What is it for?
When I'm looking for an image to use on my blog posts, I use this tool i created to search the best free stock image sites in one place. When I find an image I like, I download it and use it as the header image of my blog post. These images are usually 4000 pixels wide or more and take up unnecessary space on the server because I never display images wider than 1920 pixels on my site.
This post shows you how you can add a class to your umbraco project which automatically resizes any new images in Umbraco. You can choose whats size you want it to be and if you want it to upscale smaller images or not. You need to add the following appSetting values to your web.config file:
App Settings
<add key="ImageResizeWidth" value="1920" />
<add key="ImageResizeHeight" value="1080" />
<add key="ImageResizeSuffix" value="1080p" />
<add key="ImageResizeKeepOriginal" value="false" />
<add key="ImageResizeUpscale" value="true" />Add this class in your project, I've put it in a library project which is reference by the web project. You could add it in the App_Code section if you don't have a separate library. Make sure you rename the namespace.
You can get it to add a resized version of the image and leave the original unchanged, or you can get it to replace them.
