You can also specify the file's Wix media URL. For example, wix:image://v1/0abec0_b291a9349a0b4da59067f76287e386fb~mv2.jpg/leon.jpg#originWidth=3024&originHeight=4032. Learn more about the file ID parameter (SDK | REST).

If you are working in REST, note that you must encode the Wix media URL to specify it as a query param because it contains special characters. For example, wix:image://v1/0abec0_b291a9349a0b4da59067f76287e386fb~mv2.jpg/leon.jpg#originWidth=3024&originHeight=4032 becomes wix%3Aimage%3A%2F%2Fv1%2F0abec0_b291a9349a0b4da59067f76287e386fb~mv2.jpg%2Fleon.jpg%23originWidth%3D3024%26originHeight%3D4032.
