Image Resize

[Topknotch]

Hi,

I have a client that insists on uploading product images straight from their Samsung galaxy S8!
As we all know those images are huge! Is there a way that they can be auto resized to a more suitable website size or anyone know a 'SIMPLE' way for them to be resized before uploading.
Sorry, I know this is an annoying post.
Thanks in advance.

IrfanView has a good batch process

Perhaps this tool works too: https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/photos-a-images/images/eir-easy-image-resizer/ (I didn't try it myself)

@jjk - that plugin uses the commercial service https://optimus.io/en/

it triggers on any $_FILES via onAfterInitialise() .. so may work..

I have used this uploader on a couple of accommodation sites to add images to a simple gallery directory. It is old, but still works, ISTR it uses the GD library for resizing. They wanted to be able to upload direct from phones.

Just did a quick test with Victor's 'Easy Image Reziser'. It does also work without using the Optimus service, but I think it doesn't apply a sharpening matrix after scaling it down. With a photo editor you can get better results of course.
