Operation compress
The compress operation allows for the reduction of an image file's size, potentially with no noticeable loss in quality.
This is achieved through the use of various image compression algorithms, which are designed to remove redundant or unnecessary information from the image file while preserving the visual integrity of the image.
There are several types of image compression algorithms that can be used, each with their own trade-offs in terms of file size reduction and image quality.
The specific compression algorithm used is automatically selected by setting the quality option between the values: low, medium, high, best.
Available Options
| Option Name | Type | Possible Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| compression_level | string | low, medium, high, best | Tries to compress your file at different levels with no perceivable loss of quality |
| compression_target | string | gif, jpg, png | Sets the target format if it's different from the input's file format |
| allow_multiple_outputs | boolean | true, false | If the comparison produces more than one output file, by default all of them are compressed in just one file. Set this option to true if you want a download link for each file. |
