implode

The implode transformation applies an implosion distortion effect that pulls pixels toward the center of the image, creating a funnel or vortex appearance. Useful for creating dramatic visual effects or artistic distortions.

Serving Content via CDN

The Media API is a CDN-based service that serves transformed images via GET requests. When you request a transformed image URL, the transformation is applied dynamically on the first request and then cached for subsequent requests.

URL Pattern

https://media.vyso.io/implode:factor=FACTOR/ASSET_ID.jpg

Examples

Subtle Implosion (0.2)

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/implode:factor=0.2/ASSET_ID.jpg

Standard Implode Effect

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/implode:factor=0.5/ASSET_ID.jpg

Strong Implosion (0.8)

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/implode:factor=0.8/ASSET_ID.jpg

Maximum Implode Effect (1.0)

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/implode:factor=1.0/ASSET_ID.jpg

On the first request, you'll receive a X-Cache: MISS header while the transformation is applied and cached. Subsequent requests will return X-Cache: HIT.

Parameters

factorOPTIONAL

Strength of the implosion effect. Accepted values:

  • Range: 0.0 to 1.0+
  • 0.2 - Subtle inward pull
  • 0.5 - Standard implode (default)
  • 0.8 - Strong implosion vortex
  • 1.0 - Maximum implosion effect
  • Positive values implode inward; negative values explode outward

Response

The API returns the implode-distorted image. The response format depends on the format of the asset stored in the Vyso asset cloud.

Content-Type: Determined by the stored asset format (e.g., image/jpeg, image/png)
