I have a little problem that needs fixing. When adding a new listing, it seems osclass uploads the entire image size to the server before processing it (or optimising it). If the image has already been shared on social media before, then there is no issue because the size has already been optimised. But if the image is directly taken from the phone camera which some are 5MB, 7MB, 10MB etc. Then the user has to wait for them to be uploaded. This is even worse if the phone is a high-end device with insane camera quality.

I have a webP image plugin so uploaded images on item pages are optimised. Is there a way to reduce the image size on the fly ( I mean in the user browser) when a user is adding a listing before they are uploaded to the server? This will greatly reduce the upload time.

jiji, olx others seem to reduce image size before uploading to the server.

You can disable keeping original images in media settings.
There is pre-resize image uploader plugin but it usually cause different issues with javascript, you may try it.

Thank you for the fast reply. Actually, I am not asking about the image dimension but rather the size in Megabytes which is uploaded to the server in raw from the phone camera before it is reduced to Kilobyte in the server. Let's take WhatsApp for example, when you upload a picture it reduces the capacity (web or phone app) from Megabyte to Kilobyte before sending it.

Please is there a link to the pre-resize image uploader plugin? I will like to try it.

I am getting a lot of feedback from my users that image upload is too slow as compared to competitors.
