<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>Free Trial</h4>

<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 />
* Privacy policy: https://puffpix.com/privacy<br />

<p>This plugin will <strong>not</strong> make any API calls unless an API key has been entered in the settings. Images are only sent to the PuffPix API when compression is explicitly triggered (on upload if auto-compress is enabled, or manually via the media library or bulk compress page).</p>

Smush – Image Optimization, Compression, Lazy Load, WebP & CDN

Thank you for taking over half of the WordPress dashboard with your giant ad. It motivated me to remove your plugin and install EWWW Image Optimizer instead.

Huge black friday Ad. Stop advertising on my dashboard.


Unfortunately, it does not support WordPress Multisite and Arabic Language.
