  }
}
image_size_attributesboolean#

This key toggles whether CloudCannon will instruct a rich text editor to save width and height attributes on image elements.

Setting this key to true will instruct the rich text editor to save width and height attributes on image elements. This can prevent pop-in as a page loads.

By default, this key is false (i.e., width and height attributes are not saved on image elements). This defaults to true if the Image Size Attributes site flag is enabled (this is enabled for sites created before June 23 2023, in order to keep those sites working).

Defaults to: true

Appears in: Rich Text Input options, URL Input options, File Input options, _editables.content, _editables.block, _editables.image.

mime_typestring#

This key defines what format an image is converted to prior to upload.

Allowed values: image/jpeg image/png image/webp

Appears in: Rich Text Input options, URL Input options, File Input options, _editables.content, _editables.block, _editables.image.

      }
    }
  }
}
resize_stylestring#

This key defines how image files are resized prior to upload, using a bounding box defined by width and height options (these optionas are required). This key applies to existing images unless prevent_resize_existing_files is set. Setting this key to cover keeps aspect ratio and ensures the image covers the bounding box, contain keeps aspect ratio and ensures the image fits inside the bounding box, crop prompts the user with an interface to select an aspect-ratio-respecting area, and stretch ignores aspect ratio and resizes the image to the bounding box.

Defaults to: contain

Allowed values: cover contain stretch crop

Appears in: Rich Text Input options, URL Input options, File Input options, _editables.content, _editables.block, _editables.image.

In this example, we have configured an Image Input to resize images using the cover style to ensure images cover the bounding box while maintaining aspect ratio.
