The jpg, png, gif optimization algorithm is capable of reducing the image size by up to 85% (5x +), while the resulting photos are visually identical to the originals. We believe that image and pdf compression is a matter preserving the quality then reduce the size. Reducing the image and pdf size can be done using a massive compression of data and result a worsened quality. We detect already compressed media and return original files.

Select The Server Folders to Run Image and PDF Optimization

In the global configuration you can select which folder you want to optimize. If you're using 3rd party plugins that store images or pdf in root folder you can force image and PDF compression for example. If you uncheck a folder, optimization won't be applied in this folder. Furthermore, it's possible to exclude media compression by selecting a file weight range.
