The Gallery

What it is

The Gallery resizes, converts, and compresses images at the edge — AVIF, WebP, and quality ladders without changing files on your origin.

Cloudflare analogue: Cloudflare Images / Polish. SLA 99.95% · p99 55ms. Admins publish presets. Viewers may preview.

• ▸On-the-fly crop
• ▸Quality ladders
• ▸Hotlink protection

How it works

Request an image through The Crown with a preset or query. The Gallery emits AVIF/WebP at the requested width.

GPS and EXIF are stripped. Hotlink guard refuses foreign Referers.

Use cases

Concrete ways teams use this service on day one.

Set it up in the dashboard

Dashboard → Services → The Gallery. Create presets. Origin files stay unchanged.

API

Control-plane: GET|POST|DELETE /api/v1/gallery/presets. Send Authorization: Bearer tz_live_YOUR_TOKEN.

Creates count against the plan quota. A 402 plan_limit means you are at the cap — upgrade or delete an unused resource.

curl -sS https://tinyzipper.com/api/v1/services/gallery \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tz_live_YOUR_TOKEN"

const res = await fetch("https://tinyzipper.com/api/v1/gallery/presets", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ZIPPER_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
});
const json = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(json.error ?? res.statusText);
console.log(json);

Tips

Prefer AVIF then WebP. JPEG remains the last fallback.
