Optimize images for upload

  • Article

The Power Apps mobile app can optimize images before they get uploaded to Dataverse. This means reducing the file size while preserving the visual quality of the image, as much as possible.

This is very useful for performance and cost savings. When this feature is enabled, the user experience is smoother both when uploading images to Dataverse and when downloading images that were uploaded with optimization.

Important

  • This feature is available for both canvas apps and model-driven apps. However, for model-driven apps, it’s only available with version 3.23081.0 or higher.
  • This feature is not supported on Power Apps for Windows.

Turn on the feature

  1. Open the Power Apps mobile app.

  2. From the Home, All apps, or More page, select your profile image. Your user profile page appears.

  3. Turn on the Optimize images for upload setting.

If enabled, the image optimization is applied when using:

  • An out-of-the-box control.
  • A PCF control using PCF APIs to deal with images.
  • For model-driven apps, any customization that uses client APIs to deal with images. More information: Xrm.Device (Client API reference)

Images uploaded with other mechanisms don't benefit from this feature.
