Appwrite enables the transformation of images before retrieval using the getFilePreview endpoint. This functionality supports resizing images by width and height, adjusting quality, and applying filters such as opacity, border colour, border radius, and more.
Origin Image
An "origin image" represents the original, unmodified image file in Appwrite Storage. Each origin image serves as the base for unlimited transformations, allowing the creation of multiple variants without incurring additional origin image charges.
How it works:
Upload an image to Appwrite Storage
Use the getFilePreview method to apply transformations to the image
Retrieve transformed images through the preview endpoint
Pay only for unique origin images, regardless of transformation count
For example, suppose there are around 100 images in storage. If only 50 of these images undergo transformations, but transformations are applied around 200 times, the origin image transformations are only 50 and not 200.
Pricing
Currently, this feature is unavailable on the free plan.
Pro and Scale plans include 100 origin images per month. Additional usage is available at $5 per 1000 origin images.
