## Description

Two jobs your media library needs doing, and nobody has time to do by hand.

**Compression to WebP.** Every image you upload becomes WebP at a size you choose,
keeping every thumbnail WordPress made. Your existing library can be converted in
place. This runs on your own server, costs nothing, and has no limit — with or without
an account.

**A library audit.** One screen showing what search engines cannot read: images 
with no alt text, filenames like `IMG_4837.jpg`, and everything still sitting in
JPEG or PNG. It is usually more than people expect.

**Titles, alt text and descriptions written by AI.** Not generic captions — written
from keywords you set once, for the products you actually sell. Filenames can be
renamed to match, which is what decides whether an image is found in Google Images
at all.

**Every market you sell into.** The same photo described in Polish for Poland and
German for Germany, each with the words people search with in that country — not
a word-for-word translation of the first one.

#### What it costs

Compression and the audit are free, on every plan, without limits. They run on your
server and cost us nothing.

**Twenty-one languages, not just English.** The plugin’s own screens speak English,
Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Slovak, Romanian,
Hungarian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek, Ukrainian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish
and Norwegian — complete, not half-finished. It follows your WordPress language 
on its own, or you set it separately in the settings.

What you pay for is the writing: one description is one image in one language. A
free account covers five, without a card, so you can see what it writes about your
own products before deciding.

#### External services

This plugin relies on one external service.

The AI writing happens on our servers, not on yours, so some data leaves your site.
In detail:

 * **Service:** ConverterSEO API, at `https://api.converterseo.com`, operated by
   DESEO DESIGN sp. z o.o. (Katowice, Poland).
 * **When:** when you press a button that writes something, and when one of the 
   plugin’s own admin screens opens — that second call only asks which plan you 
   are on and how much of your allowance is left, and the answer is cached for 15
   minutes. Never on the front end, never for your visitors. With no licence key
   connected the plugin makes no outbound request at all.
 * **What is sent with every request:** your licence key, and your site address.
   The address is what lets us tell you which of your sites a licence is being used
   on, and refuse one more than your plan covers.
 * **What is sent when writing:** the image itself, its file type, the language 
   you chose, and — when you ask for a rewrite — the title, alt text and description
   the image already has.
 * **What is never sent:** anything about your visitors, your posts, your users,
   or your database. There is no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
 * **Onward processing:** to write the description, our server sends the image to
   Anthropic PBC (USA). It is not used to train models.

Compression and the audit involve no external service at all — they run entirely
on your own server, with or without an account.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Compression and the audit work immediately, with no account and no limit.
 3. For AI writing, create a free account at https://converterseo.com — no card needed—
    and paste your licence key into ConverterSEO  Dashboard.
 4. Describe your business once in your account. Everything written afterwards is built
    from that.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account?

Not for compression or the audit — those work the moment you activate the plugin
and have no limit. Only the AI writing needs an account, and the free one needs 
no card: five images, so you can see what it writes about your own products before
deciding.

### Do I need an OpenAI or Anthropic key?

No. The licence key replaces it. You never hold an AI provider key and never see
a usage bill from one.

### Will converting my library break my site?

No. Every thumbnail size WordPress made is kept, and attachments are updated to 
point at the new files. Filenames are only changed when you ask for it, and files
already used in published posts keep their names, so nothing that is live can break.

### What happens to my descriptions if I cancel?

They stay. Titles, alt text and descriptions are written into your own WordPress,
on your own server. Cancelling stops new writing; it does not reach into your site
and take anything away.

### Can it write in more than one language?

Yes, and that is most of the point. Each market gets its own keywords, written the
way people search in that country. One description is one image in one market, so
a photo described for four markets uses four descriptions from your allowance.

### What languages is the plugin itself in?

English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Slovak,
Romanian, Hungarian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek, Ukrainian, Finnish, Swedish,
Danish and Norwegian. It follows your WordPress language, or you can set it separately
in the plugin’s settings.

## Changelog

#### 1.31.0

 * Fixed: choosing an interface language in the settings had no effect when the
   
   translation shipped inside the plugin rather than as a language pack — the screens
   stayed in English and said no translation was available. Both locations are now
   checked, and the notice on the settings screen reports what actually happened.
 * Fixed: a second copy of the plugin left in another folder could take the whole
   
   site down with a fatal error instead of being ignored. The main file now declares
   nothing itself, so the guard against a duplicate copy actually works, and the
   second copy shows a notice saying which one to deactivate.

#### 1.30.0

 * Note: the copy downloaded from the author’s own website is the same plugin
    with
   the interface translations bundled in the ZIP, for people who install it before
   language packs exist. The copy in this directory takes its translations from 
   translate.wordpress.org, as the guidelines require. Same plugin, same slug, so
   one replaces the other on install.
 * Changed: the plugin no longer takes a top-level admin menu item. Its three
    screens
   now sit under Media, next to the library they work on. This follows the placement
   advice in the review guidelines and puts the tool where someone looking for an
   image tool actually looks.

#### 1.29.1

 * Fixed: the tick inside a checked checkbox could render in WordPress’s blue
    rather
   than white, which reads as a dark mark on the plugin’s orange square. Older WordPress
   releases fill that SVG with #3582c4; the plugin now supplies its own white one,
   so the colour no longer depends on the WordPress version.

#### 1.29.0

 * Security: the AJAX endpoints checked only the general upload_files capability
   
   before acting on an attachment id taken from the request. A user who could upload
   files could therefore rewrite the metadata of, rename, copy, archive or compress
   an image belonging to somebody else. All six endpoints now check edit_post against
   the specific attachment, and the bulk screen lists only images the current user
   may edit.
 * Changed: translations are no longer bundled. The plugin is fully
    internationalised
   and receives translations through translate.wordpress.org.

#### 1.28.0

 * Changed: the plugin’s admin menu no longer claims a position just below
    Media.
   WordPress now appends it after Settings, where plugins belong. The earlier placement
   competed with core items for visibility instead of following the admin hierarchy
   users rely on.

#### 1.27.0

 * Added: the conversion result now reports the dimensions as well as the weight,
   
   for example “188 KB to 79 KB · 1024×1024  800×800”. Conversion replaces the file,
   so the original dimensions stop existing the moment it finishes and there was
   no way to confirm what had happened to them. Now there is, on every image. Compression
   has never cropped and does not crop — the maximum width scales the whole picture
   and keeps its proportions — but a square photograph coming out square is easy
   to mistake for a crop, and this removes the doubt.

#### 1.26.0

 * Fixed: the broken-image icon beside the language flag on media library
    thumbnails.
   The fix in 1.25.1 was incomplete and did nothing here — WordPress hands the newly
   added badge to its emoji script as the top of the tree, and the exclusion it 
   honours is only ever checked on elements below that point. The flag now sits 
   one level deeper, where the exclusion is read, and no picture is fetched from
   outside at all.
 * Changed: the result of a conversion now appears directly under the Convert
    button
   instead of at the very bottom of the panel, three boxes below the button that
   produced it.
 * Changed: the size and width boxes line up in a column, so both lines end at
    
   the same edge instead of drifting apart.

#### 1.25.1

 * Fixed: a broken-image icon appeared next to the language flag in the media
    library.
   The flag is written as plain text, but WordPress replaces emoji characters with
   pictures fetched from an outside server, and when that fetch is blocked — by 
   an ad blocker, a firewall, or a site with no outbound access — the browser draws
   a broken image and the flag beside it. That is why it looked like the flag was
   being drawn twice: it was, once as a picture and once as the picture’s fallback
   text. The flag is now excluded from that replacement and is drawn by the system
   font, with no outside request at all. On Windows, which has no glyphs for country
   flags, it shows the country letters instead.

#### 1.25.0

 * Fixed: the panel beside an image in the media library did not appear at all
    
   until a licence key was connected, so a new installation offered no way to compress
   anything. Compression runs in PHP on your own server, costs nothing and has never
   needed a key — the button to reach it was simply missing. The size box now always
   shows; only writing descriptions waits for a key.
 * Fixed: the translations that ship with the plugin were rebuilt. The compiled
   
   files had fallen five days behind their sources, so a handful of screens came
   out in English on a translated site. They are now rebuilt on every release and
   cannot drift again.

#### 1.24.0

 * Added: the attachment sidebar now has a maximum-width box, the same one the
    
   bulk tab has, filled in with 1000 px.
 * Fixed: converting a single image from the sidebar could not reach the size you
   
   asked for. Without a width to work with, quality was the only lever and it stops
   at 30, so a wide photograph landed at roughly 200 KB whatever number you typed.
   It was never a second, weaker compressor — it was the same one, denied permission
   to make the image narrower.
 * Fixed: the convert button on a row of the compression table ignored the size
   
   and width you had just entered above it and always aimed at 130 KB.
 * Changed: compression now sits at the top of the attachment sidebar, above
    writing
   descriptions. You compress a file first and describe it afterwards; the other
   order means describing an image that is about to be replaced.

#### 1.23.6

 * Fixed: the media library showed no language marker for most markets. Only
    twelve
   of the twenty-nine had a flag, so Bulgarian, Greek, Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian,
   Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian and
   every regional variant appeared unlabelled. A market without a flag now falls
   back to its code, the way the plugin’s own tables always did, so nothing can 
   go unmarked again.
 * Fixed: transliterated file names now follow each country’s official
    romanisation
   consistently.

#### 1.23.5

 * Fixed: file names for languages not written in the Latin alphabet. Bulgarian,
   
   Greek, Ukrainian and other such markets produced a two-hundred character run 
   of percent escapes instead of a readable name. The name now comes back transliterated—“
   drveno-kreslo-maystorska-izrabotka” rather than “%d0%b4%d1%80%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%
   bd%d0%be”. Titles, alt text and descriptions were never affected.

#### 1.23.4

 * First public release.
