Tools For Faster Photo Uploads

I learn what each size the photo should be where it is. In the MLS I did 1200x1600. Here I put in 600X......

Hello Jeff Pearl very valuable post about tools for faster photo uploads.

Jeff, thanks for the heads up, as we always need a program to squish photos.   I usually use Ribbet still.

This is great information, Jeff... thanks so much for sharing it. And I'm suggesting to Carol Williams that she include it in her Second Chance Saturday post.

Hi Jeff- I just went to Squoosh and going to take a look at it!!! Thank you!

Hi Jeff - that is very helpful.  I notice that some peoples pictures need to be compressed.  Thanks for giving all of those tools.

Hmm, this is good information and I guess I still don't understand the file size thing.  Doesn't the AR editor give us the opportunity to downsize photos?  I know that I change the file size to be 700 wide each time because that is the format best for posts.

Thanks so much for the information, Jeff. Appreciate it. D

Thank you for sharing these tools with us.  I will have to try them next time I upload pictures.

Good afternoon Jeff Pearl ,

So glad that Kathy Streib featured your post in her "Ah-ha" moments for the week. Good information. I usually don't have an issue as I select the size from Active Rain but if I have a problem this will help!

Taking a look at Squoosh next, Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing this tidbit with us. Everything we can do online to save ourselves time and put us out in front of our sphere is a feather in our caps!

Great information!   I struggle uploading photos!!  Thank you.

Good reminder to use Squoosh - it is a great tool.

In addition to simply compressing the image, it can also be used to resize the image for AR use - simply click "Resize" on the tools panel and enter 768 for the width (the height is automatically calculated).

This way the image is actually resized and not simply shown smaller by the browser (HTML resize).
If you simply change the size on AR's editor, the actual image is still downloaded, but shown smaller.

So, you still download a 2Mb file, while you could have downloaded a 100kb file instead.

This is really important if you are using images on your own website. You always want to do a true resize of the image, not an HTML resize.

I was able to reduce the size of your test image by 95% by resizing it to 768x567.

Seems like a fun resizer. Thanks for the tip.

I see that we still have folks that don't understand compressing the picture & resizing it for AR.

Thank you for this little nugget. Appreciate the post.

That's a great tip. Squoosh. I'll remember that!

Thanks for the great tips !

I will have to remember to try Sqoosh - Sounds like it is well named!  THanks
