PicPrune Form Uploads helps WordPress sites handle large image uploads submitted through forms.
Visitors often upload full-size phone photos. These files can make notification emails heavy, fill mailboxes, slow down manual review, and consume unnecessary storage. This plugin optimizes uploaded images server-side during WordPress upload handling and before Contact Form 7 sends email attachments.
Features
- Compress JPEG, PNG, and WebP uploads.
- Convert HEIC/HEIF files to JPG when the server supports it.
- Resize large images to configurable maximum dimensions.
- Optimize Contact Form 7 temporary uploads before mail delivery.
- Optimize image uploads from Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 before mail delivery.
- Replace converted HEIC/HEIF Contact Form 7 attachments with JPG files.
- Skip small files below a configurable threshold.
- Keep the original when optimization would make a file larger.
- Settings page under Settings > PicPrune Form Uploads.
Example use cases
- Quote request forms with photo uploads.
- Support forms with screenshots or product photos.
- Application, registration, and booking forms.
- Inspection, reporting, or documentation forms.
- Any Contact Form 7 form where users upload images.
HEIC / HEIF support
HEIC/HEIF conversion requires the PHP Imagick extension and an ImageMagick build with HEIC or HEIF decoding support. If this support is unavailable, the plugin leaves HEIC/HEIF files unchanged and shows a warning on the settings page. JPEG, PNG, and WebP optimization can still work through standard WordPress image editing support.
