## Description

Image Processing Queue is an alternative to on-the-fly (OTF) image processing (e.
g. [Aqua Resizer](https://github.com/syamilmj/Aqua-Resizer))
 for WordPress themes.

Like OTF image processing, it allows theme developers to define image sizes for 
specific theme
 contexts rather than defining a size for all uploaded images. This
greatly reduces the number of resized images and hence reduces disk space usage 
and the wait time when uploading an image.

Image Processing Queue differs from OTF image processing in how it behaves when 
an image doesn’t
 exist yet. OTF generates the image right away and the end-user
has to wait for the image to be generated. With Image Processing Queue there’s no
waiting. It immediately returns an image that already exists (that is the closest
fit to the image size requested) and adds the image size to a queue. Image sizes
are quietly generated in the background using [WP Queue](https://github.com/A5hleyRich/wp-queue).

Image Processing Queue also accommodates responsive themes much better than OTF.
It allows theme
 developers to define a list of image sizes that will work best 
for their theme’s responsive breakpoints. Images generated by Image Processing Queue
are added to the post meta so that WordPress core’s responsive functions will automatically
add them to the `srcset` and delete them from the filesystem when the image is deleted
from the Media Library.

## Installation

### 󠀁[This should be in WP Core](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-should-be-in-the-wp-core-2/)󠁿

 [onetrev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/onetrev/) مئی 4, 2020

It’s crazy this exact functionality is not in core! These days many themes and custom
built sites/themes have 10 to 15, or often many more crop sizes, especially if you
are trying to support responsive images properly. But usually you only need 3 or
4 crop sizes for any given images. The functionality of this plugin would solve 
that, but it should be WP core to save everyone wasted storage space and to ensure
future compatibility. To me it makes no sense for a cropped copy of the image to
be created when that image is never loaded — ever.

I have been using aquaResize for a long time, this is a game changer. If you want
only the url of the resized image use echo ipq_get_theme_image_url( $id_here, array(
600, 400, false ) );

Real intresting approach and something that should be considered for WP Core – especially
the Batch Processing Stuff isn#t only useful for images …
