Introduction

What does it do?

With typo3_image_proxy all new and uploaded images will be sent to a an external, self-hosted or containerized imgproxy service to resize the images. imgproxy itself is known as fast and secure on-the-fly image processing. That way your server can focus on website delivery instead of processing a bunch of 8MB image files.

But!!!

This extension does not come with a pre-installed imgproxy service. It is up to you to install, host, find or pay such a service. You will find more information in section Installation. As imgproxy is an external service it needs access to your files in fileadmin, uploads, … So you should not block public access with .htaccess or secure_downloads.

Please keep image copyright in mind. Are you allowed to sent images to foreign services?
