<h3>💡 Why optimize images with Imagify?</h3>
<p>Imagify is an image optimizer built by the same team behind WP Rocket and focuses on delivering the best performance while saving you time, whether you are new to image optimization or managing a large number of images across multiple websites.</p>
<p>Imagify helps you optimize images, convert them to WebP and AVIF, and easily improve performance, including PageSpeed scores and Core Web Vitals. You’ll make your images load quicker without spending time adjusting settings.</p>
<h3>📸 Optimize and compress images easily</h3>
<p>Imagify helps you optimize images by reducing their file size without losing image quality. Your pages load faster, without changing how your images look to your visitors.</p>
<p>You can compress and resize images as they are uploaded, or optimize existing images in your media library. Imagify supports common image formats, including PDFs.</p>
<p>If images are too large, you can set a maximum width. Oversized images are automatically resized during optimization, proportionally and without cropping.</p>
<p><strong>The part you’ll love the most:</strong> Imagify uses Smart Compression to automatically choose the best balance between image quality and file size, so you get lighter images without visible quality loss or having to tweak settings yourself.</p>
<h3>⚙️ Enjoy image Optimization in the background</h3>
<p>If you have many images, bulk optimization lets you optimize them all at once. The process runs in the background, so you can keep working while Imagify optimizes images for you. Original images are always preserved and can be restored at any time.</p>
<h3>🔄 Convert images to WebP and AVIF</h3>
<p>In addition to resizing and compressing, with Imagify you can convert images to WebP and AVIF without upgrading, <strong>as next-gen image conversion is included in all plans, including the free one.</strong>)</p>
<p>You can choose whether to generate WebP images, AVIF images, or both from the Imagify settings. Once enabled, Imagify creates next-gen versions of your images.</p>
<p>To serve these image formats on your site, you simply enable the option to display images in WebP and AVIF. Imagify then delivers the best format supported by each visitor’s browser.</p>
<p>Image fallback is handled automatically. If a browser does not support WebP or AVIF, the optimized JPG or PNG version is served instead, ensuring full compatibility.</p>
<p>Imagify supports next-gen conversion for all common image formats, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.</p>
<p>For instance, you can convert GIF to WebP, JPEG and JPG to WebP, and even PNGto WebP. The same goes for AVIF: you can convert GIF to AVIF, JPEG and JPG to AVIF, PNG to AVIF.</p>
<h3>⚡ Boost your PageSpeed Insights score and optimize Core Web Vitals</h3>
<p>Heavy images are one of the most common reasons pages load slowly. When images are too large or not served in modern formats, they drag down performance and user experience.</p>
<p>Imagify helps you fix this at the source by compressing images and converting them to the next-gen formats mentioned above, so pages load faster and feel smoother to visitors. Such image optimization tasks help your site meet Google’s performance recommendations, fix PageSpeed Insights audits such as <a href="https://imagify.io/blog/serve-next-gen-formats-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">“Serve images in next-gen formats”</a>” and “<a href="https://imagify.io/blog/efficiently-encode-images-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">“Efficiently encode images”</a>, and improve key metrics like Core Web Vitals.</p>
