th23

Provides easy admin access to define maximum width and height of uploaded images. Uploads exceeding these dimensions will be resized accordingly. Only the defined maximum size will be stored on the server. This way you will be able to save space and bandwidth and serve pages faster to your visitors due to the reduced image size.
Watermark your precious images, keeping track of them in the internet. New uploads can automatically be marked or you can add/remove watermarks via the Media Library. Unmarked copies of images are kept inaccessible to the public in case you want to restore it.
