Automatically Optimize Images Added to a Google Drive Folder

**How it works** - This workflow watches a selected Google Drive folder for any images added to it. - It then takes that image, sends it to the tinypng.com service which optimizes and reduces its size (where possible). - Tinypng then returns the updated image which is then automatically saved in your chosen Google Drive folder. **Setting things up** - It's pretty simple to configure and should only take around 5-10 mins. - You only need to set up credentials for Google Drive and tinypng.com. - For tinypng.com, you can sign up for their free tier API access which gives you 500 optimizations per month. - Once you have those two things, you just need to choose your input folder to watch for images and your output folder for where these images should be stored. - There are a few more optional things you can do such as the naming of your final image and also lots more you could do with the tinypng API for more advanced image optimization.
