Description

Nish Image Optimizer is a fast and simple WordPress plugin designed to make your website lighter and faster.
It automatically compresses and converts your images into modern formats like WebP and AVIF, while also supporting JPEG and PNG.

By optimizing images directly inside WordPress, you can dramatically improve page speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO rankings — without relying on third-party APIs or external services. Nish Image Optimizer runs 100% locally on your server using WordPress’ built-in image libraries (GD/Imagick).

🚀 Key Features

  • Automatic Optimization on Upload – new images are optimized instantly.
  • Bulk Optimization – optimize your entire Media Library with a single click.
  • Multiple Formats – WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG.
  • Skip Already Optimized Images – saves time and resources.
  • Minimum File Size Skip – ignore small icons or logos.
  • Fallback Detection – if AVIF/WebP isn’t supported, it falls back to JPEG/PNG automatically.
  • WP-CLI Support – for developers who want command-line optimization.
  • Lightweight & Fast – no external API calls, no credits, no monthly limits.
  • 🔑 Pro Features – per-image re-optimization, advanced PNG WebP/AVIF handling, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin replace my original images?

Yes. Nish Image Optimizer overwrites originals with optimized versions by default to save disk space.

Can I convert to WebP or AVIF?

Yes, if your hosting server supports GD/Imagick with WebP/AVIF enabled. Otherwise, the plugin will automatically fall back to JPEG/PNG.

Do I need credits or an external API?

No. The plugin runs 100% locally inside WordPress. No external services, no hidden costs.

Will this break my existing images or links?

No. The plugin updates WordPress Media Library references so your posts/pages continue working normally.

Can I bulk optimize my Media Library?

Yes! You can optimize your entire Media Library in safe batches with a progress bar.

What happens if optimization fails?

Nish Image Optimizer automatically falls back to a supported format (e.g., JPEG).
