Make gallery thumbnails JPEG

[Emaxo]

As the title suggests, in my gallery I upload high resolution PNG images, I want the thumbnails to be compressed jpeg instead of png. Where do I set this?

There’s no setting for this, but I’m really curious .. why would you want to do this?

I would want this as a site-wide feature (for user content). A 5 MB PNG screenshot would usually just be 100 KB as JPG.

I have a huge gallery and by uploading only high resolution pngs the thumbnails even if scaled take up a lot of space and obviously they are slow to load, having the jpg format would be a great compromise

Is there any update on this front? Unfortunately the PNG thumbnails in my gallery are becoming unsustainable in terms of space

This is not supported by the software. So it’s not currently possible. You can look at having a 3rd party resource developer create this functions for you or you can post a request in the feature request forum for it to be considered for a later release.

There would be no update on this, as its not something on which the software can do at the present time. There is no active plan to support this function at present, however please post up within our suggestions area if you wish to see something like this in the future. Ensure of course you detail the reasoning, as this may not be the only way around the issues.
