URL filters

URL filters output links to assets on Shopify's Content Delivery Network (CDN). They are also used to create links for filtering collections and blogs.

In many URL filter outputs, you will see a question mark (?) with a number appended to the asset's file path. This is the file's version number. For example, the version number in this URL is 28253:

//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0087/0462/t/394/assets/shop.css?28253

URL filters will always load the latest version of an asset.

img_url

Returns the URL of an image. Accepts image size parameters. You can use img_url on the following objects:

The img_url filter should be followed by the image size that you want to use. If you request a size smaller than your original image's dimensions, Shopify will scale the image for you.

If you don't include an image size, the filter returns a small (100x100) image.

Input

{{ product | img_url: '100x100' }}
{{ variant | img_url: '720x720' }}
{{ line_item | img_url: '1024x' }}
{{ product | img_url }}

Output

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1183/1048/products/boat-shoes_100x100.jpeg?v=1459175177
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1183/1048/products/boat-shoes_720x720.jpeg?v=1459175177

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1183/1048/products/boat-shoes_small.jpeg?v=1459175177

You can also use img_url on the image or src attributes of an object.

Input

{{ variant.image | img_url: '300x300' }}
{{ variant.image.src | img_url: '240x' }}

Output

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0159/3350/products/red_shirt_100x100.jpg?v=1398706734
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0159/3350/products/red_shirt_240x.jpg?v=1398706734

img_url can't transform icon files (.ico). If you specify a size or format for an icon file, img_url will return the original file.

Input

{{ settings.favicon | img_url: '300x300' }}
{{ settings.favicon | img_url: '240x', scale: 2, format: 'pjpg' }}

Output

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0159/3350/files/icon.ico?v=1398706734
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0159/3350/files/icon.ico?v=1398706734

Size parameters

You can specify exact dimensions in pixels for an image's width and height, up to a maximum of 5760 x 5760 px. The image's original aspect ratio will be preserved unless you crop the image.

No matter what size you specify, an image can never be resized to be larger than its original dimensions.

For example:

{{ product | img_url: '450x450' }}

You can specify only a width or only a height and Shopify will calculate the other dimension based on the original image size, keeping the original image's aspect ratio:

Width only

{{ product | img_url: '125x' }}

Height only

{{ product | img_url: 'x500' }}

If you don't want the image resized, you can get the original image size:

Original image size

{{ product | img_url: 'master' }}

Other image URL parameters

crop

You can specify a crop parameter to make sure that the resulting image's dimensions match the requested dimensions. If the entire image won't fit in your requested dimensions, the crop parameter specifies what part of the image to show. Valid options are:

top
center
bottom
left
right

{{ product | img_url: '400x400', crop: 'bottom' }}

If you don't use crop, Shopify will use the largest image that fits in your specified dimensions, which might not take up the whole space.

scale

The scale parameter lets you specify the pixel density of the image. Valid options are:

{{ product | img_url: '400x400', scale: 2 }}

format

The format parameter lets you specify what file format to use for the displayed image. Valid options are:

jpg
pjpg

{{ product | img_url: '400x400', format: 'pjpg' }}

pjpg is progressive JPEG. A browser loads a full-sized progressive JPEG with gradually increasing quality, instead of loading the full-quality image from top to bottom like a traditional JPEG.
