Hi community!
The docs of the Netlify Image Transformation state that “Netlify will never scale an image larger than its original resolution” (see attached screenshot).
However, the example link provided: 1 returns a image that is 2793px wide. If I use the resize query to scale it to 3000px, 2, which gets scaled larger than its original resolution.
Is this intended behaviour or a bug?
Hi, @ulrichformann, and welcome to our Netlify community site. Thank you for the reproduction in the post itself as well!
I’ve asked this question to developers:
We’ll post another update here once we have more information.
@ulrichformann, I also didn’t get an answer on this myself. I’m asking again and checking with other teammates that might have gotten an answer when I did not.
We’ll have another update soon.
Hi, @ulrichformann. There is an issue filed for this for the Large Media service itself but I don’t have an ETA for if/when this behavior might change.
There is also an open issue to remove that note from the documentation for now because transforming to a larger size is possible. I think the documentation change is more likely to happen soon than a change in the behavior of the image transformations.
In other words, I don’t expect a change anytime soon in the image transformation service itself. If there are other questions about this, please reply here anytime.
