# Use supported Query Parameter edits
<a name="use-supported-query-param-edits"></a>

The solution supports the definition of certain image edits through the use of query parameters. These query parameters can be used by themselves, or in conjunction with base64 or Thumbor-style edits. For example

```
https://<ApiEndpoint>/<image.jpeg>?format=<FormatType>
```

```
https://<ApiEndpoint>/<base64EncodedRequest>?format=<FormatType>
```

```
https://<ApiEndpoint>/<modification>/<image.jpeg>?format=<FormatType>
```

If a query parameter includes an edit already included in the request, it will overwrite the included value.

The following query parameter edits are currently available:
