PimpMy Image Upload - Resize Convert & Minify Images for better Pagespeed & SEO

About the Extension

Stop Uploading Oversized Images — Let Your Browser Do the Work

Every oversized image you upload slows down your shop, wastes storage and hurts your PageSpeed score. PimpMy Image Upload solves this at the root: images are compressed, resized and optionally converted directly in the browser — before they even reach your server.

No external API. No cloud service. No recurring usage fees. Everything runs locally in the admin's browser, making it 100% GDPR compliant by design.

Why This Plugin?

• Zero server load on upload — All compression happens client-side via HTML5 Canvas. Your server receives only the already-optimized file.
• No external service required — No API keys, no cloud, no data leaving your infrastructure. Perfect for privacy-conscious merchants.
• Folder-based rules — Set different quality, max dimensions and output formats per media folder. Product images get different treatment than blog headers.
• Before/after preview — See the original and optimized image side by side with file size savings before you confirm the upload.
• Intelligent compression — The plugin only uses the compressed version if it is actually smaller than the original. No quality loss, ever.

Features at a Glance

How It Works

The plugin hooks into Shopware's media upload component. When you select an image for upload, the following happens automatically:

1. The image is loaded into an HTML5 Canvas element in your browser
2. If it exceeds the configured max width or height, it is scaled down proportionally
3. The Canvas exports the image with the configured quality and format
4. EXIF metadata (GPS coordinates, camera model, etc.) is stripped during this process
5. If the preview is enabled, you see a side-by-side comparison before confirming
6. The optimized image is uploaded instead of the original

Technical Details

• Requires Shopware 6.7 or newer
• Pure browser-side processing — no additional PHP extensions or server tools needed
• Uses Shopware's Custom Fields on media folders for per-folder configuration
• Compatible with Meteor Design System (mt-* components)
• Clean uninstall: all custom fields are removed when uninstalling with "delete data" option
