Stay up to date with the latest changes to the SimplyPNG API
v1.1.0
minor·Fast Mode & Image Optimization
- changed: **Breaking:** Default input image optimization now resizes images to 2500px max dimension (previously 4096px). This reduces processing time and cost while exceeding all major e-commerce marketplace requirements (Amazon 2000px, Shopify 2048px, Etsy 2000px).
- added: New `options.max_dimension` parameter (512–4096) to explicitly control input resize target. Overrides the default 2500px when you need a specific resolution.
- added: `options.hd_mode: true` now preserves images up to 4096px (previously the default for all requests). HD mode costs 2 credits per image.
- added: Batch endpoint (`POST /jobs/batch`) now respects `hd_mode` for image optimization, matching single job behavior.
