Image Handler 3 for Zen Cart

Image Handler 3 for Zen Cart

Zen Cart module Image Handler 3 enables you to use the GD libraries or ImageMagick installed on your server to automatically generate and resize small, medium and large images on the fly. You upload just one large image and IH will create the large, medium and small sizes your Zen Cart needs, or you can have different image file sources for medium and large images. Image Handler 3 also enables you to watermark your images and have medium or large images pop up when you move your mouse over a small image (fancy hover). Most importantly, Image Handler 3 has a powerful administration interface to browse your cart's products just like you would in Attribute Manager and manage (upload / delete / add) additional product images without having to do this manually via FTP. Image Handler 3 works side by side with mass update utilities like EzPopulate.
