vision-squeezer (Python)
Python bindings for vision-squeezer — LLM-native image optimization. Reduces vision model token consumption by snapping to tile boundaries.
Install
pip install vision-squeezer
From source (requires Rust + pip install maturin):
cd python && maturin develop --release
Usage
import vision_squeezer as vs
# Optimize an image on disk and write next to it.
report = vs.optimize_image(
"screenshot.png",
model="claude",
quality=75,
output_path="screenshot.optimized.jpg",
)
print(f"Saved {report['tokens_saved']} tokens, {report['size_reduction_pct']:.1f}% smaller")
# Or work with raw bytes.
with open("screenshot.png", "rb") as f:
raw = f.read()
report = vs.optimize_image(raw, model="gpt4o", format="webp")
# report["bytes"] holds the optimized image
# report["base64"] is the same image, base64-encoded
# Estimate tokens without optimizing.
est = vs.estimate_tokens(4096, 3072, model="claude")
print(est) # {'model': 'claude', 'tokens': ..., 'tiles': ...}
# Optimal send dimensions for a given model.
print(vs.optimal_dimensions(4096, 3072, model="gpt4o"))
Supported models
claude(3.5 / 4.x — area-based token estimation)gpt4o(GPT-4o / 4.5 — 2048 fit then 768 short-side, 512px tiles)gpt5(GPT-5/5.5 — 6000px max, 10.24M pixel cap, 1536 token cap)gemini(Gemini 2.0/3.0 — flat 258 ≤384×384, else 768px tiles)
Output formats
jpeg (default) and webp. Format affects bytes, not tokens.
