TPG Compression

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

    Feature Overview

    Image compression is the process of downsizing an image as much as possible without sacrificing quality so that it can be stored at a lower cost and accessed more quickly.
    COS launched the TPG compression feature based on CI to convert images into TPG format, a Tencent-developed format with animated image support. Currently, products such as QQ Browser and Qzone have TPG support by default. TPG offers over 90% smaller file sizes at the same quality compared with GIF, and over 50% smaller file sizes compared with PNG.

    Restrictions

    Format: Images in JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, WebP, HEIF, AVIF, or other formats can be converted into TPG.
    Size: The input image cannot be larger than 32 MB, with its width and height not exceeding 30,000 pixels, and the total number of pixels not exceeding 250 million. The width and height of the output image cannot exceed 9,999 pixels. For an input animated image, the total number of pixels (Width x Height x Number of frames) cannot exceed 250 million pixels.
    Number of frames (for animated images): For GIF, the number of frames cannot exceed 300.

    Prerequisites

    To use TPG compression, enable the image advanced compression feature for your bucket on the bucket’s configuration page. For more information, please see Setting Image 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.

    Directions

    COS uses the imageMogr2 API of CI to provide the TPG compression feature.
    An image can be processed:
    Upon download
    Upon upload
    In cloud
    Note:
    TPG Compression is charged by CI at image advanced compression rates. For detailed pricing, see Image Processing Fees.

    Parameters

    Parameter
    Description
    download_url
    URL of the input image, formatted as &lt;BucketName-APPID>.cos.&lt;Region>.myqcloud.com/&lt;picture name>

    Examples

    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, use Processing upon upload or Processing in-cloud data instead.
    Assume that the input image is a 1,335.2 KB image in PNG format, as shown below:
    img
    
    
    You can convert the image into TPG format by using the following URL:
    http://example-1258125638.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/sample.png?imageMogr2/format/tpg
