In case your stores run on separate live Magento installations, you need to buy an extension for each of them.

Features of Image Magick - Images Optimization for Magento 1

Apart from that, our Image Magick extension has the following features.

Unfortunately, with standard Magento library GD 2 there is little possibility to retain original quality when resizing an image. Luckily, our extension replaces this library with PHP extension Image Magick that allows you for compressing pictures with no quality losses.
