Inputs

• Absolute path to a local input image
• Optional output path; default to an explicit sibling .png

Prepare Instructions

Resolve credentials in this order:

• Shell environment variables
• The current working directory .env only
• ~/.transloadit/credentials

If your .env lives in a parent directory, export the variables into the shell first.

Create steps.json in the current working directory.

Important:

• For the current CLI, the file passed to --steps must be a flat object keyed by step name.
• Do not wrap the steps under a top-level "steps" key.
