  • You can also save part of your image by usingslices. Use the Slice Tool to create aslice. The currently selected slice will be indicated by ayellow border. Optionally give your slice a custom name byright-clicking and selecting Edit Slice Options... Thecustom slice name will be used for the file name instead of theimage name. Then choose File > Export > TinyPNG andTinyJPG. The preview window will now show the user sliceand will say Exporting slice at the bottom.

Photoshop will alert you in casethe combination is already taken.

  • You do not need to worry about color profiles.The images are converted automatically in sRGB for maximumcompatibility across browsers and devices.

  • You can use Photoshop scripting to control theplugin with JavaScript, VBScript or AppleScript. This is veryhandy for manipulating images. Using this techniquewe have created example scriptsthat compress JPEG and PNG files and an example that exportsLayer Comps to optimised images. You candownload the scriptsand copy them into your Scripts folder in Photoshop. New menuitems will appear under File > Automate and underFile > Scripts after copying the scripts to Photoshop.

  • The plugin supports batch automation. First youwill need to create a Photoshop action that uses the plugin.When creating the action make sure to leave the suggested filename unchanged. You can then choose File > Automate >Batch... In the dialog window that now appears you canselect the newly created action from the drop-down. UnderSource you can select the folder with all the imagesyou want to compress. The Destination needs to be setto None, because the plugin saves the JPEG and PNGfiles to its own folder. You can change this folder in theactions panel. Double click on it to select a differentdestination.

  • MacOS supports tabbing through dialogs, but thisis switched off by default. You can switch it on in SystemPreferences. Navigate to Keyboard and then clickon Shortcuts.

Full keyboard access can also be activated with the keycombination Ctrl+fn+F7.

The TinyPNG and TinyJPG menu option will begrayed out for these images. If you wish to export these imageformats with the plugin, you can first select Image > Mode >RGB Color and the TinyPNG and TinyJPG menu option will beactive again.

  • Photoshop artboards are supported. First selectany artboard or a layer within an artboard in yourLayers panel. Then choose File > Export > TinyPNGand TinyJPG to bring up the preview window and save thecurrently selected artboard.

  • The plugin compresses images offline, on yourown computer. No information about your usage is shared and nointernet connection is required.

Known limitations

  • The Export menu can be greyed out. Tofix this you will need to change the color mode of the image byselecting Image > Mode > RGB Color and Image > Mode> 8-Bits/Channel. After making these changes you should beable to export the image with the plugin.

  • Optimising JPEG images with the plugin canresult in slightly bigger output than with theweb service and API. The reason this may happen is that inPhotoshop only the raw image data is available,whereas the web service and the API also know the previous JPEGcompression level.

The Tinify API allows you to compress and optimize JPEG and PNG images.It is designed as a REST service. The client libraries in variouslanguages make it very easy to interact with the Tinify API.

Installation

You can use the Java client as a Maven dependencyby adding the following to your application's pom.xml. To avoidbreaking changes in your code when we update the client, replaceRELEASE with a specific version:

Tinypng Tiny Jpg Photoshop Plugin For Mac Os

If you use Gradle instead, you can use the following:

The source code is available on Github.

Authentication

To use the API you must provide your API key. You canget an API key by registering with your name andemail address. Always keep your API key secret!

All requests will be made over an encryptedHTTPSconnection.

You can instruct the API client to make all requests over an HTTP proxy.Set the URL of your proxy server, which can optionally include credentials.

Tinypng Tinyjpg Photoshop Plugin For Mac

Compressing images

You can upload any JPEG or PNG image to the Tinify API to compress it. Wewill automatically detect the type of image and optimise with the TinyPNG orTinyJPG engine accordingly. Compression will start as soon as you upload afile or provide the URL to the image.

You can choose a local file as the source and write it to another file.

You can also upload an image from a buffer (a string with binary) and getthe compressed image data.

You can provide a URL to your image instead of having to upload it.

Resizing images

Use the API to create resized versions of your uploaded images. By lettingthe API handle resizing you avoid having to write such code yourself andyou will only have to upload your image once. The resized images will beoptimally compressed with a nice and crisp appearance.

You can also take advantage of intelligent cropping to create thumbnailsthat focus on the most visually important areas of your image.

Resizing counts as one additional compression. For example, if you uploada single image and retrieve the optimized version plus 2 resized versionsthis will count as 3 compressions in total.

To resize an image, call the resize method on an image source:

The method describes the way your image will be resized. The followingmethods are available:

scale
Scales the image down proportionally. You must provide either a target width or a target height, but not both. The scaled image will have exactly the provided width or height.
fit
Scales the image down proportionally so that it fits within the given dimensions. You must provide both a width and a height. The scaled image will not exceed either of these dimensions.
cover
Scales the image proportionally and crops it if necessary so that the result has exactly the given dimensions. You must provide both a width and a height. Which parts of the image are cropped away is determined automatically. An intelligent algorithm determines the most important areas of your image.
thumb
A more advanced implementation of cover that also detects cut out images with plain backgrounds. The image is scaled down to the width and height you provide. If an image is detected with a free standing object it will add more background space where necessary or crop the unimportant parts. This feature is new and we'd love to hear your feedback!

If the target dimensions are larger than the original dimensions, the imagewill not be scaled up. Scaling up is prevented in order to protect thequality of your images.

Preserving metadata

You can request that specific metadata is copied from the uploaded imageto the compressed version. Preserving copyright information, the GPSlocation and the creation date are currently supported. Preservingmetadata adds to the compressed file size, so you should only preservemetadata that is important to keep.

Preserving metadata will not count as an extra compression. However, inthe background the image will be created again with the additionalmetadata.

To preserve specific metadata, call the preserve method on an imagesource:

You can provide the following options to preserve specific metadata. Nometadata will be added if the requested metadata is not present in theuploaded image.

copyright
Preserves any copyright information. This includes the EXIF copyright tag (JPEG), the XMP rights tag (PNG) as well as a Photoshop copyright flag or URL. Uses up to 90 additional bytes, plus the length of the copyright data.
creation
Preserves any creation date or time. This is the moment the image or photo was originally created. This includes the EXIF original date time tag (JPEG) or the XMP creation time (PNG). Uses around 70 additional bytes.
location (JPEG only)
Preserves any GPS location data that describes where the image or photo was taken. This includes the EXIF GPS latitude and GPS longitude tags (JPEG). Uses around 130 additional bytes.

Saving to Amazon S3

You can tell the Tinify API to save compressed images directly to Amazon S3. If you useS3 to host your images this saves you the hassle of downloading images toyour server and uploading them to S3 yourself.

To save an image to S3, call the store method on an image source:

You need to provide the following options in order to save an image onAmazon S3:

Plugin
service
Specify s3 to store to Amazon S3.
aws_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key
Your AWS access key ID and secret access key. These are the credentials to an Amazon AWS user account. Find out how to obtain them in Amazon's documentation. The user must have the correct permissions, see below for details.
region
The AWS region in which your S3 bucket is located.
path
The path at which you want to store the image including the bucket name. The path must be supplied in the following format: //.

The following settings are optional:

headers(experimental)
You can add a Cache-Control header to control browser caching of the stored image, with for example: public, max-age=31536000. The full list of directives can be found in the MDN web docs.

The user that corresponds to your AWS access key ID must have thePutObject and PutObjectAcl permissions on the paths of the objects youintend to create.

Example S3 access policy

If you want to create a user with limited access specifically for theTinify API, you can use the following example policyas a starting point:

Saving to Google Cloud Storage

You can tell the Tinify API to save compressed images directly to Google Cloud Storage.If you use GCS to host your images this saves you the hassle of downloadingimages to your server and uploading them to GCS yourself.

Before you can store an image in GCS you will need to generate an accesstoken with a service account.

We still need to create a piece of example code for this languagethat generates an access code. In case you have a working exampleready, please share your code!

Once you have generated the access token you can then save the optimisedimage directly to GCS by calling the store method on an image source:

You need to provide the following options in order to save an image onGoogle Cloud Storage:

service
Specify gcs to store to Google Cloud Storage.
gcp_access_token
The access token for authenticating to Google's Cloud Platform. Find out how to generate these tokens with the example above.

You can tell the Tinify API to save compressed images directly to Amazon S3. If you useS3 to host your images this saves you the hassle of downloading images toyour server and uploading them to S3 yourself.

To save an image to S3, call the store method on an image source:

You need to provide the following options in order to save an image onAmazon S3:

service
Specify s3 to store to Amazon S3.
aws_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key
Your AWS access key ID and secret access key. These are the credentials to an Amazon AWS user account. Find out how to obtain them in Amazon's documentation. The user must have the correct permissions, see below for details.
region
The AWS region in which your S3 bucket is located.
path
The path at which you want to store the image including the bucket name. The path must be supplied in the following format: //.

The following settings are optional:

headers(experimental)
You can add a Cache-Control header to control browser caching of the stored image, with for example: public, max-age=31536000. The full list of directives can be found in the MDN web docs.

The user that corresponds to your AWS access key ID must have thePutObject and PutObjectAcl permissions on the paths of the objects youintend to create.

Example S3 access policy

If you want to create a user with limited access specifically for theTinify API, you can use the following example policyas a starting point:

Saving to Google Cloud Storage

You can tell the Tinify API to save compressed images directly to Google Cloud Storage.If you use GCS to host your images this saves you the hassle of downloadingimages to your server and uploading them to GCS yourself.

Before you can store an image in GCS you will need to generate an accesstoken with a service account.

We still need to create a piece of example code for this languagethat generates an access code. In case you have a working exampleready, please share your code!

Once you have generated the access token you can then save the optimisedimage directly to GCS by calling the store method on an image source:

You need to provide the following options in order to save an image onGoogle Cloud Storage:

service
Specify gcs to store to Google Cloud Storage.
gcp_access_token
The access token for authenticating to Google's Cloud Platform. Find out how to generate these tokens with the example above.
path
The path at which you want to store the image including the bucket name. The path must be supplied in the following format: //.

The following settings are optional:

headers(experimental)
You can add a Cache-Control header to control browser caching of the stored image, with for example: public, max-age=31536000. The full list of directives can be found in the MDN web docs.

Error handling

The Tinify API uses HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure. AnyHTTP errors are converted into exceptions, which are thrown by the clientlibrary.

There are four distinct types of errors. The exception message will containa more detailed description of the error condition.

AccountException
There was a problem with your API key or with your API account. Yourrequest could not be authorized. If your compression limit is reached,you can wait until the next calendar month or upgrade your subscription. After verifying yourAPI key and your account status, you can retry the request.
ClientException
The request could not be completed because of a problem with thesubmitted data. The exception message will contain more information.You should not retry the request.
ServerException
The request could not be completed because of a temporary problem withthe Tinify API. It is safe to retry the request after a few minutes.If you see this error repeatedly for a longer period of time, pleasecontact us.
ConnectionException
The request could not be sent because there was an issue connecting tothe Tinify API. You should verify your network connection. It is safe toretry the request.

You can handle each type of error separately:

If you are writing code that uses an API key configured by your users, youmay want to validate the API key before attempting to compress images.The validation makes a dummy request to check the network connection andverify the API key. An error is thrown if the dummy request fails.

Compression count

The API client automatically keeps track of the number of compressionsyou have made this month. You can get the compression count after youhave validated your API key or after you have made at least onecompression request.
