How To Resize Images in Joomla

This tutorial is a response to a question we've been asked often in classes:

"How can I resize images as I upload them?"

We're going to recommend Image Resize. It works so naturally with the Joomla workflow that most people don't even notice it. Here's how to use it:

  • Step 1: Visit Joomlaforge.net and download the file called plg_imageresize_v.5.zip
  • Step 2: In the administration area of your Joomla site, go to Extensions >> Install / Uninstall and upload the file.
  • Step 3: Go to Extensions >> Plugin Manager. Find "Image Resize" and enable it.
  • Step 4: Go to Content >> Article Manager and edit an article.
  • Step 5: Click on the image link at the bottom of the article and upload an image. Insert it into the article.
  • Step 6: Select the image and drag the corners until the image is the size you want it to be.
  • Step 7: When you view the article on the frontend, Image Resize does all the work for you and creates a new version of your image!

Once I start the class, can I go back to the previous topics?
Can I print out the lesson for later reference?

Is there an image resize extension you like for J 1.6?

Hi Lupe,

Give this one a try:
extensions.joomla.org/.../5738

:)

Let me know on the forums if you have any trouble with it.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi I installed as per instructed in Step 1 above but it says this:

Dynamically resizes image in articles. ImageMagick must be installed for this to work.

Is it a browser installation thing or is it to be installed inside the Joomla site...if so how do I install it?

It looks like this extension has been removed from the Joomla extensions website because it has a broken link.

Looks like this one may be what you're after: extensions.joomla.org/.../...

Actually never mind about that last link. It's not as promising as the opening sentance seems.
