If i post large images ( for example 9449x3543 12M ) the resizer is do nothing - the images are uploaded as is.

Yes. Sorry, the uploader is currently limited to resize images at maximum 10MB ... This is to protect your browser, which is not a dedicated image-resizer. I will look into it ...

Ultimately, if you have another resizer application on your desktop, I would recommend using this instead. It likely has better optimization and quality control. Simply copy and resize your images in a temporary folder prior to upload.

Generally speaking, the browser-based resizer is a slow, low-quality resizer, and if users unknowingly start batch-adding 30 MB -size files, it could crash the browser, while output results are below par. If you want OPTIMAL quality for your resized, jpg-compressed, web-friendly images, then resizing prior to upload is strongly recommended.

Don't get me wrong. The browser does an acceptable job, but it's just not on par with resizing algorithms of desktop applications.

Yes, will definitely look into it.
