The D-LIS system

Feature 02 of 13

Media library

You do not have to resize photos or know anything about file formats. You upload a photo straight from a camera or a phone, and the system prepares light versions that make the site load fast.

What you get

You upload a photo — the system does the rest

  • Smaller files

    A large photo is scaled down and saved in the modern WebP and AVIF formats. It weighs many times less and looks the same.

  • A version for every screen

    A phone gets a smaller image, a large monitor a bigger one. Visitors never download more than they really need.

  • No hidden data

    Photos from a camera carry hidden information, such as the place where they were taken. The system removes it on upload.

  • Safe SVG graphics

    An SVG file can hide code that has no business reaching your site. On upload the system cleans it and leaves the drawing alone.

  • An organised library

    You sort files into folders and tag them with labels, and filters find what you are looking for in seconds. You upload many files at once, and move, tag or delete them in bulk.

  • Cropping and duplicates

    You crop a photo right in the panel, without a graphics program. When you upload a file that is already in the library, the system recognises it and warns you or refuses it — whichever you choose.

What it looks like day to day

Three steps in the panel

  1. 01

    You upload the file

    You drag the photo into the library — at whatever size you have it on your disk.

  2. 02

    The system prepares it

    Smaller versions appear in several widths and formats, with no EXIF data.

  3. 03

    You use as many as you like

    You place the same photo on pages and in posts, and the visitor’s browser picks the lightest version by itself.
