Introduction

Optimize your images by compressing the size before uploading. A powerful tool to compress and resize large images and then upload them to Bubble or AWS bucket (upload feature integrated)

Works with different formats: png, jpeg, svg, webp, heic (iOS images)

❗

NOTE: Converting any image to WEBP will not be possible on iOS devices and Safari browser

Features

Compress image

Compress image from URL

Upload to your Bubble app

Upload directly to AWS S3 bucket

Select multiple images -Compress multiple images

Generate multiple thumbnails -Upload multiple images at once

Convert to png, jpeg, webp

Rename image before uploading it

Auto creates a thumbnail

Set minimum size threshold to convert

Check the image orientation (jpeg only)

Add watermark

Get Image Width/Height

If you don't want to run too many actions, the plugin has one action that combines them all.

Select Compress and Upload

The best results are on large images. For example, you could get a 2MB png image and compress it to a 700KB image and you will barely notice the difference between those two images.

All compression work is done in the browser.

How to setup Plugin and Workflow

Place the plugin’s element on the page and fill its fields.

Workflow Step by Step

Select and Compress one image

Reset Compressor A (Testing):

Reset the compressor that is being used to handle the image compression. This ensures the compressor is in a fresh state and ready to handle new images.

Use the Select and Compress Action

1. Set up fields

At this stage, the system prompts you to select an image.

Once an image is selected, the process of compression begins.

Trigger Compression event:

Important: When the image is selected, the compression process will begin.

Use Event: "Image Compressed" – This event triggers after the compression process is complete, but before the image is uploaded to Bubble. At this point, DO NOT attempt to save the image URL to the database. Instead, use this event to indicate that the image is ready for upload.

Wait for the Image Upload:

After the image is compressed, it will be uploaded to Bubble.

Use Event: "Image Uploaded" – This event triggers after the image has been successfully uploaded to Bubble. This is the key event to save the image URL to the database because the upload process is complete, and the image URL is available.

Set States as Uploaded:

After the "Image Uploaded" event fires, update the state to indicate that the image has been uploaded successfully. You can now safely perform any database operations, such as saving the image URL.

Add Further Workflow Steps (Optional):

If you need additional actions (e.g., saving additional data, sending notifications), add them after the "Image Uploaded" event triggers, as this ensures the image is fully processed and available.

Compress from URL

Reset Compressor A (Testing):

As in the previous flow, start by resetting the Compressor A to ensure it's ready for the new task. This clears any previous settings or data in the compressor, allowing it to function properly for the new image compression task

Compress from URL:

1. Set up fields

After this action, the process of compression of the File from the URL begins.

Trigger Compression:

Use Event: "Image Compressed" – This event triggers after the image from the URL has been compressed. This is NOT the time to save the image URL, as the upload process has not yet occurred.

Wait for the Upload:

After the image is compressed, it will be uploaded to Bubble.

Use Event: "Image Uploaded" – This event triggers when the image is successfully uploaded to Bubble. Now, you can save the image URL to the database.

Set States as Uploaded:

After the "Image Uploaded" event fires, you can update the state to indicate that the image is fully uploaded and proceed with any database actions.

Select and Compress multiple images

Reset Compressor A (Testing):

Reset the compressor that is being used to handle the image compression. This ensures the compressor is in a fresh state and ready to handle new images.

Select Multiple Images for Compression:

At this stage, allow users to select multiple images for compression with specific settings like maximum nr of files.

Once the user selects multiple files, you can add a trigger for the event "A Compressor (Testing) Multiple Selected" to signify that multiple images have been chosen.

Compress Multiple Images:

1. Set up fields

This will execute the compression for the selected images using the settings from the fields

Use Event: "Image Compressed" – For each individual image, this event triggers when that specific image has been compressed. At this point, the image is compressed but not yet uploaded.

After compression is complete for a single image, trigger the event “Done Compression" to notify the workflow that compression is complete for the image. or Trigger "Done Multiple Compression" to indicate that all the images have been successfully compressed.

Upload Multiple Images:

After compression, images need to be uploaded.

Use Event: "Image Uploaded" – For each image, this event triggers after the image is successfully uploaded to Bubble. Only after this event should you save the image URL to the database.

Set States as Uploaded:

Use Event: "Done Multiple Uploads" – This event triggers after all images have been successfully uploaded. This ensures the entire process is complete, and you can update any final states or perform any remaining actions.

Events and When to Trigger Them:

"Multiple Selected" – After the user selects multiple images for compression.

"Done Compression" – After an individual image has been successfully compressed.

"Done Multiple Compression" – Once all selected images have been compressed.

“Image Uploaded" – After an individual image is uploaded.

"Uploaded to S3" – If uploading to AWS S3, after an image is successfully uploaded to S3.

"Done Multiple Uploads" – After all compressed images have been uploaded.

"Error Compressing" – If any error occurs during compression.

"Max Number of Files Exceeded" – If the user tries to select more files than allowed.
