# Bacon Services Web Image Optimizer

> Bacon Services Web Image Optimizer is a paid API for AI agents from baconservices.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).

Resizes an image so its longest side is at most a specified pixel limit and re-encodes it as WebP at a given quality, preserving transparency but discarding metadata.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 bacon-services-web-image-optimizer-9fef1d0e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you resize this image (https://example.com/photo.jpg) so its longest side is at most 1200 pixels and convert it to WebP at quality 75?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, low-cost ($0.01 per call) serverless operation to resize and convert one image to WebP without upscaling, especially when preserving transparency matters and stripping EXIF metadata is acceptable. Prefer it over general-purpose image CDNs when you want deterministic per-call pricing and x402 micropayment compatibility. If you need background removal, use the sibling Remove Background endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 response — request fails with an error
- Unsupported source format (e.g. GIF, TIFF, SVG) — format error returned
- max_width or quality value out of allowed range — validation error
- Image is already smaller than max_width — returned as-is (no upscaling, but still re-encoded to WebP)
- Network timeout fetching remote image URL — timeout error
- Base64 payload is malformed or too large — decoding error

## How this service works

Web Image Optimizer: Resizes one image so its longest side is at most max_width pixels (never enlarging it) and encodes it as WebP at the given quality. Transparency is kept. Metadata is not carried over, so a JPEG's EXIF orientation is not applied.

## Output

The endpoint returns the processed image as a WebP-encoded file. The output image has its longest side capped at the requested max_width (never upscaled), encoded at the specified WebP quality. Transparency from the source PNG or WebP is preserved; EXIF and other metadata are stripped.
