What the Kraken.io connector can do
Kraken.io compresses and resizes images across formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, and PDF without a noticeable quality loss, a step most teams handle before publishing anything online. A design or web Space in type.com can ask the agent to shrink a hero image down using just its link, check how much quota is left on the plan, or keep metadata intact during compression, all in one thread.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Kraken.io once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.
