IMG uses standard HTTP GET. You can configure IMG parameters in QueryString of a URL.

If the ACL of an image object is private read and write, only authorized users are allowed for access.

  • Anonymous access

    You can use the following format in level-3 domains to access a processed image:

    http://<yourBucketName>.<yourEndpoint>/<yourObjectName>?x-oss-process=image/<yourAction>,<yourParamValue>
    Parameter Description
    bucket Specifies the name of a bucket.
    endpoint Specifies endpoint used to access a region.
    object Specifies the name of an image object.
    image Specifies the reserved identifier for IMG.
    action Specifies the operations on an image, such as scaling, cropping, and rotating.
    param Specifies the parameter that indicates the operation on an image.
    • Basic operations

      For example, scale an image to a width of 100 PX. Adjust the height based on the ratio.

      http://image-demo.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/example.jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_100
    • Customized image styles

      You can use the following format in level-3 domains to access a processed image:

      http://<yourBucketName>.<yourEndpoint>/<yourObjectName>?x-oss-process=style/<yourStyleName>
      • style: specifies a reserved identifier of a customized image style.
      • yourStyleName: specifies the name of a custom image style. It is the name specified in the rule that is created on the OSS console.

      Example:

      http://image-demo.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/example.jpg?x-oss-process=style/oss-pic-style-w-100
    • Cascade operations

      Cascade operations allow you to perform multiple operations on an image sequentially.

      http://<yourBucketName>.<yourEndpoint>/<yourObjectName>?x-oss-process=image/<yourAction1>,<yourParamValue1>/<yourAction2>,<yourParamValue2>/...

      Example:

      http://image-demo.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/example.jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_100/rotate,90
    • HTTPS access

      IMG supports access through HTTPS. Example:

      https://image-demo.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/example.jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_100
  • Authorized access

    Authorized access allows you to customize an image style, HTTPS access, and cascade operations.

    Run the following code to generate a signed URL for IMG:

    <? php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\OssClient;

// It is highly risky to log on with AccessKey of an Alibaba Cloud account because the account has permissions on all the APIs in OSS. We recommend that you log on as a RAM user to access APIs or perform routine operations and maintenance. To create a RAM account, log on to https://ram.console.aliyun.com.
$accessKeyId = "<yourAccessKeyId>";
$accessKeySecret = "<yourAccessKeySecret>";
// This example uses endpoint China East 1 (Hangzhou). Specify the actual endpoint based on your requirements.
$endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";
$object = "<yourObjectName>";

$ossClient = new OssClient($accessKeyId, $accessKeySecret, $endpoint);

// Generate a signed URL that is valid for 3600 seconds and can be directly accessed by browsers.
$timeout = 3600;
$options = array(
    OssClient::OSS_PROCESS => "image/resize,m_lfit,h_100,w_100" );
$signedUrl = $ossClient->signUrl($bucket, $object, $timeout, "GET", $options);

print("rtmp url: \n" . $signedUrl);
  • Access with SDK

    You can use SDK to access and process an image object.

    SDK allows you to customize image styles, HTTPS access, and cascade operations.

    • Basic operations

      Run the following code to perform basic operations on an image:

      <? php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\OssClient;

// It is highly risky to log on with AccessKey of an Alibaba Cloud account because the account has permissions on all APIs in OSS.

$options = array(
    OssClient::OSS_FILE_DOWNLOAD => $download_file,
    OssClient::OSS_PROCESS => "image/info" );
$ossClient->getObject($bucket, $object, $options);

// Delete the sample image.
$ossClient->deleteObject($bucket, $object);
    • Customize an image style

      Run the following code to customize an image style:

      <? php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

    OssClient::OSS_PROCESS => $style);
$ossClient->getObject($bucket, $object, $options);

// Delete the sample image.
$ossClient->deleteObject($bucket, $object);
    • Cascade operations

      Use the following code to perform cascade operations on an image:

      <? php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
