FAQ about Abstract's
Image Processing & Optimization API
What is an Image Processing & Optimization API?
An Image Processing & Optimization API provides a set of tools for a user to manipulate an image programatically. This can include but is not limited to reducing the image size, changing the image's dimensions, and more.
What are the benefits to Image Processing & Optimization?
Image optimization has many technical, user experience, and economic benefits. First, programatic image processing such as through Abstract's API makes it easy for you to get images in a format that you require. Second, more optimized images are often smaller in size and load faster, and so result in a faster experience for users and overall a better user experience. And last, smaller images means less storage and lower costs. It's a win win win!
What's the trade off between size and quality in image optimization?
There are certainly trade offs to make between an image's size and its quality. The smaller an image is, the less quality it has, all things being equal. However, Abstract's Image Processing and Optimization API's are designed to reduce size without affecting quality too much. The trade offs between these two are also fully configurable in the API, so if you don't like the API's default settings, you can always change it.
