AVIF & WebP Converter


It's all new, but I believe this can go far ! I was looking for a plugin with free AVIF conversion, and locally hosted (a lot of images plugins use their servers to compress, that's why a lot of them are expensive).Awesome support, totally free (for now ?), does the same thing as the famous Media Converter, but with free AVIF. Take my 5/5 rating ;)EDIT : Oh no wait, it does more than media converter, allowing you to set a max width / height on your images :fire:


This may be my future goto plugin for image optimisation


Deserves 5-stars just for vision and generosity in making this exist!



Will give it a thorough test and post any feedback as we go.



Thank you 🙏
