ArshadStudio Bulk Image Converter to WebP adds a dashboard screen that walks you through three steps:
<ol>
<li>Choose a conversion type — JPG to WebP or PNG to WebP.</li>
<li>Preview the matching images — the plugin lists every image in your Media Library that matches the selected format, with a thumbnail, filename, and file size.</li>
<li>Convert — optionally tick “Delete the original after conversion,” then start. A live progress bar shows status, and each thumbnail is marked with the percentage saved or a failure flag.</li>
</ol>
The plugin performs genuine pixel-level re-encoding using the Imagick extension (preferred) or the GD extension — it never simply renames a file extension. Every output file is verified against the WebP binary signature before it is accepted, so you can trust that the result is a real WebP image.
Conversion runs one image per request over AJAX, which avoids PHP execution-time limits on large libraries.
When “delete originals” is enabled, the Media Library attachment is repointed to the new WebP file and its metadata is regenerated, keeping the library consistent.
