Does AnQiCMS support setting different quality levels for generated thumbnails?

Images occupy an important position in website content, and thumbnails, as key elements for page performance and visual presentation, naturally receive the attention of many website operators.Many users want to know whether AnQiCMS can allow us to finely control the quality level when generating thumbnails.

To clarify this point, we carefully reviewed the documentation related to AnQiCMS, especially the sections on image and content settings.We find that AnQiCMS provides a series of functions for website image processing and optimization, which are mainly configured in the "Content Settings" to help us better manage image resources.

AnQiCMS provides an option to convert images to WebP format.Enable 'Whether to start WebP image format' after this, the system will automatically convert the uploaded JPEG or PNG images to WebP.WebP is a more advanced image format that can significantly reduce the file size of images at the same visual quality, thereby improving website loading speed and enhancing user experience.This is undoubtedly an efficient image optimization method, which indirectly affects the balance between the file size and perceived quality of the image.

In addition, AnQiCMS also considers the processing after the large image upload.We can choose the 'whether to automatically compress large images' feature and set a maximum width, such as the default 800 pixels.After turning on, if the size of the uploaded image exceeds this setting, the system will automatically resize it proportionally to the specified width.This feature is mainly used to unify image sizes and save storage space, it solves the problem of layout disorder or slow loading caused by large images.

For the specific display method of thumbnails, AnQiCMS provides three flexible processing modes:

• Scale proportionally to the longest sideThis way ensures that the thumbnail displays the image content completely while maintaining the original aspect ratio.
• Fill the longest sideIt will fix the thumbnail size, center the image content, and fill the insufficient part with white to maintain the regularity of the thumbnail area.
• Trim according to the shortest edgeThe system will crop the image to center, making the thumbnail fill the specified size, but the edges of the image may be cut off.At the same time, we can customize the "thumbnail size" according to the actual needs of the front-end page.These settings focus more on the physical size, cropping method, and aspect ratio of thumbnails to meet the needs of different designs and displays.

However, after a detailed analysis of all relevant documents, we found that AnQiCMS currentlydoes not provide directlySet specific options for the quality level or compression ratio of the generated thumbnail.That is, we cannot directly control the compression level of thumbnails (for example, setting the JPG quality to 70% or 80%) by percentage.The existing image processing strategy of AnQiCMS focuses on image format conversion, unified adjustment of size, and flexible cropping methods.

Although there is no direct quality level control, the features provided by AnQiCMS can still effectively help us optimize the website images.You can fully utilize the WebP format conversion to obtain smaller file sizes, by precisely setting the thumbnail size and choosing the appropriate cropping method to ensure the beautiful presentation of images on the page.At the same time, if the original image uploaded has been carefully optimized and has high quality, then the automatic processing based on this can usually ensure that the generated thumbnail has a satisfactory visual effect.

In summary, AnQiCMS provides a series of practical functions for image and thumbnail processing, covering format conversion, size control, and cropping strategies.These features are enough to support most websites in finding a balance between performance and visual effects.For users who have higher and more refined control requirements for image compression quality, we recommend continuing to pay attention to the subsequent version updates of AnQiCMS, or to submit your valuable suggestions to its development team.
