Image Advanced Compression

Last updated: 2024-06-12 15:20:05

    Overview

    COS uses the imageMogr2 API of Cloud Infinite (CI) to perform Image Advanced Compression, which allows you to easily convert images into formats that provide a high compression ratio, such as TPG and HEIF. This effectively reduces the transmission time, loading time, and the use of bandwidth and traffic.
    An image can be processed:
    Upon download
    Upon upload
    In cloud
    Feature
    Description
    TPG compression
    TPG is a Tencent-designed image format. Converting JPG, PNG, WebP images into TPG can greatly reduce the image sizes.
    HEIF compression
    If your images are used in iOS environments, you can convert them from JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or other formats into HEIF, which offers an ultra-high compression ratio.
    Note:
    To use Image Advanced Compression, enable this feature on the desired bucket’s configuration page. For more information, please see Setting Advanced Compression.
    To use the TPG format, ensure that the environment where images are loaded supports TPG decoding. Tencent Cloud CI provides the TPG decoder−integrated SDKs for iOS, Android, and Windows clients to facilitate quick integration with TPG.
    Currently, iOS 11 or later and Android P have native support for the HEIF format.
    Image Advanced Compression is charged by CI. For detailed pricing, please see Billing and Pricing.

    API Format

    1. Processing upon download

    download_url?imageMogr2/format/<Format>

    2. Processing upon upload

    PUT /<ObjectKey> HTTP/1.1
    Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
    Date: GMT Date
    Authorization: Auth String
    Pic-Operations: 
    {
      "is_pic_info": 1,
      "rules": [{
          "fileid": "exampleobject",
          "rule": "imageMogr2/format/<Format>"
      }]
    }

    3. Processing in-cloud data

    POST /<ObjectKey>?image_process HTTP/1.1
    Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
    Date: GMT Date
    Content-length: Size
    Authorization: Auth String
    Pic-Operations:

          "rule": "imageMogr2/format/<Format>"
      }]
    }
    Note:
    Processing upon download is used as an example here, which does not store the output image in a bucket. If you need to store the output image, please see Persistent Image Processing and use Processing upon upload or Processing in-cloud data.
