Uploaded images size

hello!
i'm upload a jpg item image, for example, 200kb, but after upload this image size more than 400kb, why? how can i fix it?

It's probably because you configured an "image width/height" in the configuration of HikaShop in order to resize the images when uploaded and that you're uploading JPG files. HikaShop will resize them but with a quality of 100% in order to not degrade them.
Remove these configuration values and you won't have that problem when you upload new images.

okay, it's almost work. can hikashop resize images with quality 50-60%? it's will help site work much faster

Hi,

For the moment, there is no option to choose the compression quality.
But the new Image Helper functions introduced in HikaShop 2.1 have this feature. We would update our different views in order to use the new functions.

If you want to change the compression level, you have to edit the Image Helper (administrator/com_hikashop/helpers/image.php) and change the line: With your compression level (replacing the "100").
Your modification would be a core file modification so, if you update HikaShop, you would loose your modification.

Regards,

Thank you very much!
