<p>Manly WebP Converter converting images to the modern WebP format. For example, a shop with 1,000 products can see overall storage drop from around 15 GB to 6 GB. Page load times are reduced proportionally.</p>
<p>Features:<br />
– Convert images for one WooCommerce product or all media images.<br />
– Keep originals during testing or delete originals after conversion.<br />
– Updates attachment metadata and content references in posts, pages, and all other post types.<br />
– Shows progress, logs, and total bytes saved.<br />
– Adjustable WebP image quality — test on a single page or product first and verify picture quality visually before converting your entire library.<br />
– Conversion of thousands of pictures may take hours; you can stop at any time by clicking the Stop button and resume later by clicking Start again — already-converted images are skipped automatically. Refreshing or closing the page is also safe: each image is saved to disk as it is processed, so starting again after a page refresh will continue from where the conversion left off.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>This plugin requires the PHP <strong>GD</strong> extension, which is usually included with standard PHP installations. If GD is not already active on your server, it can be enabled in <strong>cPanel <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> PHP Configuration</strong> with a single tick.</p>
<h4>Conversion Modes</h4>
<p>Both modes convert attachments stored in the media library. The difference is scope:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Single Product</strong> — reads the featured image and gallery post meta of the chosen WooCommerce product and converts only those linked attachments.</li>
<li><strong>All Images</strong> — queries every JPEG, PNG, and GIF attachment in the entire media library, regardless of whether it is attached to a product.</li>
</ul>
<p>After each conversion, the plugin searches <code>post_content</code> and <code>post_excerpt</code> across every post type (posts, pages, products, custom post types) and rewrites both full URLs and path-only references. It does <strong>not</strong> update image URLs stored in post meta or custom fields (e.g. page-builder block attributes saved outside the content column).</p>
<p><strong>WooCommerce product images are safe</strong> because featured images and gallery images are stored as attachment IDs, not URLs — WordPress resolves them dynamically from the updated attachment record.</p>
<p><strong>Warning: page builders and URL-based custom fields.</strong> Tools such as Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and ACF (when set to return a URL) store image URLs directly in post meta. These are not rewritten by this plugin. If you then delete the original files, any such stale URL will point to a missing file and cause broken images on the front end.</p>
<p><strong>Recommended workflow:</strong><br />
1. Run the conversion with <strong>Keep Originals enabled</strong>.<br />
2. Check your site visually — especially pages built with a page builder.<br />
3. Only disable Keep Originals (to delete originals) once you are confident no post meta or theme option holds a raw image URL that has not been updated.</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<p>This plugin is primarily designed for WooCommerce stores. While the All Images mode covers the entire media library, the core workflow and Single Product mode are built around WooCommerce product images. More detailed guidance will be added in a future update.</p>


Manly WebP Converter

Reduces server space and page load times by converting WordPress and WooCommerce images to WebP format.

CompressX

<p>CompressX is a free, lightweight WebP & AVIF conversion and media replacement plugin for WordPress. It allows you to easily convert JPG and PNG images to WebP and AVIF formats, compress WebP and AVIF images, and replace media files without changing their URLs or attachment IDs. All AVIF and WebP conversions are performed locally on your web server.</p>
<h3>Core Features</h3>
<h4>1. Convert AVIF & Compress AVIF</h4>
<p>Convert jpg, png, and WebP images on your WordPress website to AVIF format, and compress AVIF images according to the compression level you set.<br />
If the original image is already in AVIF format which is supported since WordPress 6.5, the original AVIF image will only be compressed.</p>
<h4>2. Convert WebP & Compress WebP</h4>
<p>Convert jpg, png images on your WordPress website to WebP format, and compress WebP images according to the compression level you set.<br />
If the original image is already in WebP format which is supported since WordPress 5.8, the original WebP image will only be compressed.</p>
<h4>3. Media Replacement & Auto Re-Optimization</h4>
<p>Safely replace an existing media file without changing its URL or attachment ID. When a new image is uploaded as a replacement, the system automatically regenerates thumbnails, applies your configured format conversion and compression rules, resizes where needed, and re-optimizes the file.</p>
<h4>4. Exclude Folders</h4>
<p>Select specific folders in your media library and prevent images inside them from being processed.</p>
<h4>5. Custom Folders</h4>
<p>Select folders that are in the wp-content folder but outside the Uploads (media library) and process images inside them.</p>
<h4>6. Auto-Process New Images</h4>
<p>Automatically convert new images uploaded to a WordPress website to WebP/AVIF format and compress WebP/AVIF images upon upload.</p>
<h4>7. Auto-Remove Large Images</h4>
<p>Automatically remove converted AVIF/WebP images when they are larger than original images.</p>
<h4>8. Restore Original Images</h4>
<p>Your images will be reverted to their original state and all AVIF/WebP images and data in the database generated by CompressX will be removed when CompressX is uninstalled.</p>
<h3>Minimum Requirements to use CompressX</h3>
<ul>
<li>Character Encoding UTF-8</li>
<li>PHP version 7.0</li>

CompressX — AVIF & WebP Converter, Media Replacement


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 🙏
