We’ve all been there. You build a lightning-fast Joomla website, hand it over to the client, and two weeks later, the performance score tanks. Why? Because someone uploaded a 12MB raw photo directly from their iPhone.
As developers, we can’t always control what users upload, but we can control how Joomla handles it.
Today, I’m releasing JR Auto Resizer—a free, open-source Joomla plugin designed to solve this exact problem. It acts as a gatekeeper for your media manager. When an image is uploaded, the plugin intercepts it, resizes it to your specified dimensions, and optimizes the quality before it ever saves to the server.
At JoomReem, my focus is on "Zero-Touch" automation. I wanted a solution that didn't require monthly SaaS fees or complex third-party services. I wanted something native, fast, and set-and-forget.
Key Features
- Set It & Forget It: Define your max width/height once.
- Modern Formats: Automatically creates WebP versions.
- Native Integration: Uses Joomla 5’s native events—no bloatware.
- Non-Destructive: Option to keep original files if needed
You can download the plugin for free on GitHub.
