Batch regenerate AnQiCMS website thumbnails: Adapt to new size settings
In the AnQiCMS content management system, thumbnails are an indispensable part of the website content display.They are presented in various scenarios such as list pages, recommendation positions, and search results, directly affecting users' initial perception and willingness to click.With the iteration of website design or adjustment of operation strategy, we often encounter situations where we need to change the thumbnail display size.For example, to improve the website loading speed, we may need smaller thumbnails; or to adapt to higher resolution screens, we need clearer thumbnails.In AnQiCMS, batch regenerating all thumbnails of the website to fit the new size settings is a convenient and efficient operation.
The size and processing method of the website thumbnail are unifiedly configured in the 'Content Settings' of AnQiCMS backend.Here, you can finely control the thumbnail generation logic.
FirstlyThumbnail processing methodThis determines how the system generates thumbnails based on the original image. AnQiCMS provides three mainstream processing methods:
- Scale proportionally by the longest sideThis method will maintain the original aspect ratio of the image, ensuring that the thumbnail does not distort and that all sides of the image are fully displayed.The system will resize the image's 'longest side' to the target size according to the set target dimensions, and the other side will be automatically adjusted in proportion.
- Scale proportionally by the longest side with paddingIf you need a thumbnail with fixed width and height without cropping the image content, this method is very suitable.The image will be centered in the specified size area, and the insufficient part will be filled with white (or other preset colors) to achieve the specified thumbnail size.

Common Questions (FAQ)
Question: Can I regenerate thumbnails for specific articles or categories instead of the entire site?
Answer: The batch thumbnail regeneration feature of AnQiCMS is a site-wide operation, which will update the thumbnails of all uploaded images according to the latest size and processing method you defined in 'Content Settings'.If you need to make local adjustments to specific content, you may need to consider uploading the image separately or manually handling the related logic.
Question: How long does it take to regenerate thumbnails in bulk? Will it affect website access?
Answer: The time it takes to regenerate depends on the total number of images on your website and the performance of the server.The more images there are, the lower the server configuration, and the longer the time required.On large-scale websites, this may exert some pressure on the server's CPU and disk I/O.Suggest performing this operation during off-peak hours with low website traffic to minimize the impact on user access experience as much as possible.
Question: Do I need to manually execute 'Batch regenerate thumbnails' every time I upload a new image?
Answer: No need.Once you have configured the thumbnail size and processing method in the 'Content Settings', all new uploaded images will automatically generate thumbnails according to these latest settings.Only when you have changed these settings do you need to use the 'Batch regenerate thumbnails' feature to update the existing old thumbnails on the website.
