Installation

JetBrains Marketplace

Install from the TinyJPG Compressor plugin page, or from the IDE:

1. Open Settings / Preferences → Plugins → Marketplace.
2. Search for TinyJPG Compressor.
3. Click Install and restart the IDE if prompted.

GitHub Releases

1. Open GitHub Releases.
2. Download the plugin ZIP from the release's Assets section, not the source code archive.
3. Open Settings / Preferences → Plugins → ⚙ → Install Plugin from Disk….
4. Select the downloaded ZIP without extracting it, and restart the IDE if prompted.

End users do not need to install a separate JDK; the plugin runs on the IDE's bundled runtime.

Usage

1. Select image files or directories in the Project view.
2. Right-click and choose TinyJPG Compress.
3. Monitor progress and results in the TinyJPG Console tool window at the bottom of the IDE.
4. Check the completion notification for the number of successful and failed files.

Images are uploaded to TinyJPG for compression, and successful results replace the original files in place. Keep a backup or commit your images to version control before compressing them.

Features

• Supports .jpg, .jpeg, .png, and .webp images.
• Recursively collects images from selected directories.
• Skips unsupported files and images larger than 5 MB.
• Processes up to two images concurrently.
• Displays progress, size changes, and errors in a dedicated console.
• Uses atomic file replacement when saving compressed images.

Development

Requirements

• JDK 21.
• Internet access to download Gradle, the IntelliJ Platform SDK, and build dependencies.

The project uses the Gradle wrapper and builds against IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3.3. A separate Gradle installation is not required.

Build the plugin

macOS / Linux:

./gradlew buildPlugin

Windows PowerShell:

.\gradlew.bat buildPlugin

The plugin ZIP is generated in build/distributions/. Install it using Install Plugin from Disk… as described above.

Run a development IDE

macOS / Linux:

./gradlew runIde

Windows PowerShell:

.\gradlew.bat runIde

Release and Publishing

GitHub Releases

The release workflow is triggered manually:

1. Update the project version in gradle.properties and the Changelog, then push the changes.
2. Run the workflow on the intended branch, providing a matching tag such as v1.0.1 and a release description.
3. The workflow builds the plugin, creates and pushes the tag, and publishes a GitHub Release with the plugin ZIP.

Pushing a commit alone does not trigger this workflow. The workflow does not publish to JetBrains Marketplace.

JetBrains Marketplace

To publish to Marketplace, configure publishToken in your user-level ~/.gradle/gradle.properties, or set the PUBLISH_TOKEN environment variable. Never commit the token to the repository.

./gradlew publishPlugin

On Windows, use .\gradlew.bat publishPlugin.
