Build with TinyPNG

TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your PNG files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the image, fewer bytes are required to store the data. The effect is nearly invisible but it makes a very large difference in file size! Join over 50.000 companies and developers around the world who are using the API.

MCP

Give your agent TinyPNG tools

Every TinyPNG action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's TinyPNG account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "tinypng",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Compress Image:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "tinypng-compress-image",
  arguments: {
    file: "Image Path or URL",
    syncDir: "SyncDir",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the TinyPNG API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the TinyPNG API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://api.tinify.com/shrink",
})

// Any allowed TinyPNG endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run TinyPNG actions from your backend

Connect a user's TinyPNG account once, then run Compress Image on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "tinypng-compress-image",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    tinypng: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    file: "Image Path or URL",
    syncDir: "SyncDir",
  },
})
