IMG - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Image Processing (IMG) is a secure, cost-effective, and highly reliable image processing service that is provided by Object Storage Service (OSS) to help you process images. After you upload source images to OSS, you can call RESTful API operations to process the images anytime, anywhere, and on any connected devices.

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

Use IMG parameters to process images

Use a single IMG parameter to process an image

Use an image style to process an image

You can create an image style in the OSS console and encapsulate multiple IMG parameters in the style. Then, you can use the style to process images. For more information, see Image styles.

The following sample code provides an example on how to use an image style to process an image:

        String pathName = "D:\\localpath\\example-new.jpg";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.

Save processed images

By default, IMG does not save processed images. You can call the ImgSaveAs operation to save the images to the bucket in which the source images are stored.

The following code provides an example on how to save a processed image:

Generate a signed object URL that includes IMG parameters

URLs of private objects must be signed. IMG parameters cannot be added to the end of a signed URL. If you want to process a private object, add IMG parameters to the signature. The following sample code provides an example on how to add IMG parameters to a signature:

import com.aliyun.oss.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.GeneratePresignedUrlRequest;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Date;

public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        // In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
        // Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
        String bucketName = "examplebucket";
        // Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. 
        String objectName = "exampleobject.jpg";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
        String region = "cn-hangzhou";

        // Create an OSSClient instance. 
        ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
        clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);        
        OSS ossClient = OSSClientBuilder.create()
        .endpoint(endpoint)
        .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
        .clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
        .region(region)               
        .build();

        try {
            // Resize the image to a height and width of 100 pixels, and rotate the image 90 degrees. 
            String style = "image/resize,m_fixed,w_100,h_100/rotate,90";
            // Set the validity period of the signed URL to 10 minutes. (The maximum validity period is 32400 seconds.)
            Date expiration = new Date(new Date().getTime() + 1000 * 60 * 10 );
            GeneratePresignedUrlRequest req = new GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(bucketName, objectName, HttpMethod.GET);
            req.setExpiration(expiration);
            req.setProcess(style);
            URL signedUrl = ossClient.generatePresignedUrl(req);
            System.out.println(signedUrl);
        } catch (OSSException oe) {
            System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
                    + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + oe.getErrorMessage());
            System.out.println("Error Code:" + oe.getErrorCode());
            System.out.println("Request ID:" + oe.getRequestId());
            System.out.println("Host ID:" + oe.getHostId());
        } catch (ClientException ce) {
            System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
                    + "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
                    + "such as not being able to access the network.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());
        } finally {
            if (ossClient != null) {
                ossClient.shutdown();
            }
        }
    }
}
