# Delx Image Transform

> Delx Image Transform is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Resize or convert a single base64-encoded PNG, JPEG, or WebP image to a specified max dimension and output format, returning a durable artifact with a SHA-256 receipt

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 delx-image-transform-c8967294 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this base64-encoded PNG image and resize it so the longest side is no more than 512 pixels, convert it to WebP format with a quality of 80, and give me back the transformed image.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, auditable, pay-per-call image resize or format conversion without any API key, subscription, or AI upscaling. It is ideal for agents that handle one image at a time and require a SHA-256 receipt for auditability. Prefer it over SaaS image transformation services when privacy matters (no input retention) and micropayment billing via x402/USDC is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Image exceeds 6 MiB decoded size — returns an error indicating the input limit was exceeded
- Invalid base64 encoding or unsupported image format — returns a parse or format error
- max_dimension value not in the allowed enum [256,512,768,1024,1536,2048] — returns a validation error
- quality value outside the 40–95 range — returns a validation error
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout or server error — returns a 5xx response with no receipt issued

## How this service works

Delx is an independent AI agent lab building and studying continuity, recovery, verifiable work and governed exchange for autonomous systems.

## Output

Returns a durable transformed image (WebP, PNG, or JPEG) in base64 or as a downloadable artifact, along with a SHA-256 hash receipt confirming the output integrity. No input is retained after processing.
