<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 optimizer built around three goals:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Further compress existing WebP and AVIF images.</strong> Next-gen formats are already small — MegaOptim 2.0 squeezes more out of them while keeping originals intact.</li>
<li><strong>Convert old JPG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP or AVIF.</strong> Modernize your Media Library and serve next-gen formats to supported browsers, with the original file preserved as a fallback.</li>
<li><strong>Optimize old formats in place.</strong> Make JPEG and PNG smaller without changing the format — useful when you want savings but don’t want a next-gen conversion. GIF, WebP, and AVIF compression are available through MegaOptim Cloud.</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin is <strong>free</strong> when you use the local method (GD or Imagick on your server). For smarter compression — including further optimization of existing WebP and AVIF files — add an API key and use <strong>MegaOptim Cloud</strong>, available for around <strong>$54 per year</strong> on <strong>unlimited sites</strong>.</p>
<h4>Why Use MegaOptim?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Further compress existing WebP and AVIF images for extra savings</li>
<li>Convert JPEG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP or AVIF</li>
<li>Optimize JPEG and PNG in place with no format change (GIF/WebP/AVIF compression via Cloud)</li>
<li>Bulk process the WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Browse and process folders outside the Media Library</li>
<li>Free local processing or smarter 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>Free Local Processing or MegaOptim Cloud</h4>
<p>MegaOptim works without an API key. If your server has GD or Imagick, you can convert JPEG/PNG/GIF to WebP, generate AVIF where your server supports it, and compress JPEG and PNG entirely on your own server — free, forever. GIF, WebP, and AVIF compression are available via MegaOptim Cloud.</p>
<p>For noticeably better results — including further compression of existing WebP and AVIF images, smarter JPEG/PNG optimization, and broader AVIF support — add a MegaOptim API key. MegaOptim Cloud offloads processing from your server and costs just <strong>$54 per year</strong> for <strong>unlimited sites</strong>. 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>
