Will this feature be added anytime soon? If not, then Ente can't be used for personal use as one takes several photos and videos during trips which one doesnt need in its full resolution when backed up to cloud. If all those media gets uploaded at full resolution, then the storage quota will fill up exponentially faster than its competitors |

For me this is also a killer feature. If this would be available, it would be so great. |

Maybe let's add an internal converter with AVIF too and with quality levels (also add the lossless mode for AVIF so the user can fine-tune it) |

Videos taken on a phone a always a lot larger than they need to be because phones don't/can't apply strong compression to them quickly enough. When I organise my videos I usually recompress them with ffmpeg and they usually come out under 30% of the original size with no appreciable loss of quality. Even a quick recompression might save quite a lot of space. If there's no capacity to do this in the cloud then an option to do this in the desktop app would be great. For me though, I'd still compress the originals to save space locally too. |

A support of JPEG-XL (jxl) would be very helpful in the case of JPEG images. JPEG-XL is a modern image format that could address the compression need while offering additional benefits:
While JPEG-XL wouldn't address video compression, it could be a valuable part of an overall strategy to optimize storage use for images. Implementation would need to consider compatibility with various devices and platforms, but it could be a powerful option for users looking to maximize their storage efficiency.

I take all my phone photos in HEIF at 9248x6936, so they work out around 15MB each. I have the files at full quality on my own PC, plus I run a backup, so I don't need Ente to triple up the storage. I just need a photo library to access at reasonable quality on my phone. Some options like these would go a long way without being too complex:
I imagine pressing the button would:
I'd be more willing to pay for storage if I know it won't be eaten up by massive filesizes. |

Since a lot of people use a phone it would be better to find an application for that. The most convenient way I am thinking is an auto compression app that has a specific output folder and then choose to auto upload that folder through ente.

I would like to see a feature that adds the option to auto compress images and videos on upload.
