Cloudinary supports changing the aspect ratio of an image using different cropping methods, including padding with a uniform color of your choice. For example (preserving the original height):

Some people may prefer to have a softer background which will correspond to the colors of the original image but won't attract attention. In this case, you can use the following approach (preserving the original height):
The same effect can be achieved by transforming a landscape image to a 1:1 frame by preserving the original width and adjusting the aspect ratio, for example:
An additional option for changing the image orientation is making use of our automatic background color feature(b_auto):

Now with the image faded into the padding:

I want to use this transformation http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/u_face_left,w_1.0,ar_1,c_scale,e_blur:1000,o_70/face_left.jpg
But i have a slash in my public_id. So I'm not able to use u_{public_id}.
Can you help me ?
Hi Vinod,
If the asset that you want to overlay/underlay is in a folder, you can replace the folder slash with a colon. For example, if you want to overlay an asset with the public_id of 'animals/kitten', that transformation syntax would look like 'l_animals:kitten' This applies no matter how deeply nested the folder structure is. So if the public id were 'animals/cats/kitten' then the transformation syntax becomes 'l_animals:cats:kitten'
I hope this helps. If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Tia
