  The [`url`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/objects/Image#field-Image.fields.url) field accepts an [`ImageTransformInput`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/input-objects/ImageTransformInput) argument for resizing, cropping, scaling for retina displays, and converting between image formats. Use the [`thumbhash`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/objects/Image#field-Image.fields.thumbhash) field to display lightweight placeholders while images load.

* [Image​Transform​Input.preferredContentType](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/unstable/input-objects/ImageTransformInput#fields-preferredContentType)

  INPUT OBJECT

  The available options for transforming an image.

  All transformation options are considered best effort. Any transformation that the original image type doesn't support will be ignored.
