Visual Effects
Background Color (b_{color}
)
Set background color for transparent images or padded areas:
- Accepts hex color codes without ’#’
- Use
transparent
for clear background - Commonly used with:
c_pad
crop mode- PNG images with transparency
- Rounded corners that expose background
Border (bo_{width_style_color}
)
Add borders to images with specific width, style, and color:
Parameters:
- Width: Specified in pixels (e.g.,
1px
,5px
) - Style:
solid
,dashed
,dotted
- Color: Hex color code without ’#’
Best practices:
- Use solid borders for clean, professional looks
- Consider border color contrast with image
- Keep border width proportional to image size
Corner Radius (r_{pixels}
)
Round image corners with flexible options:
Features:
- Single value applies to all corners
- Four values for individual corner control
- Special
max
value for circular images - Combines well with borders and background colors
Best practices:
- Use consistent radius across your design
- Consider
max
for profile pictures - Test with different image aspect ratios
Rotation (a_{degrees}
)
Rotate images by specific degrees:
Features:
- Accepts values from 0 to 360
- Common values: 90, 180, 270
- Maintains original image quality
- May change effective dimensions
Opacity (o_{percent}
)
Adjust image transparency:
Features:
- Range: 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque)
- Useful for watermarks and overlays
- Maintains image quality
- Works with all image formats
Best practices:
- Use higher values (70-90) for main images
- Use lower values (20-50) for watermarks
- Consider background when using transparency
Blur (blur_{radius}
)
Apply Gaussian blur effect:
Features:
- Radius range: 1-100
- Lower values for subtle effect
- Higher values for strong blur
- Maintains edge smoothness
Common uses:
- Background images
- Privacy protection
- Aesthetic effects
- Loading placeholders
Grayscale (e_grayscale
)
Convert image to black and white:
Features:
- Full grayscale conversion
- Maintains image contrast
- Works with all image formats
- Can be combined with other effects
Use cases:
- Classic photo effect
- Consistent visual style
- Reducing visual complexity
- Historical or vintage looks
