Premium Feature

Video Thumbnail is currently available for Imgix customers on our Premium plans. This feature is currently in Alpha.

If you’re interested in this feature, please contact our sales team for more information.

Generates a thumbnail from a video. It accepts one of two values:

  • An integer representing the time in seconds at which the thumbnail should be generated
  • auto (default): Generates a thumbnail using the first non-black frame of the video

Unlike the other Video Rendering parameters, the fm parameter is an optional parameter that provides control over the output format of the thumbnail. If fm is not set, the default format is jpg. The thumbnail will be generated at the same resolution as the video by default but can be resized using the size parameters.
