# Compress JPEG & PNG images for Magento 1



Make your Magento 1 store faster by compressing your JPEG and PNG images.



[![Magento configuration page](/screenshots/magento-config-page.jpg?raw=true "Magento configuration page")](#getting-started)



This extension automatically optimizes your images by integrating with the

popular image compression services TinyJPG and TinyPNG.



Learn more about TinyJPG and TinyPNG at https://tinypng.com/.



Do you use Magento 2? Install the Magento 2 extension instead:

## How does it work?



When you view a product in your webshop, Magento creates different image sizes

in its cache folders. This extension will compress these images for you

automatically. Any image sizes that are exact duplicates of each other will

only be compressed once.



Your product images are uploaded to the TinyJPG or TinyPNG service and

analyzed to apply the best possible compression. Based on the content of the

image an optimal strategy is chosen. The result is sent back to your Magento

webshop and saved in your public media folder.



On average JPEG images are compressed by 40-60% and PNG images by 50-80%

without visible loss in quality. Your webshop will load faster for your

visitors, and you’ll save storage space and bandwidth!



## Getting started



Obtain your free API key from https://tinypng.com/developers. The first 500

compressions per month are completely free, no strings attached! As each

product will be shown in different sizes, between 50 and 100 products can be

uploaded to your Magento webshop and compressed for free. You can also change

which of types of image sizes should be compressed.



If you’re a heavy user, you can compress additional images for a small

additional fee per image by upgrading your account. You can keep track of the

amount of compressions in the Magento 1 configuration section.



## Installation



Copy the extension key from Magento Connect. Login on your webshop backend

and open *System -> Magento Connect -> Magento Connect Manager*.

Paste the extension key to install the extension.



After installation, go to *System -> Configuration -> Image Optimization*, and

enter your TinyPNG API Key. Flush the images cache to start compressing.



Regenerating the image cache and optimizing all images may take some time and

can be intensive for the server that your store runs on. If you own a large

store with lots of traffic and many product pages you may not want to flush

the entire cache at once. As an alternative you can manually delete parts of

the existing image cache in smaller batches directly from the filesystem.

Images that are missing from the product cache folder will then be recreated

and optimised on a smaller scale.
