<p>Make your website faster than ever with TIO’s smart optimization.</p>
<p>Upload your images like you’ve always done before, and we’ll handle the rest. The Image Optimizer compresses your image and converts it to a modern file format. The result is the lightest image possible, without losing the quality.</p>
<p><strong>Why choose our plugin?</strong></p>
<p>The Image Optimizer uses smart optimization parameters tuned specifically for website images. It’s designed to be a simple companion that gives you the perfect image every time. We decide on the perfect balance of size and quality for your uploaded image. TIO automatically converts your new uploads to the best format (including modern formats like WebP and AVIF), applies lossless conversion or uses lossy compression settings that don’t affect the quality.</p>
<p>It’s perfect for small marketing teams who don’t have the time and know-how to optimise images manually and busy agencies who can’t afford the time to do it manually at scale.</p>
<p>We developed TIO to solve our own frustration with image optimizers. As a result, we were able to achieve results up to 35% file size reduction compared to other compressors. Going the extra mile helps ticking off the Google PageSpeed insights image checks, especially those for next-gen image formats.</p>
<p><strong>How it works?</strong></p>
<p>You upload your images as you normally do — one by one or in bulk, either way is fine. You can do it via the WordPress media library and by uploading directly into your pages.</p>
<p>We categorise what’s in the image to apply the right optimization settings. We use suitable compression and file format conversion, as well as remove unnecessary metadata.</p>
<p>As an example, screenshot compression makes sure to not sacrifice text sharpness, while plain illustrations with low colour depth use more aggressive compression since it won’t affect the quality nearly as much.</p>
<p>We optimise the source file, so WordPress thumbnails come pre-optimised as well.</p>
<p><strong>Supported file formats</strong></p>
<p>The only excluded file format is GIF. We support all other file formats that WordPress allows, including HEIC.</p>
<p><strong>Try it for free</strong></p>
<p>TIO allows you to generate one license key with 50 free image credits per website. That’s enough to test a few core pages and measure the impact.</p>
<ol>
<li>Get a free license key at <a href="https://theimageoptimizer.com/key" rel="nofollow ugc">theimageoptimizer.com/key</a></li>
<li>Paste the key in Settings > TIO Image Optimizer</li>
<li>Upload images as usual — they are compressed automatically</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Credit restoration for peace of mind</strong></p>
<p>Uploaded an image by mistake or we didn’t optimise it to your liking? You can reclaim the credit straight from the WordPress Media Library, subject to our <a href="https://theimageoptimizer.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms</a>.</p>
<p>And if we notice that your image was already optimal, we won’t charge a credit in the first place — nothing to reclaim there!</p>
<p><strong>External Service Disclosure</strong></p>
<p>This plugin relies on <strong>The Image Optimizer API</strong>, a third-party service hosted at <code>api.theimageoptimizer.com</code>, to compress images. When you upload an image with auto-compress enabled, the plugin sends the image file and your site URL to this API. The API returns a compressed version of the image, which replaces the original in your media library.</p>
<p>No data is collected or stored beyond what is needed to process the compression request and manage your credit balance.</p>

TIO – The Image Optimizer – Smart Image Compression & Optimization, Built for the Web

Automatically compress and convert your images to modern formats (WebP, AVIF). Get a perfectly optimized image every time and speed up your website.

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>
<li>MySQL version 4.1</li>

</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin optionally connects to the <a href="https://api.cloudflare.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Cloudflare API</a> to purge your CDN cache.

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 🙏
