Capella requires a project's token for image uploading. We are testing the service for a fast, stable and secure work.

You will be able to enroll your project to get a token later. Keep track of Capella's updates on https://github.com/codex-team/capella.

You can get each uploaded image by the following URL scheme with or without extension.

https://capella.pics/<image_id> or https://capella.pics/<image_id>.jpg

Filters

Apply filter by adding it at the end of the image URL.

https://capella.pics/<image_id>/<filter>/<params>

You can use as many filters as you want.

/<filter_1>/<params_1>/<filter_2>/<params_2>...

Note that the order of filters affects the result:

Filter Result
