Image resize before upload

  • Hello.

    When uploading images from a camera. that are say 2.5mb or so.
    It seems very possible to resize on the server, however, that means we still have to wait for the 2.5mb to be uploaded.

    Is there anyway we can resize images, for example, 2.5mb at 3000px3000px to 100kb at 700pxx700px, before they are uploaded to the server?

  • Since WordPress runs on the server, the short (and I guess obvious) answer is “no”.

    However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of free/cheap image editors that you could install on your machine to use to resize images.

    For instance, for the PC I’m a fan of Paint.net.

    It would be great if you’ll install photo editor like adobe photoshop or you can simply visit this links. You can resize your pics as well as add some features to make your pictures look better.

    Thanks heaps for the comments dudes. Well yes, that is a good point that wordpress is a server application.

    This is for a client, so I would prefer not to have to make them use an image editor. However, I may very well be forced to do that.
    If my client uploads 10 images at 3.9mb each, the upload will take a long time.

    Is is professional to have your clients use an image editor that is separate from the CMS?

    Perhaps tinyMCE has something along these lines.

    Thanks dudes, and too bad my avatar isnt working!
