Compress JPEG & PNG images for Magento 2

Make your Magento 2 store faster by compressing your JPEG and PNG images.

Important notice: The latest release of Magento 2.1.6 includes a completely different way of generating product images in the cache folder. Magento also reports many users with issues in that images are not showing and have posted a notice in their 2.1.6 release notes along with 2 solutions. We regret that the current version 1.1.0 of this extension is also not yet compatible with these extensive changes. For the time being you can solve this by installing the latest dev-master version with the instructions shown at the bottom of this page. Also be warned when flushing the image cache in Magento 2.1.6, you will most likely need to regenerate a lot of missing images in the cache again afterwards with the catalog:images:resize script from Magento. We hope to release the new version of the extension with backwards compatibility soon.

Do you use Magento 1? Download the extension for Magento 1 Community Edition or Magento 1 Enterprise Edition 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!

Example of plugin configuration in Magento 2:

Getting started

Obtain your free API key from https://way2enjoy.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 2 configuration section.
