Hi,

The customer would like to download the original image from back office media area. The problem is that when they download the image Fastly is returning the webP version.

When I look at the Fastly documentation it says that adding ?format=jpeg should do the trick but that doesn’t do anything that I can see.

Litium version: _7.7.9_

Hi again,  
Faslty ImageOptimization has to be configured so that it does not optimize the backoffice downloads. Do you have access to customers Fastly environment?

I will paste your answer here so you can change this to solved.

In Fastly admin there is a file called **litium\_recv.vcl** and a line that looks like this:

```auto
if (req.url.ext ~ "(?i)^(?:gif|png|jpe?g|webp)$" && req.http.X-UA-Device != "bot")
    set req.http.x-fastly-imageopto-api = "fastly";
}

```

You need to change it to this:

```auto
if (req.url.ext ~ "(?i)^(?:gif|png|jpe?g|webp)$" && req.http.X-UA-Device != "bot" && req.url.qs != "forceDownload=true") {
   set req.http.x-fastly-imageopto-api = "fastly";
}

```
