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.
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!
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.

Each of our API's has a free plan as well as several paid options, which offer a greater number of requests, a higher level of data quality, and greater speed for higher prices. Please see the page above or sign into your account to view pricing for each API.
Absolutely! We want you to try before you buy. Each of our API's has a free tier with a generous usage allowance for you to try the product out and verify that the speed and data quality work for you.
We use Stripe to accept payment via major debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). If you cannot use those payment methods, then contact us at team at abstractapi.com to arrange for an alternative payment method.
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time by visiting your dashboard. If you upgrade in the middle of a billing cycle, you will be charged a pro-rated amount for your new plan through the end of the billing cycle.
Yes, all of our subscriptions are month to month. You can cancel at any time, and you will not be charged again at the end of your billing cycle.
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Once canceled, your subscription will be active until the end your current billing cycle, and then it will be automatically moved to the free plan.
If your API usage exceeds the monthly limit set by your plan, then you will be charged a fee for each call over your limit. At the end of your billing period, your usage will reset again.
We do offer enterprise plans with custom features and pricing in limited circumstances. If our public pricing plans don't work for you, then contact us (team at abstractapi.com) and we'll work something out.
While we don't normally offer discounts, we do make exceptions for certain types of users and use cases. If you are a student or are engaged in academic work, or are working on a non-profit or open source project, we're happy to offer you discounts for our API's. Just email us at team at abstractapi.com.
All of our plans are currently paid month to month. We will be launching annual plans at a discount soon. If you're interested in an annual plan in the meantime, just contact us and we'll set you up.
We will typically attempt to charge your payment method up to three times after it fails. If we're still unable to collect payment, then your subscription will be automatically canceled and you'll be moved to the free plan.
Yes, a paid tier of our API may be used in conjunction with a commercial project. The free tiers of our API's may not be used in commercial projects.
