# Quality adjustment

i3, our image management solution, allows for dynamic and transparent adjustment of image quality.

We achieve this by using our `TCDN-i3-transform` header and specifying the desired operation, in this case, `quality.` This operation requires a mandatory parameter: the quality level expressed as a percentage, indicating the resulting image's quality compared to the original image.

The exact syntax for this operation is as follows: `quality:`*`<porcentaje>%`*

However, there is an important restriction to note: this operation is only applicable to images in JPEG format ([conversion to WebP](/config/i3/conversion-to-webp.md) has its own quality adjustment). For images in other formats, you can alternatively consider using the [max\_length](/config/i3/definition-of-the-maximum-size-content-length.md) operation, which is not limited by the image format.

For example, if we wanted all images on our domain `mi-dominio.es` under the URL `/estaticos/imagenes` to be served with a reduced quality of 75%, we would simply need to deploy a [VCL](/config/vcl.md) [configuration](/getting-started/dashboard/auto-provisioning.md) similar to the following from the [dashboard](/getting-started/dashboard.md):

```c
# i3 - quality
sub vcl_recv {
    if (req.http.host == "www.mi-dominio.es") {
        if (req.url ~ "^/estaticos/imagenes/") {
            if (urlplus.get_extension() ~ "(?i)(jpe?g)") {
                set req.http.TCDN-i3-transform = "quality:75%";
            }
        }
    }
}
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.transparentedge.eu/config/i3/quality-adjustment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
