v2.1 Feature Details
Added GD2 Image Cropping
In the previous version (v2.0), the ImageMagick component was mandatory. Due to the complexity of installing ImageMagick, many users failed to install it and eventually gave up on installing ImgURL. Starting from version 2.1, ImageMagick is no longer mandatory; only GD2 support is required. If the server supports ImageMagick, it will use ImageMagick for image cropping; otherwise, it will use GD2.
ImgURL Main Features
- Supports drag-and-drop upload, multi-image upload, Ctrl+V paste upload, and URL upload
- Supports image cropping and automatic thumbnail generation
- Limits the number of uploads per visitor
- Image compression
- Image content moderation
- User-friendly backend management interface
Batch Image Compression
Starting from version 2.1, ImgURL supports batch image compression. However, this requires support from software such as Python 3, OptiPNG, or jpegoptim. If you do not have this requirement, you can ignore this feature. For those who need it, please refer to the help documentation ImgURL Advanced Features.
Added Comment Code Support
After version 2.1, ImgURL supports adding comment codes (such as Disqus). For usage instructions, please refer to the help documentation: ImgURL Management and Maintenance.
