  • 📏 Image Resizing: Multiple resize methods (scale/fit/cover/thumb)
  • 🔄 Format Conversion: Convert between popular image formats
  • 📊 Metadata Preservation: Optionally preserve copyright, creation time, location data
  • ☁️ Cloud Storage: Direct upload to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage
  • 🚀 High-Performance Async: Built on tokio for concurrent processing
  • 🛡️ Type Safety: Full Rust type system and comprehensive error handling
  • Smart Retry: Built-in exponential backoff retry logic and rate limiting
  • 📦 Zero Config: Works out of the box with minimal setup

📦 Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tinify = "0.1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

use tinify::Tinify;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize client
    let client = Tinify::new("your-api-key".to_string())?;

    // Compress image
    let source = client.source_from_file("input.png").await?;
    source.to_file("output.png").await?;

    println!("Image compression completed!");
    Ok(())
}

Advanced Configuration

use tinify::Tinify;
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Use builder pattern for advanced configuration
    let client = Tinify::builder()
        .api_key("your-api-key")
        .app_identifier("MyApp/1.0")
        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
        .max_retry_attempts(3)
        .requests_per_minute(100)
        .build()?;

    let source = client.source_from_file("input.png").await?;
    source.to_file("output.png").await?;

    Ok(())
}

The library provides comprehensive error types:

use tinify::{Tinify, TinifyError};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Tinify::new("api-key".to_string())?;

    match client.source_from_file("input.png").await {

            // Continue processing...
        }
        Err(TinifyError::FileNotFound { path }) => {
            println!("File not found: {}", path);
        }
        Err(TinifyError::UnsupportedFormat { format }) => {
            println!("Unsupported format: {}", format);
        }
        Err(TinifyError::FileTooLarge { size, max_size }) => {
            println!("File too large: {} bytes (max: {} bytes)", size, max_size);
        }
        Err(TinifyError::QuotaExceeded) => {
            println!("API quota exhausted");
        }
        Err(TinifyError::AccountError { status, message }) => {
            println!("Account error [{}]: {}", status, message);
        }
        Err(e) => {
            println!("Other error: {}", e);
        }
    }

    Ok(())

📊 Performance Optimization

Async Concurrent Processing

use tinify::Tinify;
use tokio::task::JoinSet;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Tinify::new("your-api-key".to_string())?;
    let mut join_set = JoinSet::new();

    // Process multiple images concurrently
    let files = vec!["image1.png", "image2.jpg", "image3.webp"];

    for (i, file) in files.iter().enumerate() {
        let client = client.clone();
        let file = file.to_string();

        join_set.spawn(async move {
            let source = client.source_from_file(&file).await?;
            let output = format!("compressed_{}.png", i);
            source.to_file(&output).await?;
            Ok::<String, tinify::TinifyError>(output)
        });
    }

    // Wait for all tasks to complete
    while let Some(result) = join_set.join_next().await {
        match result {
            Ok(Ok(filename)) => println!("✅ Compressed: {}", filename),
            Ok(Err(e)) => println!("❌ Compression failed: {}", e),
            Err(e) => println!("❌ Task error: {}", e),
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}

Batch Processing

use tinify::{Tinify, ResizeOptions, ResizeMethod};

async fn batch_process_images(
    client: &Tinify,
    input_files: Vec<&str>,
) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    for file in input_files {
        // Compress and resize
        let source = client.source_from_file(file).await?;

        let resize_options = ResizeOptions {
            method: ResizeMethod::Fit,
            width: Some(800),
            height: Some(600),
        };

        let mut result = source.resize(resize_options).await?;
        let output = format!("processed_{}", file);
        result.to_file(&output).await?;

        println!("✅ Processed: {} -> {}", file, output);
    }

    Ok(())
}

    let client = Tinify::new("your-api-key".to_string())?;
    let source = client.source_from_file("input.png").await?;
    let result = source.to_buffer().await?;

    // Check compression count
    if let Some(count) = result.compression_count() {
        println!("Current API usage: {}", count);

        if count > 450 {
            println!("⚠️ Approaching free quota limit (500/month)");
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}

⚙️ Environment Setup

Environment Variables

# Tinify API configuration
export TINIFY_API_KEY="your-tinify-api-key"

# AWS S3 configuration
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-aws-access-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-aws-secret-key"

# Google Cloud Storage configuration
export GCP_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-gcp-access-token"
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account.json"

  1. Visit TinyPNG Developer Page
  2. Register account and verify email
  3. Get free API key (500 compressions/month)
  4. Upgrade to paid plan for higher quotas

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
cargo test

# Run doc tests
cargo test --doc

# Run specific example
cargo run --example 01_compressing_images

# Test with real images
cargo run --example test_real_image

# Cloud storage integration tests
./test_cloud_storage.sh

📋 System Requirements

  • Rust: 1.70.0 or higher
  • Operating System: Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Network: Stable internet connection for TinyPNG API access
  • Memory: Minimum 100MB available memory for image processing

🚨 Limitations and Considerations

API Limitations

  • Free Quota: 500 compressions/month
  • File Size: Maximum 5MB per file
  • Supported Formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP (input), PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF (output)
  • Concurrency: Recommended max 10 concurrent requests

Best Practices

  1. API Key Security: Never hardcode API keys, use environment variables
  2. Error Handling: Always properly handle network and API errors
  3. Quota Monitoring: Regularly check API usage to avoid limits
  4. File Validation: Validate file format and size before upload
  5. Concurrency Control: Manage concurrent request count appropriately
// Recommended error handling pattern
match client.source_from_file("input.png").await {
    Ok(source) => {
        // Successful processing
    }
    Err(TinifyError::QuotaExceeded) => {
        // Quota exhausted, stop processing or wait for next month
        eprintln!("API quota exhausted, wait for next month or upgrade plan");
    }
    Err(TinifyError::FileTooLarge { size, max_size }) => {
        // File too large, consider preprocessing
        eprintln!("File too large: {} bytes (max: {})", size, max_size);
    }
    Err(e) => {
        // Other errors, log and possibly retry
        eprintln!("Compression failed: {}", e);
    }
}
