# Creating & Uploading

This API endpoint allows you to create an image. To create an image, you must provide a valid API key.

{% hint style="info" %}
We've prepared quick start guides for uploading images the simplest way possible. If you're stuck, or perhaps want to see simple code examples, then start over there!

[HDR Brackets](/getting-started/quickstart/hdr.md)
{% endhint %}

### Creating image

{% openapi src="<https://api.autoenhance.ai/docs/openapi.spec>" path="/v3/images/" method="post" expanded="false" %}
<https://api.autoenhance.ai/docs/openapi.spec>
{% endopenapi %}

{% hint style="info" %}
All of your uploaded images will contain an **order\_id** even if you don't specify it. If you want to upload multiple images into an order, you need to specify the **order\_id** while creating the image in our API. Learn more on the [Orders page](/orders.md).
{% endhint %}

After successfully creating an image, the response will include an `upload_url` or  `s3PutObjectUrl` if you're using an older API version.  To upload the physical image to our service, make a PUT request to this URL with the image in the body of the request.

## Uploading image

<mark style="color:orange;">`PUT`</mark> **`upload_url || s3PutObjectUrl`**

The body should contain the data for your image and the Content-Type should be equal to what you sent when creating the image.
