Compress Images and PDF on Any Server That Runs PHP

The PHP script can be installed anywhere on the server, just unzip the folder and upload it. No database are required, PHP 5.6+ is required, that's all.

We Upload, Compress and Replace Images and PDF

Finally, you need to select where you want to run the optimization, which server folder. All your server folders under the ImageRecycle install are listed here, click on the name to deploy the folder tree. All new media added in those folders will be checked and listed in the next step for optimization.

Setup Image Compression Quality

We do care about your image quality, our algorithm has 2 levels of compression for images and one for the PDF. In all optimization levels, we first check the image quality, if it's already too much compressed and it'll be visible, we automatically skip the compression process.

The "Best saving" or "Lossy" image optimization quality is the best choice for the web, you preserve all the visual quality while compressing image by up to 80%

The "original quality" or "lossless" is the best option when you want to compress yet be able to reuse and modify images layer by preserving 100% of the image data. Image can be compressed by up to 20%

Auto Optimize Images and PDF as a Background Compression Process

Once the script is installed you can launch a global compression of the media selected. The optimization process will run in background, meaning that you can work on something else during this time. A cron task need to be stup and that'll be all.

Optimize Automatically New Images Using Cron Task

Stay focused on your work while we're dealing with the image compression. Using a cron task that requires almost no server resources, launch automatically image and PDF compression using ImageRecycle servers.

Folder Selection to Run the PHP Compression

Browse and select one or several folders of your server from the script setting to apply initial and automatic compression on images and PDF.

Run the server image and PDF compression

Here we are, hit the top menu Images to list the optimizable media, if nothing is there hit the button SYNC ALL or try the filter field (top left).

Then use optimize button to check everything is OK, you should be able to compress media and do a "revert to original".
