Purlo

A small, developer-friendly image-processing API. One call: resize, convert, compress, and strip metadata — done. No account dashboard to learn, no SDK to install, no images ever stored.

curl -X POST https://api.purlo.dev/v1/image \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer purlo_YOUR_KEY" \
  -F 'operations={"resize":{"w":800},"format":"webp","quality":80,"strip":true}' \
  -F "image=@photo.jpg" \
  -o out.webp

That's the whole API. Everything below is detail.

Docs

  • Quickstart — signup to first successful call, under five minutes.
  • Endpoint reference — every operation, parameter, default, and the order they run in.
  • Authentication — getting and using an API key.
  • Errors & limits — status codes, quotas, rate limits, the 429 body.
  • Privacy — what happens to your images (nothing is stored).
  • Examples — the same call in curl, JavaScript, PHP, and Python.

The pitch

One chainable pipeline endpoint — resizeformat/qualitystrip — instead of seven separate tools. Cheap, simple, and built for a solo developer to integrate in ten minutes, not an afternoon with enterprise docs.
