Hi All,

I've read the documentation, but can't find any information on images sizes I can use in the URL?

What size options are there?

I know 500, 1000 & 1920 work.

e.g.
http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/
http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1000/
http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1920/

What other image sizes can I use?

I'm looking to get poster_path and backdrop_path

Many thanks

You can call the /configuration method any time to get the image sizes. See the docs for more info.

There may be other sizes that work but what is returned in the configuration method are the only sizes we officially support.

If there's a need to add new sizes (which we have done in the past) feel free to mention it for us to consider.

Original Size is the size of the uploaded image.  
It can be between Minimum Resolution and Maximum Resolution.

I truly miss w1920 for backdrops.

w1280 is pretty small for current screen sizes and doesn't look good when upscaled. And originals are a pain to work with. :/

I'm trying to upload some backdrops here but I don't know what x thing I need to use.
I know for posters it's usually 666x1000, but what's the backdrops x?
Thanks, Blake

When you open the window to add images, you will see the specifications.
In this case:

Backdrops must meet the following criteria:

     A maximum resolution of 3840x2160
     A minimum resolution of 1280x720
     Aspect ratio of 16x9 (1.78: 1)

## Add Supported Image Sizes  
                                 Min Res      Max Res  
poster   = Poster ............  500 x 750   2000 x 3000  
backdrop = Fanart ............ 1280 x 720   3840 x 2160  
still    = TV Show Episode ... 1280 x 720   3840 x 2160  
profile  = Actors Actresses ..  300 x 450   2000 x 3000  
logo     = TMDb Logo

When you open the window to add images, you will see the specifications.

FYI they have the wrong minimum resolution for two types of images: season posters and episodic backdrops. And production company/TV networks logos do have some size restrictions.

@banana_girl See if it's correct now.

## Add Supported Image Sizes (in Pixels)  

API NAME  =   WEB NAME           MIN Pixel    MAX Pixel     Aspect Ratio  
poster    = Poster ............  500 x 750   2000 x 3000   1.50    (1x1.5)  
poster    = Poster TV Season ..  400 x 578   2000 x 3000   1.50    (1x1.5)  
backdrop  = Backdrop .......... 1280 x 720   3840 x 2160   1.77778 (16x9)  
still     = Backdrop Episode ..  400 x 225   3840 x 2160   1.77778 (16x9)  
profile   = Person Profile ....  300 x 450   2000 x 3000   1.50    (1x1.5)  
logos     = Logos PNG .........  500 x 1     2000 x 2000    n/a  
logos     = Logos SVG .........  500 x 1     Vector File    n/a

EDIT
Corrected information that was like this

Logo PNG = Production/Networks  500 x 1   2000 x 2000   n/a
Logo SVG = Production/Networks  500 x 1   Vector File   n/a

The logos are bit complicated.
The minimum for PNG logos is, I guess, 500x1px/1x500px; either the width or the height has to be at least 500px.
All aspect ratios are supported.
The SVG logo also have no aspect ratio restrictions that I know of, but a max resolution of 2000x2000.

As we can set the color of the Windows interface to DARK, the two Links seem to lead to a Black page.
If these examples, 500x1 and 1x500, are in the Bible it would be better if they were in Yellow or Red.
It took me a while to realize the problem. :-)

In the case of the SVG file, as it is scalable, I thought it would be 1x1.
On the logos page, the field for size is blank.

The term used in an API Request response for an Episode Backdrop is still.
It is also the term used in the response listing for a Configuration API Request.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key=THE_KEY

I added a header to my TXT table to make it clear that the first column are terms used in API and the second column terms used in the WEB interface.
