The images generated by my 1080x1920p screen snapshot have a file size of 2 to 3MB.
Depending on how many snapshots the user takes, it may exceed my maximum attachment limit for my email server.
I would suggest a compression for these images.
By going through Photoshop I can easily reduce their file size by 10X.
You can simply use imagemagic to compress your images before adding them into a shareque.

But then I have to use a tool external to Intuiface.
Did you understand that I suggested this improvement for the product?
Yes, I understand your requirement. But typically this can be done already.
It would be a good feature to have either to specify the filetype you want the images to be saved and the target size.

You mean it can be done with Intuiface?
I suppose @Promultis means it can be done right now using a third party tool like imagemagick command line and Launch Application action in Intuiface.
It will always be quicker than waiting for a software update if the need is urgent. Feature requests are reviewed on a regular basis and the more a feature is requested by our users, the more it has chances to be (at least) studied (not implemented, studied).

Alex.

Would this workaround work as it does within Composer?
How do I recover this compressed image?
Do you have any examples?
I thought so at first, but I thought I’d ask just in case I don’t know something.

I’ll see what I can put together

We’re looking forward to
Hi everybody,
In order to achieve what mentioned above
First, install imagemagick, grab it here: ImageMagick – Download
I installed the ImageMagick-7.0.9-5-Q16-x64-static.exe
I wrote down the directory where the command line is located, for me it’s:
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\magick.exe
(we’ll use it later)
Now, the command to use to compress, for instance to jpg, will be:
magick convert -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% "path_to_source_image" "path_to_destination_image"
What’s left is fairly simple (it’s Intuiface) 
We’re going to set up a a trigger/action when a snapshot is taken that is building parameter list for the command line and executing it.
For the source, we use a binding on the URI of the freshly taken snapshot, for the destination, provide what suits you.
(side-note: to build the parameter complete line, as I’m lazy and standard concatenating isn’t handy when you have more than two value, I used a “superconcat” IA that you can find in our last Nexmosphere sample, and now in this one)
Compress results:
Before
After
From 2.5Mb .png to 235Kb .jpg in one click!
Here is the sample I used to do that (don’t forget to install ImageMagick!).
