Once connected (see setup above), use the Image Ops tool:

  1. Ask OpenClaw: "Convert this image from PNG to WebP"
  2. OpenClaw processes the conversion and returns the result
  3. Request conversions in additional formats as needed
  4. Compare file sizes to validate the optimization benefit

Tips

  • Test converted images visually to ensure acceptable quality at lower file sizes
  • Ask for format recommendations based on image content type
  • Maintain originals as masters and generate web formats as derivatives
