Bandwidth Hero Data Compression Service

NSP Status

This data compression service is used by Bandwidth Hero browser extension. It compresses given image to low-res WebP or JPEG image. Optionally it also converts image to greyscale to save even more data.

It downloads original image and transforms it with Sharp on the fly without saving images on disk.

This is NOT an anonymizing proxy — it downloads images on user's behalf, passing cookies and user's IP address through to the origin host.
