# Fit
Resizes the image to fit into a specified **width** and **height** box, adds padding (image or solid color) to keep proportions, and delivers the resulting image via CDN.
**func=fit**
The padding can be customised using the following additional operations:
| Operation | Syntax | Description |
|---|
| gravity | gravity=X
X=[north|south][east|west] | sets the position of the image in the fit box |
| solid background | bg_color=X | bg_colour=X
X={hex color}|auto | defines a background color with a hex code, color name or automatically, based on the image palette |
| blurred background | bg_img_fit=1 | sets blurred image background |
| bg_blur=X | applies Gaussian blur to the background image |
| bg_opacity=X
X=0..1 | specifies background image opacity |
| bg_colourise=X | bg_colorize=X | defines a color to tint the background image |
| image upscaling | fit_enlarge=1 | allows upscaling smaller images to the desired dimensions (will result in inferior image resolution) |
## Gravity
| **northwest** | **north** | **northeast** |
| ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **west** | **center** \| **centre** (default) | **east** |
| **southwest** | **south** | **southeast** |
