Hi
Please add a mod such as
HTML https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=2206
to resize
images on upload.
Mobile phone create huge images and most users don’t, or don’t
know how to, resize images before upload.
Thanks

Seconding this as a useful thing if possible. We have just had
our second round of "how can you shrink your image" discussion,
even with a thread dedicated to it in the "tech info" section of
our forum.

Thanks! How does it work, is it configurable and when will it
be live?

It is live now. Under Admin -> Attachment and Avatars ->
Attachment Settings
You can set the max height/width of an attachment.

Fantastic, thank you!
Does the resize software maintain transparency?
I've just tried uploading an oversize image and it has reduced
its size correctly (which is excellent!). However the png had
transparency and it seems to have lost that or added a black
background. For reference I resized the image externally and
loaded on this page:
HTML http://cyclekartsgb.createaforum.com/announcements/forum-layout-changes/msg7840/#msg7840
HTML https://cyclekartsgb.createaforum.com/announcements/forum-layout-changes/msg7840/#msg7840.
The first image was auto-resized, the second I resized and
uploaded. The thumbnails both have the same issue, but if you
download the images, you'll see the second one is correctly
coloured.
The third image was auto-resized but the original was saved
without transparency - its works correctly.
The fourth image was a jpeg that was auto-resized on upload -
again works correctly.
Now, most of the time people load photos so it shouldn't be a
major issue, but thought I'd mention it.
Thanks again!

I don't believe it keeps transparency. Same thing with animated
gifs they would no longer be animated.

As I say, not a big issue, just by chance that the image I chose
to test it with had transparency. Thanks for adding the
functionality.
Do you know if the upload limit on posts gets applied before or
after the images are resized?

The limit is after the image is resized.
