The problem it solves

Product photos and marketing images pile up in Google Drive and slowly bloat your storage and slow down your website. Compressing them one by one is tedious, so it usually just does not happen.

Who it fits

E-commerce managers or marketing teams who store large volumes of images in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. The system checks a designated Drive folder every day
  2. Each image is sent to a compression service and the optimized version is saved to a separate folder
  3. The original file is moved to an archive folder
  4. Compression results are logged for each file
  5. A summary report is emailed showing the total space saved
What you get

Storage space freed without you noticing

New product images in your Drive folder get compressed automatically, with a daily report on the results.

What you get

Compressed images ready for use, plus a daily email report of storage saved.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Tinify API account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
