The nature of image formed by a convex mirror for any object position is :
Virtual, erect and diminished
A convex mirror is a diverging mirror, and for any position of the object in front of it, the reflected rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.
This always produces a virtual image that is erect (upright) with respect to the object and diminished (smaller) in size compared to the object, regardless of how far or near the object is placed.
Real images, inverted images, or enlarged images are not possible with a convex mirror for any object position, unlike a concave mirror where the image nature varies.
Therefore, the image formed by a convex mirror for any object position is virtual, erect and diminished.
