+## Image Resources
+
+To process an image, you must access the image as either a page resource or a global resource.
+
+### Page Resources
+
+A page resource is a file within a [page bundle]. A page bundle is a directory with an `index.md` or `_index.md` file at its root.
+
+```text
+content/
+└── posts/
+ └── post-1/ <-- page bundle
+ ├── index.md
+ └── sunset.jpg <-- page resource
+```
+
+To access an image as a page resource:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+```
+
+### Global Resources
+
+A global resource is a file:
+
+- Within the `assets` directory, or
+- Within any directory [mounted] to the `assets` directory, or
+- Located on a remote server accessible via `http` or `https`
+
+```text
+assets/
+└── images/
+ └── sunset.jpg <-- global resource
+```
+
+To access a local image as a global resource:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := resources.Get "images/sunset.jpg" }}
+```
+
+To access a remote image as a global resource:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := resources.GetRemote "https://gohugo.io/img/hugo-logo.png" }}
+```
+
+## Image Rendering
+
+Once you have accessed an image as either a page resource or a global resource, render it in your templates using the `Permalink`, `RelPermalink`, `Width`, and `Height` properties.
+
+Example 1: Throws an error if the resource is not found.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+<img src="{{ $image.RelPermalink }}" width="{{ $image.Width }}" height="{{ $image.Height }}">
+```
+
+Example 2: Skips image rendering if the resource is not found.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+{{ with $image }}
+ <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}">
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+Example 3: A more concise way to skip image rendering if the resource is not found.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+ <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}">
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+## Image Processing Methods
+
+The `image` resource implements the `Resize`, `Fit`, `Fill`, `Crop`, `Filter`, and `Exif` methods.
+
+{{% note %}}
+Metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP, etc.) is not preserved during image transformation. Use the`Exif` method with the _original_ image to extract Exif metadata from JPEG or TIFF images.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+### Resize
+
+Resize an image to the specified width and/or height.
+
+If you specify both width and height, the resulting image will be disproportionally scaled unless the original image has the same aspect ratio.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{/* Resize to a width of 600px and preserve aspect ratio */}}
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "600x" }}
+
+{{/* Resize to a height of 400px and preserve aspect ratio */}}
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "x400" }}
+
+{{/* Resize to a width of 600px and a height of 400px */}}
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "600x400" }}
+```
+
+### Fit
+
+Downscale an image to fit the given dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio. You must provide both width and height.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image.Fit "600x400" }}
+```
+
+### Fill
+
+Crop and resize an image to match the given dimensions. You must provide both width and height. Use the [`anchor`] option to change the crop box anchor point.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image.Fill "600x400" }}
+```
+
+### Crop
+
+Crop an image to match the given dimensions without resizing. You must provide both width and height. Use the [`anchor`] option to change the crop box anchor point.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image.Crop "600x400" }}
+```
+
+### Filter
+
+Apply one or more [filters] to an image.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image.Filter (images.GaussianBlur 6) (images.Pixelate 8) }}
+```
+
+Write this in a more functional style using pipes. Hugo applies the filters in the order given.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image | images.Filter (images.GaussianBlur 6) (images.Pixelate 8) }}
+```
+
+Sometimes it can be useful to create the filter chain once and then reuse it.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $filters := slice (images.GaussianBlur 6) (images.Pixelate 8) }}
+{{ $image1 := $image1.Filter $filters }}
+{{ $image2 := $image2.Filter $filters }}
+```
+
+### Exif
+
+Provides an [Exif] object containing image metadata.
+
+You may access Exif data in JPEG and TIFF images. To prevent errors when processing images without Exif data, wrap the access in a `with` statement.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with $image.Exif }}
+ Date: {{ .Date }}
+ Lat/Long: {{ .Lat }}/{{ .Long }}
+ Tags:
+ {{ range $k, $v := .Tags }}
+ TAG: {{ $k }}: {{ $v }}
+ {{ end }}
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+You may also access Exif fields individually, using the [`lang.FormatNumber`] function to format the fields as needed.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with $image.Exif }}
+ <ul>
+ {{ with .Date }}<li>Date: {{ .Format "January 02, 2006" }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.ApertureValue }}<li>Aperture: {{ lang.FormatNumber 2 . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.BrightnessValue }}<li>Brightness: {{ lang.FormatNumber 2 . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.ExposureTime }}<li>Exposure Time: {{ . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.FNumber }}<li>F Number: {{ . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.FocalLength }}<li>Focal Length: {{ . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.ISOSpeedRatings }}<li>ISO Speed Ratings: {{ . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ {{ with .Tags.LensModel }}<li>Lens Model: {{ . }}</li>{{ end }}
+ </ul>
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+#### Exif Variables
+
+.Date
+: Image creation date/time. Format with the [time.Format] function.
+
+.Lat
+: GPS latitude in degrees.
+
+.Long
+: GPS longitude in degrees.
+
+.Tags
+: A collection of the available Exif tags for this image. You may include or exclude specific tags from this collection in the [site configuration](#exif-data).
+
+## Image Processing Options
+
+The `Resize`, `Fit`, `Fill`, and `Crop` methods accept a space-separated, case-insensitive list of options. The order of the options within the list is irrelevant.
+
+### Dimensions
+
+With the `Resize` method you must specify width, height, or both. The `Fit`, `Fill`, and `Crop` methods require both width and height. All dimensions are in pixels.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "600x" }}
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "x400" }}
+{{ $image := $image.Resize "600x400" }}
+{{ $image := $image.Fit "600x400" }}
+{{ $image := $image.Fill "600x400" }}
+{{ $image := $image.Crop "600x400" }}
+```
+
+### Rotation
+
+Rotates an image counter-clockwise by the given angle. Hugo performs rotation _before_ scaling. For example, if the original image is 600x400 and you wish to rotate the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise while scaling it by 50%:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image = $image.Resize "200x r90" }}
+```
+
+In the example above, the width represents the desired width _after_ rotation.
+
+To rotate an image without scaling, use the dimensions of the original image:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+ {{ with .Resize (printf "%dx%d r90" .Height .Width) }}
+ <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}">
+ {{ end }}
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+In the example above, on the second line, we have reversed width and height to reflect the desired dimensions _after_ rotation.
+
+### Anchor
+
+When using the `Crop` or `Fill` method, the _anchor_ determines the placement of the crop box. You may specify `TopLeft`, `Top`, `TopRight`, `Left`, `Center`,`Right`, `BottomLeft`, `Bottom`, `BottomRight`, or `Smart`.
+
+The default value is `Smart`, which uses [Smartcrop] image analysis to determine the optimal placement of the crop box. You may override the default value in the [site configuration](#processing-options).
+
+For example, if you have a 400x200 image with a bird in the upper left quadrant, you can create a 200x100 thumbnail containing the bird:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Crop "200x100 TopLeft" }}
+```
+
+If you apply rotation when using the `Crop` or `Fill` method, specify the anchor relative to the rotated image.
+
+### Target Format
+
+By default, Hugo encodes the image in the source format. You may convert the image to another format by specifying `bmp`, `gif`, `jpeg`, `jpg`, `png`, `tif`, `tiff`, or `webp`.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Resize "600x webp" }}
+```
+
+To convert an image without scaling, use the dimensions of the original image:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with .Resources.GetMatch "sunset.jpg" }}
+ {{ with .Resize (printf "%dx%d webp" .Width .Height) }}
+ <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}">
+ {{ end }}
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+### Quality
+
+Applicable to JPEG and WebP images, the `q` value determines the quality of the converted image. Higher values produce better quality images, while lower values produce smaller files. Set this value to a whole number between 1 and 100, inclusive.
+
+The default value is 75. You may override the default value in the [site configuration](#processing-options).
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Resize "600x webp q50" }}
+```
+
+### Hint
+
+<!-- Specifies a libwebp preset, not a libwebp image hint. -->
+
+Applicable to WebP images, this option corresponds to a set of pre-defined encoding parameters.
+
+Value|Example
+:--|:--
+`drawing`|Hand or line drawing with high-contrast details
+`icon`|Small colorful image
+`photo`|Outdoor photograph with natural lighting
+`picture`|Indoor photograph such as a portrait
+`text`|Image that is primarily text
+
+The default value is `photo`. You may override the default value in the [site configuration](#processing-options).
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Resize "600x webp picture" }}
+```
+
+### Background Color
+
+When converting an image from a format that supports transparency (e.g., PNG) to a format that does _not_ support transparency (e.g., JPEG), you may specify the background color of the resulting image.
+
+Use either a 3-digit or a 6-digit hexadecimal color code (e.g., `#00f` or `#0000ff`).
+
+The default value is `#ffffff` (white). You may override the default value in the [site configuration](#processing-options).
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Resize "600x jpg #b31280" }}
+```
+
+### Resampling Filter
+
+You may specify the resampling filter used when resizing an image. Commonly used resampling filters include:
+
+Filter|Description
+:--|:--
+`Box`|Simple and fast averaging filter appropriate for downscaling
+`Lanczos`|High-quality resampling filter for photographic images yielding sharp results
+`CatmullRom`|Sharp cubic filter that is faster than the Lanczos filter while providing similar results
+`MitchellNetravali`|Cubic filter that produces smoother results with less ringing artifacts than CatmullRom
+`Linear`|Bilinear resampling filter, produces smooth output, faster than cubic filters
+`NearestNeighbor`|Fastest resampling filter, no antialiasing
+
+The default value is `Box`. You may override the default value in the [site configuration](#processing-options).
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $image.Resize "600x400 Lanczos" }}
+```
+
+See [github.com/disintegration/imaging] for the complete list of resampling filters. If you wish to improve image quality at the expense of performance, you may wish to experiment with the alternative filters.

+
+{{< imgproc sunset Resize "300x" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Fill "90x120 left" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Fill "90x120 right" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Fit "90x90" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Crop "250x250 center" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Resize "300x q10" />}}
+
+This is the shortcode used to generate the examples above:
+
+{{< code file="layouts/shortcodes/imgproc.html" >}}
+{{< readfile file="layouts/shortcodes/imgproc.html" >}}
+{{< /code >}}
+
+Call the shortcode from your markdown like this:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{</* imgproc sunset Resize "300x" /*/>}}
+```
+
+{{% note %}}
+Note the self-closing shortcode syntax above. You may call the `imgproc` shortcode with or without **inner content**.

+
+## Imaging Configuration
+
+### Processing Options
+
+Define an `imaging` section in your site configuration to set the default [image processing options](#image-processing-options).
+
+{{< code-toggle file="config" copy=true >}}
+[imaging]
+resampleFilter = "Box"
+quality = 75
+hint = "photo"
+anchor = "Smart"
+bgColor = "#ffffff"
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+anchor
+: See image processing options: [anchor](#anchor).
+
+bgColor
+: See image processing options: [background color](#background-color).
+
+hint
+: See image processing options: [hint](#hint).
+
+quality
+: See image processing options: [quality](#quality).
+
+resampleFilter
+: See image processing options: [resampling filter](#resampling-filter).
+
+### Exif Data
+
+Define an `imaging.exif` section in your site configuration to control the availability of Exif data.
+
+{{< code-toggle file="config" copy=true >}}
+[imaging.exif]
+includeFields = ""
+excludeFields = ""
+disableDate = false
+disableLatLong = false
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+disableDate
+: Hugo extracts the image creation date/time into `.Date`. Set this to `true` to disable. Default is `false`.
+
+disableLatLong
+: Hugo extracts the GPS latitude and longitude into `.Lat` and `.Long`. Set this to `true` to disable. Default is `false`.
+
+excludeFields
+: Regular expression matching the Exif tags to exclude from the `.Tags` collection. Default is&nbsp;`""`.
+
+includeFields
+: Regular expression matching the Exif tags to include in the `.Tags` collection. Default is&nbsp;`""`. To include all available tags, set this value to&nbsp;`".*"`.
+
+{{% note %}}
+To improve performance and decrease cache size, if you set neither `excludeFields` nor `includeFields`, Hugo excludes the following tags: `ColorSpace`, `Contrast`, `Exif`, `Exposure[M|P|B]`, `Flash`, `GPS`, `JPEG`, `Metering`, `Resolution`, `Saturation`, `Sensing`, `Sharp`, and `WhiteBalance`.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+## Smart Cropping of Images
+
+By default, Hugo uses the [Smartcrop] library when cropping images with the `Crop` or`Fill` methods. You can set the anchor point manually, but in most cases the `Smart` option will make a good choice.
+
+Examples using the sunset image from above:
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Fill "200x200 smart" />}}
+
+{{< imgproc sunset Crop "200x200 smart" />}}
+
+## Image Processing Performance Consideration
+
+Hugo caches processed images in the `resources` directory. If you include this directory in source control, Hugo will not have to regenerate the images in a CI/CD workflow (e.g., GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Netlify, etc.). This results in faster builds.
+
+If you change image processing methods or options, or if you rename or remove images, the `resources` directory will contain unused images. To remove the unused images, perform garbage collection with:
+
+```bash
+hugo --gc
+```
