<p><strong>PuffPix Compress</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Why PuffPix?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No server load</strong> — compression happens on PuffPix servers, not yours</li>
<li><strong>Better results than GD</strong> — uses mozjpeg and pngquant for noticeably smaller files at the same quality</li>
<li><strong>All thumbnail sizes</strong> — automatically compresses every generated thumbnail, not just the original</li>
<li><strong>EXIF stripping</strong> — removes GPS coordinates and device metadata for privacy</li>
<li><strong>Bulk optimization</strong> — compress your entire existing media library in one click with a live progress log</li>
<li><strong>Per-image stats</strong> — see exactly how much each image was reduced, right in the media library</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compression Engines</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Standard (GD)</strong> — PHP’s built-in image library. Fast and universally compatible. Quality 85 (balanced) or 72 (aggressive).</li>
<li><strong>Pro (mozjpeg + pngquant)</strong> — significantly better compression than GD at the same visual quality. JPEGs typically 20–30% smaller than GD output.</li>
<li><strong>Max</strong> — maximum compression using the best available encoder per format. Smallest possible file size. Requires Pro or Trial plan.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Formats</h4>
<p>JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF. SVG support is available on the PuffPix web tool.</p>

<h4>Privacy & External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin sends image data to the PuffPix API for compression. Please see the “External Services” section below for full disclosure.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the <strong>PuffPix image compression API</strong> to compress images.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* The image file(s) selected for compression<br />
* Your API key (to authenticate your plan)<br />
* Compression settings (engine, quality, strip EXIF)<br />
* Anonymous compression metrics: file format, engine, quality, bits-per-pixel range, and compression ratio (no image content, filename, or personal data)</p>
<p><strong>What happens to your data:</strong><br />
* Images are processed and the compressed version is returned to your server<br />
* Images are automatically deleted from PuffPix servers within 30 minutes<br />
* No image content is stored permanently<br />
* API keys are not logged beyond authentication</p>
<p><strong>Service details:</strong><br />
* Service name: PuffPix<br />
* Service URL: https://puffpix.com<br />
* API endpoint: https://puffpix.com/api.php<br />
