PuffPix Compress automatically optimizes every image you upload to WordPress — reducing file sizes by 40–80% without visible quality loss. Faster pages, lower bandwidth, better Core Web Vitals scores.
It works by connecting to the <a href="https://puffpix.com" rel="nofollow ugc">PuffPix</a> image compression API. When you upload an image, PuffPix compresses it server-side using industry-leading encoders (mozjpeg, pngquant, cwebp) and returns the optimized file, which replaces the original in your media library.
<h4>Why PuffPix?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No server load — compression happens on PuffPix servers, not yours</li>
<li>Better results than GD — uses mozjpeg and pngquant for noticeably smaller files at the same quality</li>
<li>All thumbnail sizes — automatically compresses every generated thumbnail, not just the original</li>
<li>EXIF stripping — removes GPS coordinates and device metadata for privacy</li>
<li>Bulk optimization — compress your entire existing media library in one click with a live progress log</li>
<li>Per-image stats — see exactly how much each image was reduced, right in the media library</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compression Engines</h4>
<ul>
<li>Standard (GD) — PHP’s built-in image library. Fast and universally compatible. Quality 85 (balanced) or 72 (aggressive).</li>
<li>Pro (mozjpeg + pngquant) — significantly better compression than GD at the same visual quality. JPEGs typically 20–30% smaller than GD output.</li>
<li>Max — maximum compression using the best available encoder per format. Smallest possible file size. Requires Pro or Trial plan.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Formats</h4>
JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF. SVG support is available on the PuffPix web tool.
