You start by installing Tinify, which is TinyPNG's library for compression.Īnd then you can store the compressed file locally just like before.Īpart from just compressing the images, you can also resize them with TinyPNG's API. The full documentation for Python is here. Once you've the developer key, you can start compressing images using their service. PS: That's not my real key :D Get started But if do, you should probably check out their paid plans. For someone like me, that's a number I won't really be reaching in a month anytime soon. Do keep it mind that for the free account, you can only compress 500 images per month. Once you've registered, you'll get a mail from TinyPNG with a link and once you click on that, you'll go to your developers page which also has your API key and your usage information. So, go to Developer's API and enter your name and email. Setting upįirst of all, you need to have a developer key to connect to TinyPNG and use their services. And of-course we are going to using python. In this article I'll show you how I'm planning to automate the image compression process using TinyPNG's developer API. I've tried some other services as well, but TinyPNG is definitely the best as their compression ratio is quite impressive. They compress your images to a small size all the while keeping the image looking the same. Whenever I want to upload images with my articles, I make sure they are of the right size first and then I have to check the file sizes and if they are too big, I will have to compress them.
