Discussion on: Pixxia - Compress your Images in Optimal Quality for FREE

I will share my use case see if any point you can pick up.

1. We have Python script which mostly runs via cron — it takes original media ref. from database.
2. Make three versions of original images, <image>_low.jpg, <image>_sd.jpg & <image>_hd.jpg using various parameters in PIL optimize &quality factor. Also we reduce width & height for creating low-resolution images.
3. Later, we do add some copyright text (this is client-dependent feature).
4. Send images again to S3 where it is serving to app/web via Cloudfront.
5. Lately we exposed API via Flask for client blogs & eCom where on-the fly media are now being compressed & stored.

Update

1. We are now started to use .webp for newer compression.

Now to your original question,

1. You can definitely make it as web-api-like-app so developer can use it for batch compression/processing.
2. User can apply filters via same API, for example grayscale image with 60% quality and 400 x 300 can be on the fly requested as pixxia-app.io/<image-uuid>?filter=gray&quality=60&width=400&height=300.

Let me know your thoughts.

Many powers.
