Overview

The Image Proxy API fetches and transforms images from decentralized storage protocols like Arweave and IPFS. It acts as a proxy that:
  • Converts ar:// and ipfs:// URLs to fetchable gateway URLs
  • Resizes images to specified dimensions without enlargement
  • Converts images to optimized formats (WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG)
  • Returns immutable cache headers for efficient caching

Supported URL Formats

ProtocolFormatExample
Arweavear://ar://abc123xyz...
IPFSipfs://ipfs://QmXyz...
HTTPShttps://https://arweave.net/abc123...

Image Transformation

When w (width) or h (height) parameters are provided, the image is resized to fit within the specified dimensions using the inside fit strategy, meaning:
  • The image will never be enlarged beyond its original size
  • Aspect ratio is preserved
  • The image fits within the bounding box defined by w and h

Example Usage

Basic Request

curl "https://api.inprocess.world/api/media/image?url=ar://your-arweave-tx-id"

With Resize and Format Conversion

curl "https://api.inprocess.world/api/media/image?url=ar://your-arweave-tx-id&w=400&h=400&f=webp&q=85"

In an HTML Image Element

<img
  src="https://api.inprocess.world/api/media/image?url=ar://your-arweave-tx-id&w=600&f=webp"
  alt="Moment artwork"
/>

Query Parameters

url
string
required

The URL of the image to fetch. Supports Arweave (ar://), IPFS (ipfs://), and HTTPS URLs.

w
integer

Target width in pixels. The image will be resized to fit within this width without enlargement.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 4096
h
integer

Target height in pixels. The image will be resized to fit within this height without enlargement.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 4096
q
integer
default:80

Image quality (1-100). Higher values produce better quality but larger files.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 100
f
enum<string>
default:webp

Output image format.

Available options:
webp,
avif,
jpeg,
png

Response

Processed image returned

The response is of type file.
