iMax Width helps keep inline images under control and from breaking template layouts. Processing occurs on post save instead of post view so it is not that intensive on the server.
Here are some of the features:

* Adds height & width tag to all images (keeps a page from jumping around while the images load)
* You can set it to physically resize large images, conserve space on your server, reduce bandwidth usage & download time.
* Sets the width tag in IMG tags to a max size if it is set bigger or is non-existent 

* New to v1.2! 
   - Physically resizes PNG files as well as JPEGs for my Mac user friends
   - Works on older servers running php4+ (thanks colas!)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Doesn't the max-width css tag do the same thing? =

Partially, except IE6 doesn't recognize the max-width tag and a lot of people still use that bo-bo browser. Plus there are other benefits of the plugin other than making it fit in a max width.


= How can I tell if it's working? =

Set the image width to 400px or something in the iMax Width Options. Then upload an image that is larger than this. place the image in the post and save. Viewing the post you will notice it will have been resized to the width you specified. If you are not using the WYSIWYG editor you will notice the height= and width= tags were added to the <IMG> tag.


= Usually I want all pictures to be set to 200px max width, but there is this one i want to be 300px. How can I override imaxwidth? =

Go to Options >> iMax Width, uncheck Force Width, then go to your picture that you want to be 300px and replace it's width and height tags with width='300'. If you have Permanent resize on make sure you add in the width='300' tag before you save the post initially or the image will be resized on the server and you could get grainy results.
