This article holds a mapping of Filestack image transformation operations to the Uploadcare ones. We also provide some migration practices and visual examples. The following list is based on the names of Filestack operations: * [Resize](#migrate-img-resize) * [Crop](#migrate-img-crop) * [Rotate](#migrate-img-rotate) * [Flip, Flop](#migrate-img-flipflop) * [Watermark](#migrate-img-watermark) * [Detect_faces, face detection](#migrate-img-faces) * [Filters — Blur](#migrate-img-blur) * [Monochrome, desaturating](#migrate-img-gscale) * [Sharpen](#migrate-img-sharpen) * [Enhance](#migrate-img-enhance) * [Filetype conversion — images, format conversions](#migrate-img-format) * [Quality, changing image quality](#migrate-img-quality) * [Zip, handling archives](#migrate-img-archive) ## Resize \[#migrate-img-resize] Filestack image resizing operation has several input parameters that map to the three Image Transformations: [`resize`](/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-resize), [`preview`](/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-preview), and [`scale_crop`](/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-scale-crop). Here’s what those three do: * `resize`: resizes an image to fit into the specified dimensions. * `preview`: scales an input image to fit into the specified dimensions while preserving its original aspect ratio. * `scale_crop`: scales an image until one of the dimensions gets equal to the specified size, the rest of image is cropped. ### Migrating operation parameters ``` -> ``` * `width` -> `width` * `height` -> `height` * `fit` , `align` -> `preview` , `scale_crop`, and `resize`. See below for more info. When migrating images with the `clip` and `max` values for `fit`: use `preview`. A `crop` value for `fit` can be migrated by using `scale_crop`. When looking to migrate `scale`, `resize` can be used. The two supported `align` values are: `center` and no value, which defaults to `left`. ### Examples Scale image to fit 750 px in width,

There’s a difference, though. When setting the crop coordinates that create an area that extends outside the original image dimensions, Filestack will give you the part of an input image that fits into the original dimensions. With Uploadcare, you can choose whichever coordinates, but an area beyond the original image dimensions will be filled with white. Here’s the difference,

It’s for right-angle counterclockwise image rotation. In order to map the `exif` Filestack parameter, you can use the [autorotate](/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-autorotate) operation that deals with the EXIF `Orientation` tag. Note, with Uploadcare, when you’re applying any transformations to your images, they’re automatically aligned according to their EXIF. However, you can choose to use `/-/autorotate/no/` to change this behavior. ### Migrating operation parameters ``` -> ``` `deg` or `exif` -> `angle` ### Examples (Filestack vs Uploadcare) Rotate image 180 degrees counterclockwise,

The operations require no parameters. ### Examples (Filestack vs Uploadcare) Flipping image,

Watermarks, in this regard, are any images layered over your image content. ### Migrating operation parameters ``` -> ``` * `file` -> `uuid` * `size` -> `relative_dimensions` * `position` -> `relative_coordinates` ### Examples (Filestack vs Uploadcare) Add overlay, align: center,

Filestack face detection well maps to the operation with the `export` parameter set to `true`. The Uploadcare version outputs data similar to the [json](/docs/cdn-operations/#operation-json) operation and requires no input parameters. ### Examples (Filestack vs Uploadcare) Detect faces and return their coordinates as JSON, Acquire JSON from Filestack ```cdn https://process.filestackapi.com/detect_faces=export:true/GOBMuoEKRS6iW8oNSlcN ``` Acquire JSON from Uploadcare ```cdn https://demo.ucarecd.net/8df8efa5-7d23-4f2a-8006-d3c1178295ac/detect_faces/ ``` ## Filters — blur \[#migrate-img-blur] The `blur` Filestack operation under the `Filters` section maps to the [blur](/docs/effects-enhancements/#operation-blur) Image Processing operation. ### Migrating operation parameters ``` -> ``` `amount` -> `strength` ### Examples Some blur,

The Filestack analog is called `monochrome`. Both operations require no input parameters. ### Examples Getting grayscale image,

In addition, the Uploadcare version supports the `auto` setting that adjusts the output image format according to the client preferences. ### Examples Set output format to PNG,

Filestack allows to change the parameter value explicitly, while Uploadcare has a set of five quality presets.

However, the latter only works with Group API.
