+# Transforming Sanity Images
+
+When working with Sanity.io images, you can leverage Sanity's built-in image transformation capabilities instead of using the `sharp` plugin. This is particularly useful for handling Sanity's hotspot and crop features.
+
+## Fetching Images with GROQ
+
+First, ensure your GROQ query includes all necessary image fields:
+
+```typescript{12-17}
+import { defineConfig } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-core';
+import { sanitySource } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-content';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  content: {
+    sources: [
+      sanitySource({
+        id: 'content',
+        projectId: 'your-project-id',
+        queries: [{
+          id: 'pages',
+          query: `*[_type == "page"]{
+            image { 
+              ...,
+              asset->
+            }
+          }`
+        }]
+      })
+    ],
+    plugins: [
+      mediaDownloader()
+    ]
+  }
+});
+```
+
+The `asset->` reference is crucial for accessing the full image data, including hotspot and crop information.
+
+## Using the Image URL Transform Plugin
+
+Add the `sanityImageUrlTransform` plugin to transform image references into URLs:
+
+```typescript{14-22}
+import { defineConfig } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-core';
+import { sanityImageUrlTransform, sanitySource } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-content';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  content: {
+    sources: [
+      sanitySource({
+        id: 'content',
+        projectId: 'your-project-id',
+        queries: [/* ... */]
+      })
+    ],
+    plugins: [
+      sanityImageUrlTransform({
+        projectId: 'your-project-id',
+        dataset: 'production',
+        buildUrl: (builder) => builder
+          .width(800)
+          .format('webp')
+          .fit('crop')
+          .crop('center')
+      }),
+      mediaDownloader()
+    ]
+  }
+});
+```
+
+>[!TIP]
+>It's added _before_ the mediaDownloader (unlike the `sharp` plugin) because it modifies
+
+## Available Transformations
+
+Sanity's image URL builder supports many transformations:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-core';
+import { sanityImageUrlTransform, sanitySource } from '@bluecadet/launchpad-content';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  content: {
+    sources: [
+      sanitySource({
+        id: 'content',
+        projectId: 'your-project-id',
+        queries: [/* ... */]
+      })
+    ],
+    plugins: [
+      sanityImageUrlTransform({
+        projectId: 'your-project-id',
+        dataset: 'production',
+        buildUrl: (builder) => builder
+          .width(800)                    // Set width
+          .height(600)                   // Set height
+          .format('webp')               // Convert format
+          .quality(80)                  // Adjust quality
+          .auto('format')               // Auto-select best format
+          .fit('crop')                  // Crop fitting
+          .crop('center')               // Crop position
+          .blur(10)                     // Apply blur
+      }),
+      mediaDownloader()
+    ]
+  }
+});
+```
