<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the ImgSmaller API to compress images and retrieve plan/quota information.
What is the service and what is it used for? 
– The ImgSmaller API (https://imgsmaller.com) provides image compression and account information used by this plugin to optimize your Media Library and display plan/quota details.
What data is sent and when? 
– When you start compression, the plugin sends the public URL of each selected attachment (or a secure, tokenized proxy URL if the file is not publicly accessible) along with your API key to request compression. After polling completes, the plugin downloads the optimized image bytes. 
– When viewing plan info, the plugin requests your current plan usage and limits using your API key.

Perfect Images handles the basics of WordPress image management that should have been built-in from the start. Manage image sizes, disable the ones you don’t need, add custom sizes, and regenerate thumbnails in bulk. It’s the essential foundation every WordPress install needs for clean, efficient image handling.
Think of it as your image management base layer. WordPress creates too many sizes? Disable them. Need a custom thumbnail size? Add it. Want retina support or modern formats like WebP/AVIF? Enable those modules. Perfect Images gives you complete control without bloat.

<h3>Core Features</h3>
⚙️ Image Size Management 
The foundation of everything. View all registered image sizes (WordPress defaults, theme sizes, plugin sizes), disable the ones you don’t need, and add custom sizes. Finally, control over those pesky WordPress-generated sizes like <code>medium_large</code>, <code>1536x1536</code>, and <code>2048x2048</code>.
🔄 Regenerate Thumbnails 
Bulk regenerate thumbnails after changing sizes or switching themes. Progress tracking, smart processing, and automatic cleanup of old unused sizes.
🖼️ Retina Images (Module) 
Optional module for high-DPI displays. Automatically generate and serve crisp @2x versions of your thumbnails. Works seamlessly with WordPress responsive images.
🎨 Modern Formats (Module) 
Optional WebP/AVIF conversion. Convert images to modern formats for smaller file sizes and faster loading—without replacing your originals.
🚀 Easy IO (Module) 
Optional CDN-based image optimization via EWWW. Automatically converts and delivers your images in WebP/AVIF, resizes on the fly, and serves them from a global CDN—zero server configuration required.
🤖 AI Features (Module) 
Optional AI-powered tools. Upscale images via Claid.ai when your source is too small, or use the AI Assistant to analyze your sizes and recommend which to enable or disable based on your theme’s srcset needs.
