# Image and Compression Optimization

Medianova provides image and compression optimization features for transforming source images, converting eligible images to modern formats, and compressing supported response types.

## Available optimization features

### Image Optimization

**Image Optimization** applies URL-based transformations to JPG and PNG images at the CDN edge.

It supports operations such as resizing, cropping, padding, and other image transformations. Each transformed image URL creates a separate cached object.

See Image Optimization for supported transformations, limits, and configuration details.

### WebP Optimization

**WebP Optimization** converts eligible JPG and PNG images to WebP at the CDN edge.

The CDN detects client support automatically. Supported clients receive the WebP version, while unsupported clients receive the original image format.

See WebP Optimization for configuration details.

### WebP+ Optimization

**WebP+ Optimization** preserves source-level visual quality for eligible PNG images, including transparency and fine details.

WebP+ variants may be larger than standard WebP variants because the feature prioritizes source-level fidelity.

See WebP+ Optimization for behavior and configuration details.

### AVIF Optimization

**AVIF Optimization** converts eligible JPG images to AVIF at the CDN edge.

The CDN serves AVIF to supported clients and automatically serves the original image format to unsupported clients.

See AVIF Optimization for configuration details.

### Gzip Compression

**Gzip Compression** compresses configured response types when the client supports Gzip compression.

The feature applies compression based on configured MIME types. Formats that are already compressed generally receive little or no additional size reduction.

See Gzip Compression for configuration details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://clients.medianova.com/products/performance-cdn/image-optimization-and-webp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
