Module recommendation - image optimization/sizing

Post by rbaby »

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a module recommendation that would resize and optimize images for other modules that accept file upload as a field definition (cgblog, lise etc.).

Any recommendations? Is there even one available?

Only I can think of is CGSmartImage, but processing is after upload so the original (large) image is at the server.

CGSmartImage also has an option for reducing image sizes in specified paths as a cron job, so although it doesn't happen on upload, it will prevent large files from accumulating on your server.

Typically you would use this setting in combination with using it inline to get the exact cropping and dimensions needed. There's a bit of a learning curve, especially if you want it to handle responsive images, but it's a very useful module once you figure out the basics.
