What It Does

This plugin allows you to optimize and resize new and existing WordPress image uploads through Kraken.io's API. Both lossless and intelligent lossy optimization modes are supported. Supported filetypes are JPEG, PNG and GIF (including animated GIF). Maximum filesize limit is 32 MB. Even when using Kraken.io's lossy optimization, our system goes the extra mile to ensure that the results are of high quality, every time.

You can use your Kraken.io API key and secret on as many sites/blogs as you like. We have no per-site license. All images uploaded through the media uploader are optimized on-the-fly. All generated thumbnails are optimized too. The main image upload can be optionally resized, which is useful for preventing user uploads with unnecessarily large dimensions.

When restricting the maximum dimensions of the main image using the resizing feature, the resulting image is enhanced using various advanced techniques to help prevent downsample artifacts and produce a sharper result. You can optionally preserve one or more of the Date, Copyright, Geotag, Orientation, Profile EXIF metadata tags. Images can be automatically oriented according to their EXIF Orientation value.
