Design & Media

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.

What teams do with Kraken.io in type.com

Compress images before a page launch

Optimize a batch of hero images from their public URLs right before a landing page ships, keeping file sizes down without a manual export step.

Try asking

Optimize these three image URLs with Kraken.io before we publish the new landing page.

Check quota before a bulk job

Confirm how much Kraken.io quota remains before queuing up a large batch of image optimizations for a catalog refresh.

Try asking

Check our Kraken.io quota before we optimize the full product catalog.

Preserve photo credits during compression

Keep EXIF metadata, like a photographer's credit, intact while compressing images for a blog post.

Try asking

Optimize this image with Kraken.io but keep the EXIF metadata so the photo credit stays attached.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Kraken.io

Can Claude compress images with Kraken.io?

Yes. With a Kraken.io connection shared to a Space, the agent can optimize an image by URL, check account quota, and preserve metadata, right from a thread.

How does type.com authenticate with Kraken.io?

Kraken.io uses an API key and secret. An admin adds them once when creating the connection.

Can Kraken.io image optimization run on a schedule?

Yes. A type.com automation can check for new images on a schedule and run them through Kraken.io before publishing.

Is this the same as an MCP server for Kraken.io?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
