Compress files

Hi

I am trying to upload photos from the camera to a web server.

With the iPhone 5 my image size is ~3MB which leads to a long upload time. 

I was wondering if there was any way to compress the image file in lua before upload?

Thanks

Max

Have you tried the Zip plugin?

JPEG’s are already compressed.  Zipping them would only get you a little gain in compressing the metadata area’s of the file.

Some people re-save photos by displaying them onscreen, doing display.capture/display.save, and then send lower resolution / smaller files to the server (thumbnails as well).
