## Description

JaziTech Image Compressor automatically compresses your images when you upload them
to WordPress — no API key, no external service, no monthly fees. Everything happens
on your own server using the PHP GD library.

**Free features:**

 * **Auto-compress on upload** — JPEG, PNG and GIF files are compressed the moment
   they are uploaded, before WordPress generates thumbnails.
 * **Adjustable quality** — set JPEG quality from 1 to 100 (default 82, a great 
   balance of size and quality).
 * **Strip EXIF / metadata** — remove embedded metadata from images for smaller 
   files and more privacy.
 * **Backup originals** — keep a backup copy of every original image and restore
   it any time from the Media Library.
 * **Bulk optimize** — compress all existing images in your media library with AJAX
   batch processing and a live progress bar.
 * **Savings column** — the Media Library shows original size, compressed size and
   percentage saved for every image.
 * **Max dimensions** — optionally resize oversized images on upload.

**Privacy:** This plugin does not phone home. It sends no data anywhere — all compression
happens locally on your server using PHP GD.

Want more? **JaziTech Pro** adds WebP & AVIF conversion, scheduled background optimization,
unlimited priority bulk processing and a global image CDN. See Settings  Go Pro 
inside the plugin.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `jazitech-image-compressor` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install it from the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings  Image Compressor to adjust quality and options.
 4. Go to Media  Bulk Optimize to compress images you already uploaded.

Requires the PHP GD extension (enabled on virtually all WordPress hosts).

## FAQ

### Will this work without an API key?

Yes. Unlike many image optimizers, this plugin compresses images locally on your
server with PHP GD. No account, no API key, no usage limits.

### Will it slow down my uploads?

Compression adds a fraction of a second per image on typical hosting. Bulk optimization
processes images in small batches so it never times out.

### Can I restore the original images?

Yes — if “Keep backup of originals” is enabled (the default), every original is 
backed up before compression. Use the “Restore original” link in the Media Library
list.

### Does it convert to WebP?

WebP and AVIF conversion are Pro features. The free version compresses JPEG, PNG
and GIF in their original formats.

### Does the plugin send my images anywhere?

No. All processing happens on your own server. The plugin makes zero external requests.
