WebP image size: The input image cannot be larger than 32 MB. Its dimensions cannot exceed 16,383 pixels and its resolution cannot exceed 250 million pixels. The dimensions of the output image cannot exceed 16,383 pixels.
Animated image size: For the input or output image, the total number of pixels (width x height x number of frames) cannot exceed 250 million pixels.

Parameters

Operation: strip
Parameter
Description
ObjectKey
Object name, such as folder/sample.jpg.
/ignore-error/1
If this parameter is carried and the image failed to be processed because it is too large, the input image will be returned with no error reported.

Examples

Note:
Processing upon download is used as an example here, which does not store the output image in a bucket. If you need to store the output image, see Persistent Image Processing and use Processing upon upload or Processing in-cloud data.

Example 1: Public-read

http://examples-1251000004.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/sample.jpeg?imageMogr2/strip

Example 2: Private-read with a signature carried

This example processes the image in the same way as in the example above except that a signature is carried. The signature is joined with other processing parameters using an ampersand (&).
http://examples-1251000004.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/sample.jpeg?q-sign-algorithm=<signature>&imageMogr2/strip
Note:
You can obtain the value of <signature> by referring to Request Signature.

Notes

To prevent unauthorized users from accessing or downloading the input image by using a URL that does not contain any processing parameter, you can add the processing parameters to the request signature, making the processing parameters the key of the parameter with the value left empty. The following is a simple example for your reference (it might not be valid or accessible anymore). For more information, please see Request Signature.
