What is Patu?
Patu is a hosted optimization API for web assets. It re-encodes images to AVIF, WebP or JPEG, minifies SVG, JavaScript and CSS, and subsets fonts to WOFF2. It also optimizes whole containers: EPUB books, CBZ/CBR comics and Office documents.
Instead of a fixed quality setting, Patu targets a perceptual quality score (ssimulacra2), so every image lands at consistent quality rather than a consistent but meaningless quality number.
You use it wherever your assets live: a WordPress plugin, an npm CLI and Vite plugin for front-end builds, a GitHub Action for CI, an optional CDN, or the raw HTTP API from any language. A free API key is enough to start.
