## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 image converteds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Bulk Image Converter & Compressor - WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG

Convert and compress **thousands of images** from URLs in one run: **WebP, AVIF, JPEG or PNG**, resize to a maximum width/height, hit a **target file size**, auto-rotate phone photos, and **strip EXIF/GPS metadata** by default. Each result has a download link and the bytes saved.

**$0.002 per image** up to 4 megapixels, plus **$0.0002 per extra megapixel** of the input image (a 12 MP phone photo costs $0.0036). No start fee. Images that fail are free.

### Quick start: example input, output and cost

Convert images to WebP, AVIF, JPEG or PNG in bulk, resize, compress to a target size, strip EXIF and GPS. $0.002 per image, failed images free.

**Example input**

```json
{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://www.python.org/static/img/python-logo.png"
  ]
}
```

**Cost example:** 1,000 images up to 4 MP x $0.002 = **$2.00**.

### Use cases

- Shop and CMS image optimisation (WebP/AVIF for faster pages and better Core Web Vitals).
- Thumbnails and resized product images.
- Removing location data from photos before publishing.

### Output (one item per image)

`url (download link), key, sourceUrl, format, width, height, originalWidth, originalHeight, originalBytes, bytes, savingsPercent, quality, targetMet, metadataStripped`. Files are in the run's key-value store. Totals in **SUMMARY**, failures in **ERRORS**.

### Use it in n8n, Make or Zapier (no code)

This actor works with Apify's official integrations, so you can send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, a CRM or any of thousands of other apps.

**n8n**: [n8n.io](https://n8n.io)

1. In the Nodes panel, search **Apify** and install the verified node. Add your Apify API token.
2. Choose **Actors > Run actor and get dataset**, Actor source **Apify Store**, Actor URL `https://apify.com/sophisticated_occasion/bulk-image-converter-compressor`.
3. Paste the input below into **Input JSON**. Each result item becomes an n8n item.

**Make**: [make.com](https://www.make.com/en/register)

1. Add the **Apify > Run an Actor** module, select this actor, turn on *Run synchronously*.
2. Add **Apify > Get Dataset Items** and map the `defaultDatasetId` from step 1.
3. Connect any app (Google Sheets > Add a Row, Slack > Create a Message, ...).

**Zapier:** use the **Apify** app, action **Run Actor** (pick this actor, paste the input), then **Fetch Dataset Items**.

**Example input**

```json
{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://www.python.org/static/img/python-logo.png"
  ],
  "format": "webp",
  "quality": 80,
  "maxWidth": 0
}
```

**API (any language):** `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sophisticated_occasion~bulk-image-converter-compressor/run-sync-get-dataset-items` with header `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>` and the input above as the JSON body.

### Limits and safety

Up to 30 MB and 50 megapixels per image (protection against decompression bombs). Animated images are converted as their first frame.

### Responsible use

Only process images you own or are allowed to use. We follow **robots.txt** for every download, make about one request per second per site, use an honest User-Agent (`ImageConverter/1.0`), and do not process images from social networks.

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Image converted | $0.002 |
| Extra megapixel above 4 MP (input image) | $0.0002 |

# Actor input Schema

## `imageUrls` (type: `array`):

Direct links to images you own or may use (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF). Up to 10,000.

## `format` (type: `string`):

Target format.

## `quality` (type: `integer`):

1-100 for WebP, AVIF and JPEG (ignored for PNG).

## `maxWidth` (type: `integer`):

0 = keep. Images are never enlarged; aspect ratio is kept.

## `maxHeight` (type: `integer`):

0 = keep.

## `targetMaxKb` (type: `integer`):

0 = off. Lowers quality step by step until the file fits (WebP, AVIF, JPEG). targetMet tells you if it worked.

## `stripMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Removes camera data and GPS location (privacy). The colour profile is kept.

## `background` (type: `string`):

Used when converting transparent images to JPEG.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "imageUrls": [

  "quality": 80,
  "maxWidth": 0,
  "maxHeight": 0,
  "targetMaxKb": 0,
  "stripMetadata": true,

```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

## `summary` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://www.python.org/static/img/python-logo.png"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("sophisticated_occasion/bulk-image-converter-compressor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)

console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://www.python.org/static/img/python-logo.png"
  ]
}' |
apify call sophisticated_occasion/bulk-image-converter-compressor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,sophisticated_occasion/bulk-image-converter-compressor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
