New images are compressed the moment they are stored, so a site never picks up another oversized photo. The same tool can be pointed at years of existing records to shrink what is already there, without touching a line of application code twice.
What ports as-is
- Conversion at the write path, replacing only when smaller and decodable
- A standalone tool linking the same converter for records already stored
- Publishing that tool as a self-contained binary for a restricted host
What we build for you
- Which columns hold the images and how they are encoded on the way in
- Whether the database can be reached directly or only from an authorized host
