Image Transform

Use this skill when the task is to reshape an existing image without changing its subject.

Tool guidance

• Use resize_image to change dimensions while preserving the image content.
• Use auto_crop to crop to a target size or trim excess whitespace.
• Use optimize_image to export web-ready PNG, WebP, JPEG, or AVIF output.
• Use finalize_image when you want crop, trim, resize, and optional background removal in one step.
• Use output_path when you want a stable file path.
• Use website-asset-workflow for logo, favicon, and site-asset delivery guidance when the resize is part of a broader web pipeline.
• Use sprite-workflow for sprite sheets, transparent frame exports, and game-ready asset guidance when the resize is part of a broader game-art pipeline.

Decision guide

• Use resize_image when layout or file size is the constraint.
• Use auto_crop when framing or whitespace cleanup is the constraint.
• Use optimize_image when the file needs delivery-ready compression.
• Use finalize_image when you want a one-call cleanup and export pipeline.

Good practice

• Keep transforms deterministic.
• Avoid using generation models for simple resizing or cropping.
• Preserve transparency unless the task explicitly asks to flatten it.
