public final class MediaFormat
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.media.MediaFormat

Encapsulates the information describing the format of media data, be it audio or video, as well as optional feature metadata.

The format of the media data is specified as key/value pairs. Keys are strings. Values can be integer, long, float, String or ByteBuffer.

The feature metadata is specificed as string/boolean pairs.

Keys common to all audio/video formats, all keys not marked optional are mandatory:

Name	Value Type	Description
KEY_MIME	String	The type of the format.
KEY_CODECS_STRING	String	optional, the RFC 6381 codecs string of the MediaFormat
KEY_MAX_INPUT_SIZE	Integer	optional, maximum size of a buffer of input data
KEY_PIXEL_ASPECT_RATIO_WIDTH	Integer	optional, the pixel aspect ratio width
KEY_PIXEL_ASPECT_RATIO_HEIGHT	Integer	optional, the pixel aspect ratio height
KEY_BIT_RATE	Integer	encoder-only, desired bitrate in bits/second
KEY_DURATION	long	the duration of the content (in microseconds)

Video formats have the following keys:

Name	Value Type	Description
KEY_WIDTH	Integer
KEY_HEIGHT	Integer
KEY_COLOR_FORMAT	Integer	set by the user for encoders, readable in the output format of decoders
KEY_FRAME_RATE	Integer or Float	required for encoders, optional for decoders
KEY_CAPTURE_RATE	Integer
KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL	Integer (or Float)	encoder-only, time-interval between key frames. Float support added in Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1

KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR

A key describing the boost factor allowing to adapt the dynamics of the output to the actual listening requirements.

Positive gains (boost) and negative gains (attenuation, see KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR) can be controlled separately for a better match to different use-cases.

Typically, attenuation gains are sent for loud signal segments, and boost gains are sent for soft signal segments. If the output is listened to in a noisy environment, for example, the boost factor is used to enable the positive gains, i.e. to amplify soft signal segments beyond the noise floor. But for listening late at night, the attenuation factor is used to enable the negative gains, to prevent loud signal from surprising the listener. In applications which generally need a low dynamic range, both the boost factor and the attenuation factor are used in order to enable all DRC gains.

In order to prevent clipping, it is also recommended to apply the attenuation gains in case of a downmix and/or loudness normalization to high target reference levels.

Both the boost and the attenuation factor parameters are given as integer values between 0 and 127, representing the range of the factor of 0 (i.e. don't apply) to 1 (i.e. fully apply boost/attenuation gains respectively).

The default value is 127 (fully apply boost DRC gains).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-boost-level"

KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE

Added in API level 28

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE

A key describing for selecting the DRC effect type for MPEG-D DRC. The supported values are defined in ISO/IEC 23003-4:2015 and are described as follows:

Value	Effect
-1	Off
0	None
1	Late night
2	Noisy environment
3	Limited playback range
4	Low playback level
5	Dialog enhancement
6	General compression

The value -1 (Off) disables DRC processing, while loudness normalization may still be active and dependent on KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL.
The value 0 (None) automatically enables DRC processing if necessary to prevent signal clipping
The value 6 (General compression) can be used for enabling MPEG-D DRC without particular DRC effect type request.
The default DRC effect type is 3 ("Limited playback range") on mobile devices.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-effect-type"

KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION

A key describing the selection of the heavy compression profile for MPEG-4 DRC.

Two separate DRC gain sequences can be transmitted in one bitstream: light compression and heavy compression. When selecting the application of the heavy compression, one of the sequences is selected:

• 0 enables light compression,
• 1 enables heavy compression instead.

Note that heavy compression doesn't offer the features of scaling of DRC gains (see KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR and KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR for the boost and attenuation factors), and frequency-selective (multiband) DRC. Light compression usually contains clipping prevention for stereo downmixing while heavy compression, if additionally provided in the bitstream, is usually stronger, and contains clipping prevention for stereo and mono downmixing.

The default is 1 (heavy compression).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-heavy-compression"

KEY_AAC_DRC_OUTPUT_LOUDNESS

Added in API level 30

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_OUTPUT_LOUDNESS

A key to retrieve the output loudness of a decoded bitstream.

If loudness normalization is active, the value corresponds to the Target Reference Level (see KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL).
If loudness normalization is not active, the value corresponds to the loudness metadata given in the bitstream.

The value is retrieved with getInteger() and is given as an integer value between 0 and 231. It is calculated as -4 * Output Loudness in LKFS. Therefore, it represents the range of 0 to -57.75 LKFS.

A value of -1 indicates that no loudness metadata is present in the bitstream.

Loudness metadata can originate from MPEG-4 DRC or MPEG-D DRC.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-output-loudness"

KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL

A key describing the Target Reference Level (Target Loudness).

For normalizing loudness across program items, a gain is applied to the audio output so that the output loudness matches the Target Reference Level. The gain is derived as the difference between the Target Reference Level and the Program Reference Level (Program Loudness). The latter can be given in the bitstream and indicates the actual loudness value of the program item.

The Target Reference Level controls loudness normalization for both MPEG-4 DRC and MPEG-D DRC.

The value is given as an integer value between 40 and 127, and is calculated as -4 * Target Reference Level in LKFS. Therefore, it represents the range of -10 to -31.75 LKFS.

For MPEG-4 DRC, a value of -1 switches off loudness normalization and DRC processing.

For MPEG-D DRC, a value of -1 switches off loudness normalization only. For DRC processing options of MPEG-D DRC, see KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE

The default value on mobile devices is 64 (-16 LKFS).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-target-ref-level"

KEY_AAC_ENCODED_TARGET_LEVEL

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_AAC_ENCODED_TARGET_LEVEL

A key describing the target reference level that was assumed at the encoder for calculation of attenuation gains for clipping prevention.

If it is known, this information can be provided as an integer value between 0 and 127, which is calculated as -4 * Encoded Target Level in LKFS. If the Encoded Target Level is unknown, the value can be set to -1.

The default value is -1 (unknown).

The value is ignored when heavy compression (see KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION) or MPEG-D DRC is used.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-encoded-target-level"

KEY_AAC_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

KEY_CREATE_INPUT_SURFACE_SUSPENDED

Added in API level 29

public static final String KEY_CREATE_INPUT_SURFACE_SUSPENDED

If specified when configuring a video encoder that's in "surface-input" mode, it will instruct the encoder to put the surface source in suspended state when it's connected. No video frames will be accepted until a resume operation (see MediaCodec#PARAMETER_KEY_SUSPEND), optionally with timestamp specified via MediaCodec#PARAMETER_KEY_SUSPEND_TIME, is received. The value is an integer, with 1 indicating to create with the surface source suspended, or 0 otherwise. The default value is 0. If this key is not set or set to 0, the surface source will accept buffers as soon as it's connected to the encoder (although they may not be encoded immediately). This key can be used when the client wants to prepare the encoder session in advance, but do not want to accept buffers immediately.

Constant Value: "create-input-buffers-suspended"

KEY_CROP_BOTTOM

KEY_FRAME_RATE

Added in API level 16

public static final String KEY_FRAME_RATE

A key describing the frame rate of a video format in frames/sec.

The associated value is normally an integer when the value is used by the platform, but video codecs also accept float configuration values. Specifically, MediaExtractor provides an integer value corresponding to the frame rate information of the track if specified and non-zero. Otherwise, this key is not present. MediaCodec accepts both float and integer values.

This represents the desired operating frame rate if the KEY_OPERATING_RATE is not present and KEY_PRIORITY is 0 (realtime). Otherwise, this is just informational.

For video encoders this value corresponds to the intended frame rate (the rate at which the application intends to send frames to the encoder, as calculated by the buffer timestamps, and not from the actual real-time rate that the frames are sent to the encoder). Encoders use this hint for rate control, specifically for the initial frames, as encoders are expected to support variable frame rate (for rate control) based on the actual buffer timestamps of subsequent frames.

This key is not used in the MediaCodec input/output formats, nor by MediaMuxer.

Constant Value: "frame-rate"

KEY_GRID_COLUMNS

Constant Value: "hdr10-plus-info"

KEY_HDR_STATIC_INFO

Added in API level 24

public static final String KEY_HDR_STATIC_INFO

An optional key describing the static metadata of HDR (high-dynamic-range) video content. The associated value is a ByteBuffer. This buffer contains the raw contents of the Static Metadata Descriptor (including the descriptor ID) of an HDMI Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame as defined by CTA-861.3. This key must be provided to video decoders for HDR video content unless this information is contained in the bitstream and the video decoder supports an HDR-capable profile. This key must be provided to video encoders for HDR video content.

Constant Value: "hdr-static-info"

KEY_HEIGHT

Added in API level 16

public static final String KEY_HEIGHT

A key describing the height of the content in a video format. The associated value is an integer

Constant Value: "height"

KEY_IMPORTANCE

Added in API level 35

public static final String KEY_IMPORTANCE

A key describing the desired codec importance for the application.

The associated value is a positive integer including zero. Higher value means lesser importance.

The resource manager may use the codec importance, along with other factors when reclaiming codecs from an application. The specifics of reclaim policy is device dependent, but specifying the codec importance, will allow the resource manager to prioritize reclaiming less important codecs (assigned higher values) from the (reclaim) requesting application first. So, the codec importance is only relevant within the context of that application.

The codec importance can be set:

• through MediaCodec#configure.
• through MediaCodec#setParameters if the codec has been configured already, which allows the users to change the codec importance multiple times.

Any change/update in codec importance is guaranteed upon the completion of the function call that sets the codec importance. So, in case of concurrent codec operations, make sure to wait for the change in codec importance, before using another codec. Note that unless specified, by default the codecs will have highest importance (of value 0).

Constant Value: "importance"

KEY_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD

Added in API level 24

public static final String KEY_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD

An optional key describing the period of intra refresh in frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. If encoder supports it (MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities#FEATURE_IntraRefresh), the whole frame is completely refreshed after the specified period. Also for each frame, a fix subset of macroblocks must be intra coded which leads to more constant bitrate than inserting a key frame. This key is recommended for video streaming applications as it provides low-delay and good error-resilience. This key is ignored if the video encoder does not support the intra refresh feature. Use the output format to verify that this feature was enabled. The associated value is an integer.

Constant Value: "intra-refresh-period"

KEY_IS_ADTS

Added in API level 16

public static final String KEY_IS_ADTS

A key mapping to a value of 1 if the content is AAC audio and audio frames are prefixed with an ADTS header. The associated value is an integer (0 or 1). This key is only supported when _decoding_ content, it cannot be used to configure an encoder to emit ADTS output.

Constant Value: "is-adts"

KEY_IS_AUTOSELECT

Added in API level 19

public static final String KEY_IS_AUTOSELECT

A key for boolean AUTOSELECT behavior for the track. Tracks with AUTOSELECT=true are considered when automatically selecting a track without specific user choice, based on the current locale.

This is an optional field; if not specified, AUTOSELECT defaults to TRUE.

Constant Value: "is-autoselect"

KEY_IS_DEFAULT

Added in API level 19

public static final String KEY_IS_DEFAULT

A key for boolean DEFAULT behavior for the track. The track with DEFAULT=true is selected in the absence of a specific user choice. This is currently used in two scenarios: 1) for subtitle tracks, when the user selected 'Default' for the captioning locale. 2) for a MIMETYPE_IMAGE_ANDROID_HEIC / MIMETYPE_IMAGE_AVIF track, indicating the image is the primary item in the file. The associated value is an integer, where non-0 means TRUE. This is an optional field; if not specified, DEFAULT is considered to be FALSE.

Constant Value: "is-default"

KEY_IS_FORCED_SUBTITLE

Added in API level 19

public static final String KEY_IS_FORCED_SUBTITLE

A key for the FORCED field for subtitle tracks. True if it is a forced subtitle track. Forced subtitle tracks are essential for the content and are shown even when the user turns off Captions. They are used for example to translate foreign/alien dialogs or signs. The associated value is an integer, where non-0 means TRUE. This is an optional field; if not specified, FORCED defaults to FALSE.

Constant Value: "is-forced-subtitle"

KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL

Added in API level 16

public static final String KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL

A key describing the frequency of key frames expressed in seconds between key frames.

This key is used by video encoders. A negative value means no key frames are requested after the first frame. A zero value means a stream containing all key frames is requested.

Most video encoders will convert this value of the number of non-key-frames between key-frames, using the frame rate information; therefore, if the actual frame rate differs (e.g. input frames are dropped or the frame rate changes), the time interval between key frames will not be the configured value.

The associated value is an integer (or float since Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1).

Constant Value: "i-frame-interval"

KEY_LANGUAGE

Added in API level 19

public static final String KEY_LANGUAGE

A key describing the language of the content, using either ISO 639-1 or 639-2/T codes. The associated value is a string.

Constant Value: "language"

KEY_LATENCY

Added in API level 26

public static final String KEY_LATENCY

An optional key describing the desired encoder latency in frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. If encoder supports it, it should ouput at least one output frame after being queued the specified number of frames. This key is ignored if the video encoder does not support the latency feature. Use the output format to verify that this feature was enabled and the actual value used by the encoder.

If the key is not specified, the default latency will be implenmentation specific. The associated value is an integer.

Constant Value: "latency"

KEY_LEVEL

Added in API level 23

public static final String KEY_LEVEL

A key describing the desired profile to be used by an encoder.

The associated value is an integer. Constants are declared in MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel. This key is used as a further hint when specifying a desired profile, and is only supported for codecs that specify a level.

This key is ignored if the profile is not specified. Otherwise, the value should be a level compatible with the configured encoding parameters.

Note: This key cannot be used to constrain the encoder's output to a maximum encoding level. Encoders are free to target a different level if the configured encoding parameters dictate it. Nevertheless, encoders shall use (and encode) a level sufficient to decode the generated bitstream, though they may exceed the (Video) Buffering Verifier limits for that encoded level.

See also:

• MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.profileLevels

Constant Value: "level"

KEY_LOW_LATENCY

Added in API level 30

public static final String KEY_LOW_LATENCY

The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "low-latency"

KEY_MAX_B_FRAMES

Added in API level 29

public static final String KEY_MAX_B_FRAMES

A key describing the maximum number of B frames between I or P frames, to be used by a video encoder. The associated value is an integer. The default value is 0, which means that no B frames are allowed. Note that non-zero value does not guarantee B frames; it's up to the encoder to decide.

Constant Value: "max-bframes"

KEY_MAX_FPS_TO_ENCODER

Added in API level 29

public static final String KEY_MAX_FPS_TO_ENCODER

Instruct the video encoder in "surface-input" mode to drop excessive frames from the source, so that the input frame rate to the encoder does not exceed the specified fps. The associated value is a float, representing the max frame rate to feed the encoder at.

A key describing the maximum size in bytes of a buffer of data described by this MediaFormat. The associated value is an integer

Constant Value: "max-input-size"

KEY_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

Added in API level 32

public static final String KEY_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

A key describing the maximum number of channels that can be output by an audio decoder. By default, the decoder will output the same number of channels as present in the encoded stream, if supported. Set this value to limit the number of output channels, and use the downmix information in the stream, if available.

Values larger than the number of channels in the content to decode behave like the number of channels in the content (if applicable), for instance passing 99 for a 5.1 audio stream behaves like passing 6.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "max-output-channel-count"

KEY_MAX_PTS_GAP_TO_ENCODER

Added in API level 29

public static final String KEY_MAX_PTS_GAP_TO_ENCODER

Instruct the video encoder in "surface-input" mode to limit the gap of timestamp between any two adjacent frames fed to the encoder to the specified amount (in micro-second). The associated value is a long int. When positive, it represents the max timestamp gap between two adjacent frames fed to the encoder. When negative, the absolute value represents a fixed timestamp gap between any two adjacent frames fed to the encoder. Note that this will also apply even when the original timestamp goes backward in time. Under normal conditions, such frames would be dropped and not sent to the encoder. The output timestamp will be restored to the original timestamp and will not be affected. This is used in some special scenarios where input frames arrive sparingly but it's undesirable to allocate more bits to any single frame, or when it's important to ensure all frames are captured (rather than captured in the correct order).

Constant Value: "max-pts-gap-to-encoder"

KEY_MAX_WIDTH

KEY_OPERATING_RATE

Added in API level 23

public static final String KEY_OPERATING_RATE

A key describing the desired operating frame rate for video or sample rate for audio that the codec will need to operate at.

The associated value is an integer or a float representing frames-per-second or samples-per-second

This is used for cases like high-speed/slow-motion video capture, where the video encoder format contains the target playback rate (e.g. 30fps), but the component must be able to handle the high operating capture rate (e.g. 240fps).

This rate will be used by codec for resource planning and setting the operating points.

Constant Value: "operating-rate"

KEY_OUTPUT_REORDER_DEPTH

Added in API level 28

public static final String KEY_OUTPUT_REORDER_DEPTH

An optional key describing the maximum number of non-display-order coded frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. Application should check the value for this key in the output format to see if codec will produce non-display-order coded frames. If encoder supports it, the output frames' order will be different from the display order and each frame's display order could be retrived from MediaCodec.BufferInfo#presentationTimeUs. Before API level 27, application may receive non-display-order coded frames even though the application did not request it. Note: Application should not rearrange the frames to display order before feeding them to MediaMuxer#writeSampleData.

The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "output-reorder-depth"

KEY_PCM_ENCODING

Added in API level 24

public static final String KEY_PCM_ENCODING

A key describing the raw audio sample encoding/format.

The associated value is an integer, using one of the AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_ values.

This is an optional key for audio decoders and encoders specifying the desired raw audio sample format during MediaCodec.configure(…) call. Use MediaCodec.getInput/OutputFormat(…) to confirm the actual format. For the PCM decoder this key specifies both input and output sample encodings.

This key is also used by MediaExtractor to specify the sample format of audio data, if it is specified.

If this key is missing, the raw audio sample format is signed 16-bit short.

Constant Value: "pcm-encoding"

KEY_PICTURE_TYPE

An optional key describing whether encoders prepend headers to sync frames (e.g. SPS and PPS to IDR frames for H.264). This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. A video encoder may not support this feature; the component will fail to configure in that case. For other components, this key is ignored. The value is an integer, with 1 indicating to prepend headers to every sync frames, or 0 otherwise. The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "prepend-sps-pps-to-idr-frames"

KEY_PRIORITY

Added in API level 23

public static final String KEY_PRIORITY

A key describing the desired codec priority.

The associated value is an integer. Higher value means lower priority.

Currently, only two levels are supported:
0: realtime priority - meaning that the codec shall support the given performance configuration (e.g. framerate) at realtime. This should only be used by media playback, capture, and possibly by realtime communication scenarios if best effort performance is not suitable.
1: non-realtime priority (best effort).

This is a hint used at codec configuration and resource planning - to understand the realtime requirements of the application; however, due to the nature of media components, performance is not guaranteed.

Constant Value: "priority"

KEY_PROFILE

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_PROFILE

A key describing the desired profile to be used by an encoder.

The associated value is an integer. Constants are declared in MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel. This key is used as a hint, and is only supported for codecs that specify a profile. When configuring profile, encoder configuration may fail if other parameters are not compatible with the desired profile or if the desired profile is not supported, but it may also fail silently (where the encoder ends up using a different, compatible profile.)

It is recommended that the profile is set for all encoders. For more information, see the Encoder Profiles section of the MediaCodec API reference.

Note: Codecs are free to use all the available coding tools at the specified profile, but may ultimately choose to not do so.

Note: When configuring video encoders, profile (if set) must be set together with level.

A key describing the plane height of a multi-planar (YUV) video bytebuffer layout. Slice height (or plane height/vertical stride) is the number of rows that must be skipped to get from the top of the Y plane to the top of the U plane in the bytebuffer. In essence the offset of the U plane is sliceHeight * stride. The height of the U/V planes can be calculated based on the color format, though it is generally undefined and depends on the device and release. The associated value is an integer, representing number of rows.

Constant Value: "slice-height"

KEY_SLOW_MOTION_MARKERS

Added in API level 31

public static final String KEY_SLOW_MOTION_MARKERS

A key for retrieving the slow-motion marker information associated with a video track.

The associated value is a ByteBuffer in ByteOrder#BIG_ENDIAN (networking order) of the following format:

     float(32) playbackRate;
     unsigned int(32) numMarkers;
     for (i = 0;i < numMarkers; i++) {
         int(64) timestampUs;
         float(32) speedRatio;
     }

The meaning of each field is as follows:

playbackRate	The frame rate at which the playback should happen (or the flattened clip should be).
numMarkers	The number of slow-motion markers that follows.
timestampUs	The starting point of a new segment.
speedRatio	The playback speed for that segment. The playback speed is a floating point number, indicating how fast the time progresses relative to that written in the container. (Eg. 4.0 means time goes 4x as fast, which makes 30fps become 120fps.)

The following constraints apply to the timestampUs of the markers:

The timestampUs shall be monotonically increasing.

The timestampUs shall fall within the time span of the video track.

The first timestampUs should match that of the first video sample.

Constant Value: "slow-motion-markers"

KEY_STRIDE

Added in API level 23

public static final String KEY_STRIDE

A key describing the stride of the video bytebuffer layout. Stride (or row increment) is the difference between the index of a pixel and that of the pixel directly underneath. For YUV 420 formats, the stride corresponds to the Y plane; the stride of the U and V planes can be calculated based on the color format, though it is generally undefined and depends on the device and release. The associated value is an integer, representing number of bytes.

Constant Value: "stride"

KEY_TEMPORAL_LAYERING

Added in API level 21

public static final String KEY_TEMPORAL_LAYERING

A key describing the temporal layering schema. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders.

Added in API level 28

public static final String MIMETYPE_IMAGE_ANDROID_HEIC

MIME type for HEIF still image data encoded in HEVC. To decode such an image, MediaCodec decoder for MIMETYPE_VIDEO_HEVC shall be used. The client needs to form the correct MediaFormat() based on additional information in the track format (shown in the next paragraph), and send it to MediaCodec#configure. The track's MediaFormat will come with KEY_WIDTH and KEY_HEIGHT keys, which describes the width and height of the image. If the image doesn't contain grid (i.e. none of KEY_TILE_WIDTH, KEY_TILE_HEIGHT, KEY_GRID_ROWS, KEY_GRID_COLUMNS are present), the track will contain a single sample of coded data for the entire image, and the image width and height should be used to set up the decoder. If the image does come with grid, each sample from the track will contain one tile in the grid, of which the size is described by KEY_TILE_WIDTH and KEY_TILE_HEIGHT. This size (instead of KEY_WIDTH and KEY_HEIGHT) should be used to set up the decoder. The track contains KEY_GRID_ROWS by KEY_GRID_COLUMNS samples in row-major, top-row first, left-to-right order. The output image should be reconstructed by first tiling the decoding results of the tiles in the correct order, then trimming (before rotation is applied) on the bottom and right side, if the tiled area is larger than the image width and height.

If the image doesn't contain grid (i.e. none of KEY_TILE_WIDTH, KEY_TILE_HEIGHT, KEY_GRID_ROWS, KEY_GRID_COLUMNS are present), the track will contain a single sample of coded data for the entire image, and the image width and height should be used to set up the decoder. If the image does come with grid, each sample from the track will contain one tile in the grid, of which the size is described by KEY_TILE_WIDTH and KEY_TILE_HEIGHT. This size (instead of KEY_WIDTH and KEY_HEIGHT) should be used to set up the decoder. The track contains KEY_GRID_ROWS by KEY_GRID_COLUMNS samples in row-major, top-row first, left-to-right order. The output image should be reconstructed by first tiling the decoding results of the tiles in the correct order, then trimming (before rotation is applied) on the bottom and right side, if the tiled area is larger than the image width and height.
