Image Card

Additionally, the card supports adding image and processing through these parameters:

Parameter Description
image Specifies the image URL for the card.
method Sets Hugo’s image processing method.
options Configures Hugo’s image processing options.

Card supports three kinds of images:

  1. Remote image: the full URL in the image parameter.
  2. Static image: use the relative path in Hugo’s static/ directory.
  3. Processed image: use the relative path in Hugo’s assets/ directory.

Hextra auto-detects if image processing is needed during build and applies the options parameter or default settings (Resize, 800x, Quality 80, WebP Format). It currently supports these method: Resize, Fit, Fill and Crop.

For more on Hugo’s built in image processing commands, methods, and options see their Image Processing Documentation.
