How to use Claude to resize images as a skill
People search this exact question. Here is the shortest path: free browser tool → copy-paste skill → optional MCP so Claude resizes images in chat.
Quick answer: Give Claude the free resize-images skill or connect Agent Media Tools MCP. Claude POSTs to /api/resize-image and returns a downloadUrl. No credit card for basic use.
Path A — 60 seconds (no install)
Open the free tool, upload a photo, set width (e.g. 800), download the result.
Path B — Claude skill pack (recommended)
- Download /skills/resize-images/SKILL.md or copy it from the skills hub.
- Add it to Claude project instructions, Claude skills, or your agent system prompt.
- In chat: “Resize product.jpg to 1200px wide as WebP.”
- Claude uses the documented API contract and returns a temporary download URL.
curl -F "image=@product.jpg" -F "width=1200" -F "format=webp" \ https://agentmediatools.com/api/resize-image
Response includes success, dimensions, and downloadUrl.
