- Description
Currently, when users upload images to the File Gallery, they are stored at their original size and resolution. This creates performance issues, especially when large images (e.g., 5 MB) are used in wiki pages. These large images load slowly for end users and increase bandwidth usage.
Problem:
When inserting large (e.g., 5 MB) images from the gallery into wiki pages, they load slowly, affecting user experience.
Users often forget or don’t know how to compress images before uploading.
There's currently no way to reduce image size from within Tiki.
Feature Suggestion:
Add an option during image upload to compress the image, either by:A compression quality slider (e.g., 0–100%)
Predefined levels (High Quality / Balanced / Compressed)
The system should compress the image before saving it to the gallery. Optionally, admins could allow saving the original uncompressed file separately.
