# Image - `Image()` Validates if the file is a valid image by checking its MIME type. ```php v::image()->assert('/path/to/image.gif'); // Validation passes successfully v::image()->assert('/path/to/image.jpg'); // Validation passes successfully v::image()->assert('/path/to/image.png'); // Validation passes successfully ``` All the validations above must return `false` if the input is not a valid file or of the MIME doesn't match with the file extension. This validator relies on [fileinfo](http://php.net/fileinfo) PHP extension. ## Templates ### `Image::TEMPLATE_STANDARD` | Mode | Template | | ---------: | :-------------------------------------------------------- | | `default` | {{subject}} must be an accessible existing image file | | `inverted` | {{subject}} must not be an accessible existing image file | ## Template placeholders | Placeholder | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `subject` | The validated input or the custom validator name (if specified). | ## Categorization - File system ## Changelog | Version | Description | | ------: | :---------------- | | 3.0.0 | Templates changed | | 1.1.0 | Created | ## See Also - [Directory](Directory.md) - [Executable](Executable.md) - [Exists](Exists.md) - [Extension](Extension.md) - [File](File.md) - [Mimetype](Mimetype.md) - [Readable](Readable.md) - [Size](Size.md) - [SymbolicLink](SymbolicLink.md) - [Writable](Writable.md)
