Super Images

Transform, optimize, and encode images (WebP/AVIF) - EE7+

Super Images gives ExpressionEngine sites a production-ready image pipeline without bolting on scattered plugins or CDN-only workflows.

What it does

• Resize, crop, fit, fill, and enrich images with GD, Imagick, or Libvips (auto picks the best available driver)
• Encode modern formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) with tunable quality/effort and optional binary optimizers (jpegoptim, cwebp, avifenc, and more)
• Store derivatives on local disk or S3 / Spaces / R2 with deterministic paths — change a transform and you get a new file, not a stale cache
• Deliver responsive / via tags (image, picture, url) or the file modifier, with generate-before-page-load or signed runtime URLs

Built for real sites

• One GenerationService shared by templates, CLI (doctor, generate, cleanup), queue, Playground, and File Manager actions
• No generated-image database table — existence is the file 〈plus lightweight markers for remote storage〉
• Libvips-safe under PHP-FPM (process isolation via vips CLI / worker) with clear Ubuntu install guides and Diagnostics that tell you what’s missing and how to fix it
