Image Upload
Image Upload API (by APILayer) resizes, crops, and re-encodes JPG, PNG, and GIF images over REST, aimed at e-commerce catalogs that need consistently sized product photos. Requests authenticate with an apikey header against the shared api.apilayer.com gateway, and the service can fetch a source image directly from a URL rather than requiring a file upload. A perpetual free tier covers 100 requests a month with no credit card required, with paid plans scaling to 50,000+ monthly requests.
