Bulk Convert<\/code> to process existing images, or leave auto-convert enabled to handle new uploads automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWhich image types can this plugin convert?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF input formats, and converts them all to WebP. WordPress-generated thumbnail sizes are converted automatically alongside the original.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin convert thumbnails too?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin converts the main attachment file and all WordPress-generated image sizes when available.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does this plugin send my images to an external service?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. All conversion and bulk-processing code is first-party and runs entirely on your own server using GD or ImageMagick. No external services are contacted and no third-party libraries are bundled.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can it convert images automatically on upload?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Automatic conversion can be enabled so every newly uploaded JPEG, PNG, or GIF is converted to WebP the moment it's added to your Media Library.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens during bulk conversion?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin prepares the image list, processes images in batches, updates progress live in the admin UI, and records the results in the dashboard so you can track converted, pending, and failed images as it runs.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I restore the original images?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin can remove the generated WebP files and switch delivery back to your original media files at any time \u2014 for a single image or in bulk.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it support both ImageMagick and GD?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin supports both engines, with automatic detection depending on availability and your selected settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is there a Pro version?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. SPINX Digital Image Converter Pro is an optional add-on that runs alongside this free plugin and adds Conversion Quality control, an image-type filter, System Logs, Replace URLs in Post Content, Large Image Scaling, a filtered Images screen with per-image actions, before\/after Image Comparison, Pause\/Resume and Restore-All for bulk runs, media offload \/ CDN compatibility (Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Storage), and secure SVG uploads with sanitization. Details: https:\/\/apps.spinxdigital.com<\/a><\/p>\n\nThe free plugin remains fully functional without it \u2014 conversions are unlimited and nothing is time-limited or locked.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I get support?<\/h3><\/dt>\nWhen opening a support request, please include:<\/p>\n\n
\n- WordPress version<\/li>\n
- PHP version<\/li>\n
- Selected image engine (GD or ImageMagick)<\/li>\n
- Steps to reproduce the issue<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: optional server-level WebP delivery. Choose \"Server rewrite (.htaccess)\" in Settings to serve WebP files on the original image URL via rewrite rules in uploads\/.htaccess (Apache\/LiteSpeed), with automatic fallback to the original image for browsers without WebP support.<\/li>\n
- The server rewrite mode covers images referenced anywhere \u2014 page builders, theme templates, CSS \u2014 and keeps serving WebP even while the plugin is deactivated. The rules are removed when the plugin is deleted or the delivery method is switched back.<\/li>\n
- Restoring an image works exactly as before: the WebP file is deleted and the server automatically serves the original again. No content or database URLs are modified by this delivery mode.<\/li>\n
- Default behavior is unchanged: the existing PHP filter delivery remains the default.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Performance improvement change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
