# referenceURL

The Assets Library URL for the original version of the picked item.

```
static let referenceURL: UIImagePickerController.InfoKey
```

## Discussion

After the user edits a picked item—such as by cropping an image or trimming a movie—the URL continues to point to the original version of the picked item.

The value for this key is an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSURL> object.
