💻 How to use

It's very simple and easy to use.

1. Copy the entire path of the image from your folder
2. Go to the command palette and type 'redim', then you can choose to get a link to the optimized file in the cloud or download the optimized file. You will see different quality values, select the one you want to try.
3. Next, paste the path into the input and an info box will show you the link to the optimized image or the downloaded image in your folder as 'filename-optimized.webp' 

Tip: Using redim quality : 90 reduces the size of your image without losing quality.

You can save the link and use it inside your html tags instead of uploading the image from your local, and the image is hosted on cloudinary.

The performance is improving by reduce size image

Comparison of the size value of the original image with the size value of optimized images setting different image qualities:

Original Image size = 6.64 MB

Optimized Image quality 100% size = 4.45 MB

Optimized image quality 60% size = 334.15 KB
