How much of your AI usage limit goes to oversized screenshots?

A small thing I noticed: full-size screenshots use far more AI tokens than the model needs, so usage limits run out sooner. I built a free Firefox add-on, TokenSaver, that shrinks images before they are uploaded to ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor and shows the estimated tokens saved. It runs entirely in your browser, with no uploads and no tracking. It is Firefox-only for now. If you try it, I would appreciate honest feedback, especially on whether text in resized images stays readable, and wh

AI 分析

痛点:用户向 ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor 上传整屏大截图时消耗远超必要的大模型 token,导致用量额度提前耗尽、API 成本偏高。

目标用户:高频使用 ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor 截图提问的开发者、设计师、AI 重度用户,以及按 token 付费的 API 使用者。

证据:full-size screenshots use far more AI tokens than the model needs, so usage limits run out sooner ... I built a free Firefox add-on, TokenSaver, that shrinks images before they are uploaded to ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor and shows the estimated tokens saved ... whether a Chrome version would be useful.

变现:免费扩展引流 + Pro 订阅(批量压缩、OCR 前处理、用量成本看板、团队共享配置);或面向 API 重度用户的按席位团队授权。

MVP:两周内做跨浏览器扩展(Chrome+Firefox):监听粘贴/上传事件,本地 canvas/WASM 压缩并智能裁切截图,展示压缩前后估算 token 与费用节省,支持可读性档位切换和一键开关。

竞品:TokenSaver(本项目)、TinyPNG / Squoosh(通用图片压缩,无 token 估算)、ChatGPT 自带的图片压缩与官方上下文管理

摘要:开发者发布免费 Firefox 扩展 TokenSaver,在截图上传给 ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor 前先压缩图片,减少 token 消耗并显示节省量,纯本地运行、无追踪。帖子未提供任何付费证据或收入数据,作者仅征求反馈并询问是否需要 Chrome 版本,需求真实性仅为个人观察。技术门槛低、单人两周可复制,但变现路径依赖把免费工具升级为 Pro 订阅。
