Format conversion
Request WebP or AVIF variants from the same origin image without a separate export workflow.
image compression api
Compress images by URL without running image workers
Point Skymage at an existing public image, then request compressed WebP or AVIF output with explicit width, crop, and quality parameters for every product, CMS, avatar, or gallery surface.

compression controls
Compression should be tied to the rendered image slot
A useful image compression API does not apply one quality setting everywhere. It lets your app choose dimensions, format, quality, and crop for each output.
Quality by surface
Use different quality targets for thumbnails, product cards, avatars, heroes, and gallery detail.
Cacheable outputs
Keep compressed variants stable behind predictable URLs so repeat traffic stays fast.
api patterns
Expose compression as URL parameters your app can own
Build Skymage URLs in components, helpers, serializers, or CMS templates. Your application keeps layout intent visible while Skymage handles compression and delivery.
| Output | Skymage compression URL |
|---|---|
| Product card | ?w=520&h=650&fit=cover&f=webp&q=82 |
| CMS hero | ?w=1440&h=810&fit=cover&f=avif&q=84 |
| Avatar | ?w=96&h=96&fit=cover&f=webp&q=78 |
| Gallery detail | ?w=1600&fit=inside&f=avif&q=85 |
proof path
A first compression API test should prove four things
Origin fit
The API can transform image URLs you already expose publicly.
Byte savings
Compressed variants reduce transfer compared with the current source.
Visual quality
Product detail, text edges, faces, or gallery zoom quality still pass review.
Rollout scope
One helper or template can reuse the winning compression pattern.
free check
Find the first image compression API URL to test
Send one public page or image path. The free audit will identify the first source image, compression parameters to try, and whether Skymage fits your current origin.
