## Breaking change description

**In Strapi v4**

The `isSupportedImage` method is supported, but deprecated.

**In Strapi 5**

The `isSupportedImage` method is removed.

Developers must use either `isImage` to check if a file is an image, or `isOptimizableImage` to check if the file is an image that can be optimized.

## Manual migration

Replace occurences of the `isSupportedImage` method in your code by the appropriate method, `isImage` or `isOptimizableImage`, depending on your needs. Note that the behavior in Strapi v4 was equivalent to `isOptimizableImage`.
