Canvas Image Resize

Description

If you host your site in a poor environment, WordPress may fail uploading large images as the process of creating the different sizes and thumbnails takes a large amount of CPU usage.

With this Plugin the images are simply resized to a maximum dimension (of for example 1600 x 1600 pixels) right in your browser before uploading them.
The nice side effect is that unnecessary big images are resized to a fine size to still provide a usable, qualitative image.

  1. Upload the folder “canvas-image-resize” to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your installation, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  1. The settings page.

I like to use this on most sites I develop now to prevent clients from uploading and using massive images. It works well. Thanks!!!

Less is more.

This plugin does what I expected.
The quality of the resized images is very good.

Tank you very much!

Double wow

I cant believe it is working, and dont dare to think about how it can work. Few code lines.

Now Users can upload NASA HD resolution images of 20 MB to shared server of 64 MB memory, theoretically. No limits anymore.

I took those few lines to my own functions.php. Limited to 85% JPEG quality. it still generates a bit big sized images for web.
