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.
CI launched the WebP compression feature to convert images to .webp format, which is superior to .jpg in terms of compression. A .webp image is over 25% smaller than a .jpg image with the same quality. This format is suitable for multi-terminal use cases.
Restrictions
Format: Images in JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, HEIF, or AVIF format can be converted to WebP format.
Size: The input image cannot be larger than 32 MB, with its width and height not exceeding 30,000 pixels respectively, and the total number of pixels not exceeding 250 million. The width and height of the output image cannot exceed 9,999 pixels respectively. For an animated input image, the total number of pixels (width * height * number of frames) cannot exceed 250 million.
Frames (for animated images): For GIF images, the number of frames cannot exceed 300.
Directions
CI uses the imageMogr2 API to provide the WebP compression feature.
This feature supports processing:
During download
During upload
In the cloud
Note:
WebP compression is billed at basic image processing prices. For detailed pricing, see Image Processing Fees.
If an image is converted to WebP format, some browsers may not be able to read its EXIF data. As a result, the image cannot be rotated. You can add the auto-orient parameter to rotate the input image first before compressing it (see Rotation) .
WebP compression inherits the quality parameters of the input image by default. You can adjust the compression ratio by modifying the image quality as instructed in Quality Change.
Authorization: Auth String (for more information, see Request Signature).
When this feature is used by a sub-account, relevant permissions must be granted. For more information, see Authorization Granularity Details.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
ObjectKey
Object name, such as folder/sample.jpg.
/format/<Format>
Compression format, which is webp here.
Samples
Note:
Processing during 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 during upload or processing in-cloud data instead.
Assume the input image is a 1,335.2 KB image in PNG format.
You can convert the image to WebP format by using the following request URL:
