Overview

The eXtendFiles Uploader automatically compresses files when you're using mobile data to save bandwidth and improve performance.

How It Works

Compression starts automatically when you're on mobile data. Here's what you need to know:

Default Settings

  • Images are compressed to 40% quality
  • Images keep a minimum size of 1920x1020 pixels

Custom Settings

Instead of using the defaults, you can choose the preferred image compression quality, and minimum width and height for compressed images.
  1. Go to the eXtendMobile home page
  2. Locate and tap the gear icon in the bottom right corner to access settings
