About

ANK Image Compress optimizes images stored in a MODX site through the ANK Image Lab API. Enter your API key in the manager to compress individual images or process existing files in batches. Search processed files, review savings, and restore originals when needed. Optional scheduled processing handles new images. Requires a MODX 3 installation and an ANK Image Lab account.

Installation & usage

Install the transport package from Extras > Installer. Open Extras > ANK Image Compress, create an account at https://ankpicpress.com/ and enter your API key. Compress files individually or in batches, search results, and restore originals from the manager page. For automatic processing, enable the setting and schedule core/components/ankimagecompress/cron.php with PHP CLI every five minutes as the web-server user. PHP 8.0+ and cURL are required.
