About

This Utility API lets you crop images either in png, jpeg, jpg, bmp, tiff, gif or webp formats.
Cropping an image can improve its overall composition by removing distracting or irrelevant elements and focusing on the main subject.
This provides several other benefits like improved composition, adjusting aspect ratio, highlighting details, removing unwanted content, and saving storage space. It can be used to improve the visual impact of an image, make it more effective for a particular purpose, or reduce its file size.
Try the API in the playground now and discover how effortlessly you can optimize your images.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
