## C Specification

The `VkImageCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkImageCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        const void*              pNext;
        VkImageCreateFlags       flags;
        VkImageType              imageType;
        VkFormat                 format;
        VkExtent3D               extent;

        VkSharingMode            sharingMode;
        uint32_t                 queueFamilyIndexCount;
        const uint32_t*          pQueueFamilyIndices;
        VkImageLayout            initialLayout;
    } VkImageCreateInfo;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkImageCreateFlagBits describing additional parameters of the image.

- `imageType` is a VkImageType value specifying the basic dimensionality of the image. Layers in array textures do not count as a dimension for the purposes of the image type.

- `format` is a VkFormat describing the format and type of the texel blocks that will be contained in the image.

- `extent` is a VkExtent3D describing the number of data elements in each dimension of the base level.

- `mipLevels` describes the number of levels of detail available for minified sampling of the image.

- `arrayLayers` is the number of layers in the image.

- `samples` is a VkSampleCountFlagBits value specifying the number of samples per texel.

- `tiling` is a VkImageTiling value specifying the tiling arrangement of the texel blocks in memory.

- `usage` is a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits describing the intended usage of the image.

- `sharingMode` is a VkSharingMode value specifying the sharing mode of the image when it will be accessed by multiple queue families.

- `queueFamilyIndexCount` is the number of entries in the `pQueueFamilyIndices` array.

- `pQueueFamilyIndices` is a pointer to an array of queue families that will access this image. It is ignored if `sharingMode` is not `VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT`.

- `initialLayout` is a VkImageLayout value specifying the initial VkImageLayout of all image subresources of the image. See Image Layouts.

## Description

Images created with `tiling` equal to `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR` have further restrictions on their limits and capabilities compared to images created with `tiling` equal to `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`. Creation of images with tiling `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR` may not be supported unless other parameters meet all of the constraints:

- `imageType` is `VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D`

- `format` is not a depth/stencil format

- `mipLevels` is 1

- `arrayLayers` is 1

- `samples` is `VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT`

- `usage` only includes `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT` and/or `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT`

Images created with one of the formats that require a sampler Y′CBCR conversion, have further restrictions on their limits and capabilities compared to images created with other formats. Creation of images with a format requiring Y′CBCR conversion may not be supported unless other parameters meet all of the constraints:

- `imageType` is `VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D`

- `mipLevels` is 1

- `arrayLayers` is 1, unless the `ycbcrImageArrays` feature is enabled, or otherwise indicated by VkImageFormatProperties::`maxArrayLayers`, as returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties

- `samples` is `VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT`

Implementations may support additional limits and capabilities beyond those listed above.

To determine the set of valid `usage` bits for a given format, call vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties.

If the size of the resultant image would exceed `maxResourceSize`, then vkCreateImage must fail and return `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`. This failure may occur even when all image creation parameters satisfy their valid usage requirements.

| Note For images created without `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT` a `usage` bit is valid if it is supported for the format the image is created with. For images created with `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT` a `usage` bit is valid if it is supported for at least one of the formats a `VkImageView` created from the image can have (see Image Views for more detail).

Image Creation Limits

Valid values for some image creation parameters are limited by a numerical upper bound or by inclusion in a bitset. For example, VkImageCreateInfo::`arrayLayers` is limited by `imageCreateMaxArrayLayers`, defined below; and VkImageCreateInfo::`samples` is limited by `imageCreateSampleCounts`, also defined below.

Several limiting values are defined below, as well as assisting values from which the limiting values are derived. The limiting values are referenced by the relevant valid usage statements of VkImageCreateInfo.

- Let `uint64_t imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers[]` be the set of Linux DRM format modifiers that the resultant image may have.

  - If `tiling` is not `VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT`, then `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers` is empty.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains VkImageDrmFormatModifierExplicitCreateInfoEXT, then `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers` contains exactly one modifier, VkImageDrmFormatModifierExplicitCreateInfoEXT::`drmFormatModifier`.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT, then `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers` contains the entire array VkImageDrmFormatModifierListCreateInfoEXT::`pDrmFormatModifiers`.

- Let `VkBool32 imageCreateMaybeLinear` indicate if the resultant image may be linear.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR`, then `imageCreateMaybeLinear` is `VK_TRUE`.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`, then `imageCreateMaybeLinear` is `VK_FALSE`.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT`, then `imageCreateMaybeLinear` is `VK_TRUE` if and only if `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers` contains `DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR`.

- Let `VkFormatFeatureFlags imageCreateFormatFeatures` be the set of valid format features available during image creation.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR`, then `imageCreateFormatFeatures` is the value of VkFormatProperties::`linearTilingFeatures` found by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties with parameter `format` equal to VkImageCreateInfo::`format`.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`, and if the `pNext` chain includes no VkExternalFormatANDROID structure with non-zero `externalFormat`, then `imageCreateFormatFeatures` is the value of VkFormatProperties::`optimalTilingFeatures` found by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties with parameter `format` equal to VkImageCreateInfo::`format`.

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL`, and if the `pNext` chain includes a VkExternalFormatANDROID structure with non-zero `externalFormat`, then `imageCreateFormatFeatures` is the value of VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID::`formatFeatures` obtained by vkGetAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID with a matching `externalFormat` value.

  - If the `pNext` chain includes a VkBufferCollectionImageCreateInfoFUCHSIA structure, then `imageCreateFormatFeatures` is the value of VkBufferCollectionPropertiesFUCHSIA::`formatFeatures` found by calling vkGetBufferCollectionPropertiesFUCHSIA with a parameter `collection` equal to VkBufferCollectionImageCreateInfoFUCHSIA::`collection`

  - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT`, then the value of `imageCreateFormatFeatures` is found by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties2 with VkImageFormatProperties::`format` equal to VkImageCreateInfo::`format` and with VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT chained into VkFormatProperties2; by collecting all members of the returned array VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesListEXT::`pDrmFormatModifierProperties` whose `drmFormatModifier` belongs to `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers`; and by taking the bitwise intersection, over the collected array members, of `drmFormatModifierTilingFeatures`. (The resultant `imageCreateFormatFeatures` may be empty).

- Let `VkImageFormatProperties2 imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList[]` be defined as follows.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains no VkExternalFormatANDROID structure with non-zero `externalFormat`, then `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is the list of structures obtained by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2, possibly multiple times, as follows:

    - The parameters VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`format`, `imageType`, `tiling`, `usage`, and `flags` must be equal to those in VkImageCreateInfo.

    - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains a VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo structure whose `handleTypes` is not `0`, then VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` must contain a VkPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatInfo structure whose `handleType` is not `0`; and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2 must be called for each handle type in VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo::`handleTypes`, successively setting VkPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatInfo::`handleType` on each call.

    - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains no VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo structure, or contains a structure whose `handleTypes` is `0`, then VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` must either contain no VkPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatInfo structure, or contain a structure whose `handleType` is `0`.

    - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains a VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure then VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` must also contain the same VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure on each call.

    - If `tiling` is `VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT`, then:

      - VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` must contain a VkPhysicalDeviceImageDrmFormatModifierInfoEXT structure where `sharingMode` is equal to VkImageCreateInfo::`sharingMode`;

      - if `sharingMode` is `VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT`, then `queueFamilyIndexCount` and `pQueueFamilyIndices` must be equal to those in VkImageCreateInfo;

      - if `flags` contains `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_MUTABLE_FORMAT_BIT`, then the VkImageFormatListCreateInfo structure included in the `pNext` chain of VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2 must be equivalent to the one included in the `pNext` chain of VkImageCreateInfo;

      - if VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains a VkImageCompressionControlEXT structure, then the VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` chain must contain an equivalent structure;

      - vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2 must be called for each modifier in `imageCreateDrmFormatModifiers`, successively setting VkPhysicalDeviceImageDrmFormatModifierInfoEXT::`drmFormatModifier` on each call.

    - If `tiling` is not `VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT`, then VkPhysicalDeviceImageFormatInfo2::`pNext` must contain no VkPhysicalDeviceImageDrmFormatModifierInfoEXT structure.

    - If any call to vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2 returns an error, then `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is defined to be the empty list.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains a VkExternalFormatANDROID structure with non-zero `externalFormat`, then `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` contains a single element where:

    - `VkImageFormatProperties`::`maxMipLevels` is ⌊log2(max(`extent.width`, `extent.height`, `extent.depth`))⌋ + 1.

    - `VkImageFormatProperties`::`maxArrayLayers` is VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::`maxImageArrayLayers`.

    - Each component of `VkImageFormatProperties`::`maxExtent` is VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::`maxImageDimension2D`.

    - `VkImageFormatProperties`::`sampleCounts` contains exactly `VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT`.

- Let `uint32_t imageCreateMaxMipLevels` be the minimum value of VkImageFormatProperties::`maxMipLevels` in `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList`. The value is undefined if `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is empty.

- Let `uint32_t imageCreateMaxArrayLayers` be the minimum value of VkImageFormatProperties::`maxArrayLayers` in `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList`. The value is undefined if `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is empty.

- Let `VkExtent3D imageCreateMaxExtent` be the component-wise minimum over all VkImageFormatProperties::`maxExtent` values in `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList`. The value is undefined if `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is empty.

- Let `VkSampleCountFlags imageCreateSampleCounts` be the intersection of each VkImageFormatProperties::`sampleCounts` in `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList`. The value is undefined if `imageCreateImageFormatPropertiesList` is empty.

- Let `VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR videoFormatProperties[]` be defined as follows.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains a VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure, then `videoFormatProperties` is the list of structures obtained by calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatPropertiesKHR with VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR::`imageUsage` equal to the `usage` member of VkImageCreateInfo and VkPhysicalDeviceVideoFormatInfoKHR::`pNext` containing the same VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure chained to VkImageCreateInfo.

  - If VkImageCreateInfo::`pNext` contains no VkVideoProfileListInfoKHR structure, then `videoFormatProperties` is an empty list.

- Let `VkBool32 supportedVideoFormat` indicate if the image parameters are supported by the specified video profiles.

  - `supportedVideoFormat` is `VK_TRUE` if there exists an element in the `videoFormatProperties` list for which all of the following conditions are true:

    - VkImageCreateInfo::`format` equals VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`format`.

    - VkImageCreateInfo::`flags` only contains bits also set in VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`imageCreateFlags`.

    - VkImageCreateInfo::`imageType` equals VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`imageType`.

    - VkImageCreateInfo::`tiling` equals VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`imageTiling`.

    - VkImageCreateInfo::`usage` only contains bits also set in VkVideoFormatPropertiesKHR::`imageUsageFlags`.

  - Otherwise `supportedVideoFormat` is `VK_FALSE`.
