title: Is there a recommended way to return an image using ASP.NET Web API
body: <p>What is the best way to return an image with 2 parameters (x and y for resize).</p>
  
  <p>For example</p>
  
  <pre><code>~/api/image12345/200/200
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Will return a 200 by 200 jpg/png/or gif</p>
  
  <p>Should I return a <code>System.Drawing.Image</code> object or manually define the <code>HTTPReponseMessage.Content</code>? </p>
