## 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 pixo-tools-image-compress-convert-d8545b90 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this image file I'm uploading? I want to reduce its file size as much as possible.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to reduce the byte size of an image file or convert it to a more efficient format, especially in automated pipelines where images must be optimized before storage or delivery. Prefer this over PDF compression siblings when the input is a raster image rather than a document.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported image format returns 400 or similar error
- File too large may result in timeout or rejection
- Malformed binary upload returns validation error
- Payment not included or insufficient returns 402 Payment Required
- Server error during processing returns 500
