[Question] Image Compressor/Resizer #3148

Open wafergithub opened 2 years ago

wafergithub commented 2 years ago

Hallo, a beginner here

is there a way to resize the images as we scrape them from internet ? some of the sizes of the images are too overwhelming for my bandwidth and memory disc.

I kindly ask for help, thank you

mikf commented 2 years ago

Some sites have an option to select image sizes, but most just download the best/largest possible version. You can use external tools to resize them after downloading, but that wouldn't really help with bandwidth.

thank you for the answer

i found bandwidth-hero-proxy, it can compress the image while i browse the internet, it also been implemented on an android app

i wonder if this bandwidth-hero-proxy can be implemented in gallery-dl as well ?

If it's a proxy server, couldn't you use it with --proxy?
