It's quite difficult, but I think you can provide the best solution so that it doesn't burden the server too much.

Alternatively, the uploader needs to make sure their image is not that large in the first place or re-save the image to reduce the size. I don't mind doing something like this if I need to upload images to the forum.

The idea is to reduce work for the user. Although I continued to be of the opinion that it should be the user doing the reduction, not a script. But, recognizing its usefulness, I developed this tool.

I have to think of a way for it to continue reducing to the accepted size.

It just shows Error converting image, and I doubt that reason for this error was file size, it's less than 6mb size, regular JPG file image.

In reality, it can be. The compression method being used is by reducing the image size by 50%. But, if after this reduction, the file continues to be larger than 2.5MB, it will give this error. I have to find a way to resolve this issue.

Is it not possible to further increase the compression method used such as 70% or can you do some custom size so that you can see how much it takes to compress the uploaded image so that it is not more than 2.5MB.

The higher the compression done, the more the quality will be reduced, depending on which compression method is applied Lossy or Lossless.

Or give Normal, Aggressive, and Ultra Optimization levels.

For now, JPG, PNG and BMP are possible. Maybe it's the file size.
What error appears? Or did no error/message simply appear?

I just tried using ImageZip tool again and I got the same error result as shown below:

It's nice choice. It's just you never mention it on https://zip.talkimg.com/ which may surprise few people.

Thanks for the sugestion. In the next updates, I will add more details about the zip process. Wink

Do you think it was a bad choice?

It's good this way. It's still very large. The only alternative would be to add an URL tag to the image, so clicking it shows the full size.

Thanks for the reminder. I totally forget people talked about it about a month ago. Anyway, i just checked the result on other browser and it shows image without any problem. Although the resolution changed from 7680 x 4320 to 3840 x 2160, is it expected behavior?

These are usually very large images, which take up a lot of space. Therefore, this was the method I found most appropriate, reducing the size of the image, so as not to lose too much quality.

I already have everything configured, but even if I didn't, it should be working, since the image link is via the forum proxy. Undecided

Does it only happen in this post or in others too?

Good point: it works in other posts. Maybe the URL is really just wrong in the other one (but it's hard to check with Bitcointalk's proxy in there).

I don't know if some formats are not supported on Image Zip Tool, or it's some other issue.

I appreciate your feedback and your testing. Thanks.

Well done on your efforts to make another useful tool for bitcointalk forum.

I know you said it is still in beta, but after my testing I have to say that it didn't work for me two times when I used JPG images with size of 6mb and second was larger than 9mb.
Third time I decided to try with different format PNG image with size of 5mb and it worked fine.
I don't know if some formats are not supported on Image Zip Tool, or it's some other issue.

Am I going to have to fix all my own image links or is the forum going to do it at some point in the future? I have switched to using talking for new image posting.

I doubt theymos will take any action on old posts because he likely doesn't want to set a precedent of editing users' content on the forum beyond standard forum moderation practices. So it's best to do it yourself. You can automate this process by using this script: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

That's right. For the forum administration to correct the situation, you must modify the post links. An approach that I doubt they will take.

It might not even be necessary to touch the posts, and a proxy could be created for this purpose.
However, to do this you would need to host all these images on another server, on TalkImg for example. I was even available to discuss this situation, but this would involve additional costs that would have to be assessed by the entire community.

So, for now, I think the best option is to do the conversion personally, using existing scripts. The more users do this manually, the easier it will be to find a medium-term solution.

I’m surprised this image issue on the forum is still not resolved beyond asking users to find ways to replace all their image links. I’m curious why this is a thing, but I assume it’s that nobody wants to put in the work to fix it without benefitting personally, otherwise it would have been fixed months ago. Am I going to have to fix all my own image links or is the forum going to do it at some point in the future? I have switched to using talking for new image posting.

Is this because I did not reload the page?
because after uploading the first photo I left the page for a few minutes.
Then I selected NEW UPLOAD and a message appeared that there was no file, even though I selected the file correctly and the error occurred several times.

After I reload the page I can upload again.

This error probably arose because you selected an article and it was not recognized by the system.

Whenever you finish uploading an image, you must click NEW UPLOAD or do F5 (refresh page).

Uploading the first image was no problem and when I did the next upload an error like this.

I've already added ninjastic.space and loyce.club to the whitelist. Now the effect may not be immediate and may take a few hours or days.

I've waited a few days, but it's still not working. Can you check it?

I tested it, but miss the option to delete the image.

I hadn't thought about that (as the objective is not to delete it Tongue

). Thanks for the suggestion, it will go to the list to add in the next updates. Wink

5. When i access that link, Tor browser show following error message

Quote

The image "https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/26/PCjo3.jpeg" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Unfortunately, as @LoyceV commented, the experience outside the forum, in the Tor browser, is not the best.

I've already tried to make some adjustments, but unfortunately due to server issues, at the moment I can't improve this situation. I haven't given up yet, I'm trying to improve the situation so that it can be resolved in the future. But without prediction.

Tor browser always shows that error on talkimg, unfortunately. But if you embed the URL, it works:

New Tool
I am pleased to announce a new tool: Image Zip Tool

This tool aims to compress images larger than 2.5MB, so that they can be used on the forum.
Still in the beta phase, I hope for your feedback, to improve it and become a useful tool for everyone.

To access the tool, simply follow the link: https://zip.talkimg.com/

Please note that as it is still in beta, errors may arise and not all images can be converted.

I appreciate your feedback and your testing. Thanks.
