Image processing: get size in MB

[dr_narval]

Dear experts,

Sometimes when I shrink an image I end up increasing it’s size (that is in MBs). This is probably due to the quality factor of the image being worse then the one the resizer uses. I know I can lower this, but I do not want to.

Is there some way to query the size of the resized images? I am thinking of simply not using the resized version if it is not smaller than the original.

Thank you!

Is there some way to query the size of the resized images?

The best I can think of is:

{{ sizeInBytes := len $img.Content }}

Thank you bep! This looks like an interesting idea. I wonder about the efficiency however. Hopefully it wont kill my nice build times

This ended up working very nicely. Thanks again!
