I’ve made a video on using the TinyPNG API to compress your images. Hope this is helpful for some people!
Great job, @theadaloguy! Also the Pro tip on why the data is not linking to the next screen!
Thanks! Yeah that data not linking due to welcome screen is a first for me
So is that image now being served up by tinyPNG? Is there a way to harvest it so that the compressed version can be ours instead?
You would need to download the image. You could use a service like Integromat to send it to where you want to host the image. I don’t think you can import it into the Adalo database as a raw image file, only the link.
Will it be saved by tinyPNG then, or do we need to host the images somewhere ourselves?
We need to host elsewhere, as I believe TinyPNG only store it for 48 hours.
TinyPNG have now introduced on their API methods to store on Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage I see-
I see, will use that then, thanks!
If you’re looking for a simple tool to compress images without worrying about hosting or API integration, you can try an online tool like jpegcompressor.com. It’s easy to use, and you can compress your images directly without losing quality. For storing compressed images, services like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage, as mentioned, are great options.
