Does JPEG re-compression check image size is smaller before saving?

  • I’m essentially looking for a tool that can recompress existing images on the server that might have been uploaded at 81-100% JPEG quality. However, not all images were uploaded that way and if they’re already at 60% I don’t want them resaved at 80%.

    Does this plugin do anything to make sure it’s not actually making a new original that is larger than the original? (looking at the code I think not so I thought I’d at least confirm).

    Hi Jon Brown,

    This plugin only compresses images that are resized. All other images will be untouched. But if a image is uploaded at 60% compression and it is resized to your setting it will save the image at the compression that is saved in the settings.

    Hopefully this answers you question.

    Thank you. I understand better now what this plugin actually does. It’s not quite what is was looking for. I wanted something that just recompressed existing originals, not resize them.

    This plugin looks very useful though and I’m looking forward to trying it out sometime.
