How It Works

When you upload any image (PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF), our pipeline:

  1. Strips unnecessary EXIF metadata
  2. Applies lossless or lossy compression (quality: 85 by default)
  3. Converts to WebP using sharp under the hood
  4. Stores the WebP version in your GCP bucket
  5. Returns a CDN-served URL
