sepia

The sepia transformation applies a classic sepia tone effect, giving images a warm, brown-tinted vintage appearance. Perfect for creating nostalgic galleries, photo albums, or achieving a classic film-like aesthetic. Control intensity to make the effect subtle or dramatic.

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/sepia:intensity=AMOUNT/ASSET_ID.jpg

Examples

Standard Sepia Tone

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/sepia/ASSET_ID.jpg

Subtle Sepia (Low Intensity)

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/sepia:intensity=0.3/ASSET_ID.jpg

Medium Sepia

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/sepia:intensity=0.6/ASSET_ID.jpg

Strong Sepia

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/sepia:intensity=1.0/ASSET_ID.jpg

Very Strong Sepia (Antique Look)

curl -i GET https://media.vyso.io/sepia:intensity=1.5/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.
