## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 24k-labs-image-compressor-6657780b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this image as a WEBP at quality 75 to shrink the file size for my website?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce image file size by re-encoding to JPEG or WEBP at a controlled quality level, especially when targeting web performance or storage savings. If you need to change image format without quality/compression control, prefer the format-conversion sibling endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported input image format returns an error
- Invalid quality value outside accepted range causes rejection
- Corrupted or non-image input returns a processing error
- Network timeout for very large input images

## How this service works

Re-encode an image as JPEG/WEBP at a target quality to shrink it.

## Output

Returns the re-encoded image binary (JPEG or WEBP) at the specified quality, resulting in a smaller file size than the original input image.
