The half that usually gets skipped: **pages built with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder or any other builder keep serving the old JPEGs afterwards. Builders copy the image URL as plain text into the page they save, so converting the library changes nothing for them — those pages only pick up the new files when a human opens and re-saves every one of them. This plugin does both halves. It converts your images, and then it updates those stored URLs across posts, pages and builder data, so an existing site gets faster without anyone re-saving a single page. There is a preview mode that reports exactly what would change before anything is written. The conversion itself runs through WordPress’s own image editor, so the generated image sizes simply **are** AVIF. No HTML filtering on every request, no `.htaccess` rules, no redirect layer: your theme, your builder and WooCommerce keep working exactly as before and serve the smaller files. **What it does** * **New uploads** — every generated image size is written as AVIF. * **WebP fallback** — on servers that cannot encode AVIF the plugin uses WebP instead, which is still a large saving over JPEG and PNG. The settings screen tells you exactly what your server supports. * **The existing library** — one click converts everything already uploaded, one image at a time so it works on shared hosting, with a progress bar and a running total of the bandwidth saved. * **Old pages** — page builders such as Elementor copy image URLs as text into their saved pages, so those pages keep serving JPEG even after conversion. A second tool updates those stored URLs to the AVIF versions, so existing pages benefit without being opened and re-saved. **What it does not do** * It never modifies your original uploads. WordPress keeps the file exactly as you uploaded it and it stays reachable through the standard original-image functions, so anything that cannot read AVIF — social network link previews, for example— still works. * It never deletes your old JPEG or PNG files, so image links inside existing content can never break. * It does not contact any external server, collect any data, or add anything to the front end of your site. **Requirements** Your server needs GD or Imagick with AVIF support to produce AVIF, or with WebP support for the fallback. The settings screen shows which one is available and what to ask your host for if neither is.

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through Plugins Add New. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Settings Ibracodes AVIF Converter and check the server capability card at the top. 4. Optional: press “Convert entire library” to convert images you uploaded before installing the plugin. 5. Optional: press “Update all content” afterwards so pages built with a page builder start using the converted images. ## FAQ ### Will my images look worse? At the default quality of 70 the difference is not visible in normal use, while the files are typically less than half the size. Lower values compress harder; below about 65, fine text inside screenshots starts to smear. ### What happens to my original images? Nothing is lost. WordPress keeps your uploaded file untouched on the server and serves the converted versions to visitors, so you always have the pristine source to go back to. ### Does it keep my alt text, captions and titles? Yes. Converting only rewrites image files; the alt text, title, caption and description stored with each image are never touched, including during the bulk conversion. ### My server does not support AVIF. Is the plugin useless? No. It automatically falls back to WebP, which almost every server supports and which is still much smaller than JPEG or PNG. The settings screen states which format is in use. ### Do old browsers still work? Every browser released since 2023 supports AVIF, and older ones support WebP. Visitors on very old software may not see converted images, which is why the plugin keeps the original files rather than deleting them. ### Why do my Elementor pages still show the old images? Page builders store the image URL as text inside the page, so the page keeps requesting the old file. Run “Update all content” once after converting the library and those stored URLs are updated to the converted images. ### Does the content update change anything else in my pages? No. It only changes the file extension of image URLs that point to your own uploads folder, and only when the converted file actually exists. Everything else in the content is left untouched. As with any bulk change, take a database backup first. ### Does the plugin send any data anywhere? No. It makes no external requests and collects no information. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Ibracodes AVIF Converter” is open source software.
