   Since compressor.io is down we're shamelessly recommending https://kraken.io instead. We invest very heavily with dedicated infrastructure (dual-CPU hexacores) and provide unparalleled optimization and compression for both

   We handle all the major web image formats, with a single API. That would be the major difference. We also offer more features like image resizing, WebP compression and SVG optimization. Again, with a single API.

    Thank you for your suggestions. In the following weeks we will be partnering with a leading CDN provider. Every single optimized image will be pushed to 32+ edge locations. We think it makes much more sense then just a S3/CloudFiles fe
