Frequently Asked Questions

Will this overwrite my original images?

Only if you choose the overwrite option. Otherwise, new WebP images are created as separate attachments.

Does it support all image sizes?

Can I undo the conversion?

If you chose to overwrite originals, the change is permanent. If new attachments were created, the original images remain intact.
