Compress images after upload to media library

[chocolata]

Hi Alexander,

Question; do you know of a way to compress images when they are uploaded via the media library?

I've noticed that admins don't take into account the filesizes of the uploaded images, causing the server space to fill up rapidly. If I'm not mistaken, there's supposed to be an event handler that is triggered after every upload.

Do you think we could extend the image compress plugin to take into account the media library?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi @maartenmachiels , I think you need to take a look at this file and find the event upload photo:

I don't have a ready-made solution
