Clients in general don’t know the difference between a image width 300px or a image with 1 Mb.
I have to say to my clients that they have to open a image editor, resize the image, compress the image and make a thumbnail for every image.
Webflow staff, do you guys plan to insert more options on the images on the CMS?
That would be incredibly cool to be able to resize then optimize images right through the content editor interface. The feature could use all the cool libraries that ImageOptim uses: PNGOUT, Zopfli, Pngcrush, AdvPNG, extended OptiPNG, JpegOptim, MozJPEG (jpegtran & jpegrescan), and Gifsicle. It gives incredible results, ll of them are open source.
https://imageoptim.com/ (I recommend this software. With all the above libraries linked, it’s capable of doing things you can’t achieve at all with Photoshop, like 8 bits PNGs with an Alpha layer, holy grail of the images for the web)
Also, how cool would it be to have a Webflow-UI version of a library like ImageMagick*?
It’s not limited to image resizing and optimization. You can perform a lot of tasks such as creating a canvas, gathering images in it and place them, add layers and control fusion modes, use filters to color them (think about generating avatars or badges). It has plugins and you can even use Fourier transformations. We even developed a gradient map layer for internal use once.
@vincent That would be great but at this time i don´t ask that much.
I just want to insert a 1 MB image and webflow resize and convert to 2 images, the big and the tmb.
