A feature to compress image during the pre upload process, helping in saving space before getting uploaded to server.

habibali Public · Feb 21 2023

Idea Summary
While uploading images, APEX normally uploads the actual file. Lets say, an image is 10MB it will upload the file as 10 MB size.  It would be great to replicate, how WhatsApp compresses the image before actually uploading to the server. This feature will help Apex Applications with images to load faster while maintaining a quality image.

Use Case
I have an order feedback portal running on APEX, where people upload the images of defective products. We need 5 samples, to be uploaded… But most times, people upload high resolution photos due to which my server space fills up faster than usual. I personally compress images  & reupload them after I receive them via customers. At one time, I have observed how a 24 MB can get reduced 500 KB file with the help of compression techniques. This is exactly the feature what i would like to see in upcoming versions of APEX

Preferred Solution (Optional)
You may use compression techniques, that happens on pre-upload process used by many Content creation websites.

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-2691.

    Hi @habibali , this is a great idea! So much that it's already on our radar. For now I'll mark as a duplicate of FR-2691 which will feature compression options.
