Best way to compress images / save on load times

  • Hi all,

    I’ll soon be off travelling the world and I’ll be uploading a lot of my photos to my WordPress blog.

    I’m concerned that a lot pf photos (which will be quite large file sizes) will take a long time to upload and will take up a huge amount of space.

    Is there a way to:

    • Automatically compress images on upload?
    • Resize all images automatically?

    I’m trying Smush.it at the moment but the bulk upload seems to take a long time!

    Thanks in advance!

    Paddy

  • I know with Next-Gen Gallery you can make it automatically re-size images to your chosen width, the problem is it still takes ages uploading them because you have to upload the originals before it can re-size them. So ideally you need something that will do it before you even go to upload – there must be some free batch processing software?

    Something like https://batch-image-resizer.en.softonic.com/ ?

    It needs to be something where you can select a large quantity of images and just leave it to it for a while.

    Idk. Sorry if I haven’t been much help ??

    Thanks, John.

    I assumed I’d have to use some kind of batc software – I currently just run a photoshop script when I’m on the road I’ll have limited access to a computer.

    I was hoping there was some kind of super-plugin ??

    Cheers!
