Save for Web allows to find compromise between minimal file size and acceptable quality of image quickly. While adjusting various settings, you may explore how image quality and file size change. Options to reduce file size of an image include setting compression quality, number or colors, resizing, cropping, Exif information removal, etc.

Plugin dosn't work with Gimp 2.4.5
Plugin dosn't work with The Gimp version 2.4.5
I cannot configure the plugin.
This is m console output when i run ./configure
checking for GIMP... configure: error: Package requirements (gimp-2.0 >= 2.3.0 gimpui-2.0 >= 2.3.0) were not met:
No package 'gimp-2.0' found
No package 'gimpui-2.0' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GIMP_CFLAGS
and GIMP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
It dosn't find my version of the gimp!
Can I work around this problem?
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron intel/amd x64

You need to install the development packages for The Gimp (libgimp2.0-dev on your distribution)
The original compression
The original compression settings can be automatically reused. Having the original artist optimize the Web compression settings for each image is especially important when variations will be created by an automatic process such as Adobe Server. The original artistic intent can be automatically maintained over hundreds of reuses.
Save for the web Ubuntu Hardy x86 and amd64
Hello everyone, If you are interested in obtaining the .deb packages for Ubuntu Hardy, I prepared 2 packages, one for each version (x86 and amd64) using checkinstall. Please feel free to comment it...

doesn't work
Hi, I'm totally new to GIMP but the one thing I need to do is change a photo into a cross stitch pattern which I can do, but it comes out with a million shades and I need to "save for web" and limit the number of colors so I have maybe 10 to use for the cross stitch. I downloaded the plug in, but it into my "plug in" file in my GIMP folder and I can't seem to find where I would "save for web" in GIMP. Is it under file? Is the plug in not working? help please. thanks!
re: doesn't work
If it is installed properly it will show up under File -> Save For Web.
BTW, I'm guessing you're on Windows, but if you want to try out GNU/Linux there is a very good cross stitch program called kxstitch which will import photos and give you safe colours, what thread you're supposed to use, etc. My mum loves it.

I managed to do it
Hi Bruce
On a hunch, I rev'd up Adept Manager and installed just about everything that started with gimp or libgimp or libgtk that had -dev or -dbg on the end of it. A bit brute force, may have been some overkill. But the configure, make and make install worked like a charm. And I'm ecstatic about the utility! It is wonderful! WHO NEEDS PHOTOSHOP!
Well, my graphics designer GF still thinks she does, but Gimp is plenty good enough for me!
OBTW, AMD64 Kubuntu Hardy environment.
Best of luck,
Tom
UPDATE: Just read the rest of the comments below. See http://registry.gimp.org/node/33#comment-182. Looks like robv got it down to the one lib needed. So the graceful thing would be to install that one. I bet it will work.
Safe for web
How do i get safe for web on a mac???
Safe for the web MAC
well or you compile it or you find somebody that may explain you how compile or available to do for you (and the others that may need it)
Anyway i think the best place to ask about is the help forum
here http://gimper.net/index.php?board=19.0
Save for Web on Mac?
In order to make Save for Web available for Mac, it would be necessary to compile it on Mac. If you don't know how to compile it yourself, your could ask someone from Gimp for Mac community.
Windows installer can't find a GTK+ dll-file
When I tried to install this plug-in I recieved a system alert about missing file. The name of this missing file was libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll. Using my filemanager I found two copies of this file actually located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin\ and in C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\.
What is the problem? How can I force the installer to find this file? Or is it nessesary to install GTK+ in some specific location? Or can you possibly change the installer? Is it possible to install it manually?
My system is: Windows XP SP2, GTK+ 2.4.14, GIMP 2.4.4.
RE: Windows installer can't find a GTK+ dll-file
What you find in distribution for Windows, is not an installer but the plug-in binary itself. All you need to do is to copy the webexport.exe file to proper location. Please follow instructions in readme.txt for details.
I can't compile this plugin
I can't compile this plugin for Linux: the error when I do ./configure command, is that it can't find gimp-2.0 but I have gimp 2.4 version installed by repositories!
sombody can help me?
Install libgimp2.0-dev
If you have not already, try installing libgimp2.0-dev for your version of gimp (Version 2.4.?) from the repositories. It provides the headers and other files needed to compile gimp plugins.
Great Work
This is a great plugin. Thanks for all of your hard work.
image is too large?
It is a great idea. I have many digital photos that I need to reduce in size for the web. Unfortunately, when I tried to use Save for Web with any of them, I got an error message:
The image is too large for Save for Web.
Isn't that the whole point of the plug-in, to take large images and make them smaller?
2274 x 1804 was the size of the images I was working with.
Image size limit increased
The size limit has been increased to over 4000 px in the 0.28.4 version. Note: performance may degrade when working with very large images.
PATCH - it was crashing on me (gimp 2.4.4, glib 2.15)
Your email in not in the authors list nor is there a mean to attach files there . I hope the patch won't get mangled too much . First change is not critical only that crop_changed in the struct returns void so I give the correct type to the g_signal_new. Second fix a full time crash for me seems that glib does not like &crop->rect anymore but &(crop->rect) goes fine .
Best regards
Alban

Crash fixed
I've been able to reproduce the crash with a new version of glib. It has been addressed and should be fixed in 0.28.4 version.
Patch rejected
Hi prahal,
The problem was reported on non-stable glib version. No one has reported something similar on stable versions.
After some discussion on #gimp, it was decided that the patch isn't correct. Therefore, it cannot be applied.
Anyway, thanks for your efforts.
PS. It is possible to contact registered registry users privately by clicking on their name and choosing Contact option.
Very good
My suggestion: Sometimes I need a 1×1,1×1,1×1 color subsampling on JPEG images (It gives better colors), but Save for web doesn't have it.
Sorry for my bad English.
Updated
Included Spanish translation by Guillermo Movia.
pucelo: ok, 1×1,1×1,1×1 color subsampling is in the list of possible enhancements.
