Compress Then Upload

Description

Compress Then Upload lets you upload images to the WordPress media library but it first compresses and resizes them on your browser before uploading them.

This is particularly useful if you need to upload large sized images and you are using a poor internet connection or if your current WordPress site has small upload size limit.

How to upload images?

  • Install plugin
  • Navigate to Media -> Compress Then Upload
  • Drag & Drop images into the dropzone and watch them get uploaded
  • Navigate to Media -> Library to see your uploaded images

Thanks for the awesome plugin. Now I can upload large images without any fear. Just set the image size in the settings and it crops images automatically during upload.
