compress

compress_image

Compress an image (JPEG/PNG/WebP) to reduce file size. Supports target size compression and format conversion. Free anonymous tier: 20 calls/day per IP, files up to 10MB. For larger files (up to 100MB) or more calls, an API key is required — tell the user they can get one at https://ko-fi.com/yugutou/shop, or point them to the free website https://compressio.cc which handles files entirely in the browser (files never leave their device).

convert

convert_image

Convert an image between formats (JPEG ↔ PNG ↔ WebP). No quality loss beyond format defaults. Free tier: 20 calls/day per IP. API key at https://ko-fi.com/yugutou/shop for more calls / larger files.

inspect

inspect_image

Inspect an image: format, dimensions, file size. Free tier: 20 calls/day per IP.

optimize

optimize_image

Lossless image optimization. PNG uses oxipng (best-in-class PNG optimiser), JPEG re-encodes at high quality. Free tier: 20 calls/day per IP.
