Make your Magento 1 store faster by compressing your JPEG and PNG images.
This extension automatically optimizes your images by integrating with the popular image compression services TinyJPG and TinyPNG.

When you view a product in your webshop, Magento creates different image sizes in its cache folders. This extension will compress these images for you automatically. Any image sizes that are exact duplicates of each other will only be compressed once.
Your product images are uploaded to the TinyJPG or TinyPNG service and analyzed to apply the best possible compression. Based on the content of the image an optimal strategy is chosen. The result is sent back to your Magento webshop and saved in your public media folder.
On average JPEG images are compressed by 40-60% and PNG images by 50-80% without visible loss in quality. Your webshop will load faster for your visitors, and you’ll save storage space and bandwidth!
Obtain your free API key from https://tinypng.com/developers. The first 500 compressions per month are completely free, no strings attached! As each product will be shown in different sizes, between 50 and 100 products can be uploaded to your Magento webshop and compressed for free. You can also change which of types of image sizes should be compressed.
If you’re a heavy user, you can compress additional images for a small additional fee per image by upgrading your account. You can keep track of the amount of compressions in the Magento 1 configuration section.
Copy the extension key from Magento Connect. Login on your webshop backend and open System -> Magento Connect -> Magento Connect Manager. Paste the extension key to install the extension.
After installation, go to System -> Configuration -> Image Optimization, and enter your TinyPNG API Key. Flush the images cache to start compressing.
