About this Add-on
Probably the best image-compression add-on for Thunderbird.
- State-of-the-art compression algorithms such as JPEGli, pngquant, and oxipng, integrated as WASM libraries.
- Saves 70–80% of storage space, even without optional resizing.
- Converts PNG files to JPG when doing so saves space.
- Resizes images to their HTML inline dimensions.
- Uses different resizing algorithms, optimized for PNGs (Mitchell) or typical JPG images (Lanczos).
- Create, import, and export compression profiles, then automatically apply them to specific image types (quoted images, inline images, or attachments)—or apply them manually to individual images.
- Compress, undo, redo, and adjust templates—improve your own workflow and deepen your understanding of image compression through direct comparisons.
- Remove images from quoted content entirely.
- Permanently exclude images from the workflow—for example, your own email signature.
- Download compressed images directly from the application. This lets you build other compression workflows around the add-on that are unrelated to email—for example, website optimization.
- Available in 9 languages.
