Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The plugin leaves your original upload untouched and saves the AVIF version alongside it, updating WordPress to use the optimised copy. If you ever want to revert, simply change the URL or re-select the original image in your content.
The bulk optimiser scans post content, excerpts, post meta and the options table so URLs saved by page builders, featured images, theme customiser settings and similar locations will be kept aligned with the new AVIF file.
Set your preferred quality level between 10 (smallest files) and 100 (highest fidelity). The default value of 82 matches a balanced preset used by many image optimisation tools.
