<p>Convert images in your WordPress Media Library easily – FOR FREE. You can choose to only convert specific images or convert your entire media library with just the click of a button.</p>
<p>Unlike other plugins, we will not artificially limit the number of images you convert then charge you to convert more.</p>
<p>If you’re tired of getting a bad score from Google’s PageSpeed Insights for not “Serving images in next-gen formats”, this will resolve that error seamlessly and without deleting your original images.</p>
<p>Once you convert an image using this plugin, then on the front end, any time a user visits your site, they will be served the WebP format of all inline images. For browsers that don’t support WebP formatted images, it will “fallback” to using the original format of the image.</p>
<p>The original versions are always kept in the Media Library.</p>
<p>After activating the plugin, you will have the option to select specific images to convert or convert your entire media library, it’s totally up to you.</p>
<h4>Get in touch</h4>
<p>We welcome any feedback you may have regarding this plugin. Send feature requests and issues: <a href="mailto:webpimageconverter@gigareef.com" rel="nofollow ugc">webpimageconverter@gigareef.com</a></p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once you have the plugin installed and activated, you can choose to either convert images individually or in bulk.</p>
<h4>Convert Individual Images</h4>
<p>To convert individual images, go to your Media Library. If you’re viewing the Media Library in the default grid view, you can click on an image and notice there is an “Convert” button at the bottom right of this screen. Click that button to convert that specific image. The plugin will automatically create a new .webp version of each size of that image.</p>
<h4>Convert Images In Bulk</h4>
<p>You’ll notice a new link on the admin nav called <code>Giga WebP Image Converter</code> – click this to view the settings page.<br />
Here you will be able to convert all your images with the click of a button. Go to Bulk Image Convert and click “Convert”. You can see the conversion progress down below on this settings screen. It will show you all the conversions that have been made and your total space savings.</p>
<h4>Automatically Convert Images On Upload</h4>
<p>You’ll notice a new link on the admin nav called <code>Giga WebP Image Converter</code> – click this to view the settings page.<br />
Here, you will be able to check the box to “Automatically Convert Images”. Now, every time you upload a new image, a webp version will automatically be created.</p>
<h4>How it Works</h4>
<p>You don’t need to do anything else. All inline images on the front end of your website will now get placed within a  tag allowing the webp version of your images to be used in browsers that support the format, and still providing a fallback to your original image for browsers that don’t support webp.</p>

MegaOptim

<p>MegaOptim 2.0 is a WordPress image optimization plugin built for sites that want to optimize images and move older JPG, PNG, and GIF libraries to next-gen formats like WebP and AVIF. You can convert images, compress originals, optimize supported next-gen images, process the Media Library or server folders in bulk, and deliver the best available format automatically on the front end.</p>
<p>If your goal is to convert JPEG to WebP, convert PNG to WebP, generate AVIF versions for better performance, optimize existing WebP and AVIF assets, or use smart compression instead of fixed local compression, MegaOptim 2.0 is designed around that workflow. Next-gen format generation is a major focus of this release, but 2.0 is not limited to conversion only.</p>
<h4>Why Use MegaOptim?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Optimize supported JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF images</li>
<li>Convert JPEG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP and AVIF</li>
<li>Bulk process the WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Browse and process folders outside the Media Library</li>
<li>Use fixed local compression or smart MegaOptim Cloud compression</li>
<li>Automatically convert or compress newly uploaded images</li>
<li>Serve WebP and AVIF with Apache <code>.htaccess</code> or PHP passthru</li>
<li>Track background jobs with a built-in queue monitor</li>
<li>Restore compressed originals from backup or remove generated next-gen files</li>
<li>Optionally process retina images generated by WP Retina 2x / Perfect Images</li>
<li>Use WP-CLI for bulk conversion, stats, reset, logs, and queue tools</li>
</ul>
<h4>Conversion-First Workflow</h4>
<p>MegaOptim 2.0 keeps your original uploads in place and generates next-gen derivatives alongside them. That means you can convert older JPG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP or AVIF without replacing the original source file. On the front end, MegaOptim can serve the best format supported by the visitor’s browser while keeping the original file available as a fallback.</p>
<h4>Local vs Cloud Processing</h4>
<p>MegaOptim works without an API key. If your server has GD or Imagick support, you can do local processing for WebP conversion, local AVIF generation when your server supports it, and basic local compression for JPEG and PNG images. Local compression is useful when you want a simple, fixed local workflow on your own server.</p>
<p>If you add a MegaOptim API key, MegaOptim Cloud can offload processing from your server and is the recommended option for smart compression, original-format compression, direct WebP and AVIF optimization, and broader AVIF workflows. This is the better path when you want smarter results than fixed local compression. The cloud plan is available for just <strong>$49 per year</strong> and can be used on <strong>unlimited sites</strong>. You can get an API key from <a href="https://app.megaoptim.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">the MegaOptim dashboard</a> and see plans at <a href="https://megaoptim.com/pricing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">MegaOptim pricing</a>.</p>
<h4>What MegaOptim 2.0 Can Do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Convert mode: Generate WebP or AVIF versions from JPEG, PNG, and GIF images</li>
<li>Compress mode: Optimize original images with fixed local compression or smart cloud compression, and optionally generate next-gen formats during compression</li>
<li>Next-gen optimization: Optimize existing WebP and AVIF images through the cloud compression workflow</li>
<li>Media Library view: Process individual images, selected images, or run bulk jobs across the library</li>
<li>File System view: Browse folders on your server and bulk-convert images outside the Media Library</li>
<li>Upload automation: Automatically convert or compress new uploads in the background</li>
<li>Delivery settings: Choose Apache <code>.htaccess</code> rules or PHP passthru rewriting to serve WebP and AVIF</li>
<li>Queue monitor: Watch active jobs, progress, failures, and background processing state</li>
<li>Tools page: Run restore actions for compressed originals or remove generated WebP/AVIF derivatives</li>
<li>Restore support: Restore compressed images from backup and regenerate thumbnails</li>
<li>Logging and diagnostics: Use the built-in log viewer and queue statistics through WP-CLI</li>
<li>Retina support: Optionally process <code>@2x</code> images created by WP Retina 2x or Perfect Images</li>
</ul>
