Hi, the plugin resizes and optimizes images both in bulk and when you upload a new image.
If you use another plugin they should be compatible, however this way every time you upload an image, it will be resized and optimized twice. This will not improve the image quality.
You can disable resizing when uploading new images from my plugin and use it only for bulk resizing.
To disable resize when images are uploaded, go to the plugin settings and disable the “Resize when images are uploaded” option.
Thanks for explaining, but there is a difference in image optimization, isn’t there?
Your plugin is focusing on the resizing part. It doesn’t do image optimization like Imagify.
I think there is a difference between image compression and image optimization, if I am not mistaken.
So my idea was to use your plugin for auto-resizing on upload.
And use another plugin that takes care of the image optimization (also on upload).
It’s basically a way to allow non-technical people to upload content. Because they always forget to resize and optimize before uploading
it’s true customers upload gigantic images !!
However, I don’t know how imagify works, I can tell you how my plugin works.
My plugin is based on wordpress image editing libraries. When you upload an image the plugin reads it, resizes it and saves it. When the plugin saves the image I already pass the format and the compression level (you can define the various compression levels from the settings).
I think imagify does something similar. This means that the last plugin that processes the image performs the final compression. I don’t know which plugin runs first. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful than that.
Thanks for getting back to me. I think plugins that focus on image optimizing are working quite differently and do not depend on the php image compression functions.
Some of them use other methods, compress on their own servers to take the load from the server where the website runs, etc. – but I am not an expert in this, so I can’t tell for sure.
However, that was my reason why I was looking to use your plugin for resizing but use another one for image optimization. Just so that you better understand why I asked those questions.
Thanks
