## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Image Batch Optimizer

Optimize up to 50 images per run: convert formats (WebP/JPEG/PNG), resize, and compress.

### Features

- **Batch Processing**: Handle up to 50 images per run
- **Format Conversion**: Convert to WebP (recommended), JPEG, PNG, or keep original format
- **Resizing**: Resize images with customizable fit modes (inside, cover, contain, fill, outside)
- **Compression**: Adjust quality (1-100) for optimal file size vs visual quality tradeoff
- **Detailed Output**: Get original/optimized sizes, compression ratio, and final dimensions
- **Reliable**: Skip failed downloads and continue processing remaining images
- **Pay Per Use**: Only pay $0.01 per image processed

### Input

| Property | Type | Description | Example |
|----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `imageUrls` | Array[String] | List of image URLs to optimize (max 50) | `["https://example.com/photo.png"]` |
| `outputFormat` | String | Target format: `webp`, `jpeg`, `png`, `original` | `"webp"` |
| `quality` | Integer | Compression quality (1-100) | `80` |
| `maxWidth` | Integer | Maximum width in pixels (0 = no resize) | `800` |
| `maxHeight` | Integer | Maximum height in pixels (0 = no resize) | `600` |
| `fit` | String | Resize fit mode: `inside`, `cover`, `contain`, `fill`, `outside` | `"inside"` |

### Output

Dataset contains one record per processed image:

```json
{
  "originalUrl": "https://example.com/photo.png",
  "outputUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../photo.webp",
  "originalSize": 245600,
  "outputSize": 102340,
  "compressionRatio": "58.3%",
  "width": 800,
  "height": 600,
  "outputFormat": "webp",
  "disclaimer": "This tool optimizes images..."
}
````

### Pricing

- **$0.01 per image optimized** (Pay-Per-Event model)
- Failed images (download errors) are not charged

### Example

Input:

```json
{
  "imageUrls": ["https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png/280px-PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png"],
  "outputFormat": "webp",
  "quality": 80,
  "maxWidth": 600,
  "maxHeight": 600,
  "fit": "inside"
}
```

Result: PNG (280px, ~10KB) → WebP (280×280px, ~3KB), 70% compression, $0.01 charge.

### Disclaimer

This tool optimizes images using the open source Sharp library (Apache 2.0 license). Output quality depends on input image format and content. Original files are not modified. Processed images are stored temporarily in Apify Key-Value Store and may expire. Always verify output before use in production.
