Optimize images on file upload

There is no such option now, but I can see it is a useful feature to add.

I haven't evaluated the feasibility of either options, in either D7 or D8. This is just an open request request.

Drupal tends to have a policy of not changing files as they are uploaded, but rather doing the processing when someone requests the file.
That way, the original is preserved in case you need it for any reason.

If you just want the original image, but optimized, then you just need to use an image style that doesn't have any actions, but then select and image optimize pipeline on it. It'll go through image styles in the usual way, remain the same pixel size, but then go through and be optimized.

As for the optimization levels of reSmush.it, yeah, they aren't great. There are alternatives like Kraken and Tiny PNG that tend to do a better job, the former has integration with the D8 version of this module.

Drupal 8 is already offering to replace the original image by setting max width and heights on the image field config, so that's why I was expecting Image Optimize to offer to offer it at this level too.

Fair enough, maybe we should be able to optimize on file upload too.

I agree this is a pretty handy feature .. I saves time for content authors surely, since the optimization happens on upload & server-side. Hope this will be available for both Drupal 7 and 8. Thank you very much for this valuable module.

@juliencarnot: thanks for the link to this issue. I also second that: I have multiple clients who just upload huge imags (sometimes 10+MB images directly from their camera) and who are not willing to change their contribution flow. This is a nightmare to keep optimized / clever sized image sizes with them.

Any progress on this? I still believe that such an option should be available.

At the meantime, I am considering running a files watcher which auto optimizes the uploaded images immediately as they get saved to the server.

I forced the generation of the image styles directly on upload this way:

// When an entity is created or saved
function MYMODULE_entity_presave(Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity) {
	if($entity->getEntityTypeId() == 'file') {
		$uri = $entity->getFileUri();
		$image = \Drupal::service('image.factory')->get($uri);

		if ($image->isValid()) {
			$styles = ImageStyle::loadMultiple();

			// Generate all styles
			foreach ($styles as $st) {
				$destination = $st->buildUri($uri);
				$st->createDerivative($uri, $destination);
			}
		}
	}
}

Hope it helps someone.

You can use such code to optimize original image:

function mymodule_entity_presave(EntityInterface $entity) {
  if($entity->getEntityTypeId() == 'file') {
    $uri = $entity->getFileUri();
    $image = \Drupal::service('image.factory')->get($uri);

    if ($image->isValid()) {
      $pipeline = ImageAPIOptimizePipeline::load('tinypng');
      if ($pipeline instanceof ImageAPIOptimizePipeline) {
        $pipeline->applyToImage($uri);
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks @mmv93 #13 worked.

In my use case I still need one more help. #13 passes the image through an optimization pipeline so the image got optimized but I equally want to resize the images. This would have been achieved if #12 worked but it didn't work for me likewise all attempts I made to pass the image through an image style. I would appreciate if there is a way to resize the image as well.

Thank you.

+1 It would definitely be an interesting feature to have.

@chike this module might be what you are looking for: https://www.drupal.org/project/image_style_on_upload

Thank you @mably that's exactly what I am looking for.
