TYPO3 Extension tinyimg

Image compression for all pngs and jpgs uploaded to the backend (using the tinypng API)

What does it do?

It's a small extension, that hooks (using signals) into the TYPO3 file upload and compresses every jpg or png uploaded to the backend using the tinify API: https://tinypng.com/developers

This API can reduce up to 80% of the file size of your images, which will increase your page speed. Without loosing quality.

Installation

  1. Get extension from TER
  2. Create an API key* at https://tinypng.com/developers
  3. Enter the API key* in the extension configuration (using the extension manager)
  4. Include the static TypoScript. It disables compression on the application context "Development" - so you wont loose compressions during development and testing
  5. Have a nice day :)

_*Note that the tinify API is limited to 500 compressions per month. If you need more, there is a payed version which can be activated in your dashboard (where you got your API key)_

Contribution

Bugs and feature requests are welcome. Feel free to create an issue and i'll have a look at it as soon as possible.

Code improvements are also highly appreciated, as I'm a young developer and sure there is stuff to optimize.
