    Hi! Before installing I need to know… How are the images processed? Are they sent to an external server or processed within the plugin? Is any data kept or processed outside the website? Is there a data protection policy?
    Thx!

    TL;DR: No data is sent to the server, the images resizing is done by the browser of the person that is uploading the image, then the minimized image is uploaded to the WordPress server.

    It works by replacing those WordPress scripts:

    • /wp-includes/js/plupload/plupload.js?ver=2.1.9 – replaces with either [plugin_dir]/libs/plupload-2.1.9/js/plupload.min.js?ver=2.1.9 (default) or [plugin_dir]/libs/plupload-2.3.9/js/plupload.min.js?ver=2.3.9
    • /wp-includes/js/plupload/moxie.js?ver=1.3.5 – replaces with either [plugin_dir]/libs/plupload-2.1.9/js/moxie.min.js?ver=1.3.5 (default) or [plugin_dir]/libs/plupload-2.3.9/js/moxie.min.js?ver=1.5.7

    The scripts shipped with the plugin are:

    The client-side resize is helpful in that way that it offloads the images resize processing from the server to the clients that are uploading those images, reduces the bandwidth usage and increases image upload speed (due to the less data to transfer).

    The plugin has only a few settings at the moment, which can be seen under “Media” -> “Resize before upload”.
