# NanoAPI Image Compress

> NanoAPI Image Compress is a paid API for AI agents from nanoapi.org, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Compresses an uploaded image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF) to a target quality level and returns the compressed JPEG binary

## Facts

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 nanoapi-image-compress-fc8bd7e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compress this product photo for me — squeeze it down to quality 75 so it loads faster on the website, it's a JPEG under 10MB.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to reduce image file size programmatically without requiring signup or API keys, paying only $0.01 USDC per call via x402 protocol on Base or Solana. Ideal for pay-per-use workflows where no subscription is desired and the agent handles micropayments natively.

## Known failure modes

- Image exceeds 10MB limit — request rejected
- Unsupported image format provided — only PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF accepted
- Quality parameter out of range (must be 1–100)
- Payment not completed via x402 protocol — 402 response returned
- Malformed or corrupted image binary — processing error
- Network timeout on large image upload

## How this service works

Pay-per-use APIs for AI agents: image processing and Solana data endpoints. $0.001-$0.01 USDC per call on Base or Solana via x402 protocol. No signup or API keys required.

## Output

Raw binary JPEG data of the compressed image at the requested quality level, returned directly in the response body
