Hi Team, 
 
 I wanted to compress appian documents which are uploaded by user, so i can zip them and send to other system via exposing an api , Can we have any plugin for this? 
 
 Thanks,

You will need to be more detailed than simply saying "compress", which has different meanings depending on the context. For typical binary files where you expect to get the exact same files back 1:1 after decompressing them, ZIP is about as compressed as you can get. For images and related content, on the other hand, lossy compression can be applied which can often decrease file size by an order of magnitude or so without much apparent quality loss - but that would be a *completely different* operation.

All I know is what can be searched for at the App Market . Were you unable to find anything when you went there and searched "image compression"? 
 Personally I've experimented before with a smart service called "compress PDF" which applies lossy compression to PDF files (presumably by compressing stored images), but I haven't used any image compression plug-ins; I assume there probably is one, though.
