## Description
Improve your Core Web Vitals and reduce server bandwidth without sending your users’
images to third-party servers.
**LiteLocal AVIF WebP Optimizer** uses your server’s built-in PHP Imagick or GD
library to convert JPEGs and PNGs into next-gen formats instantly upon upload.
#### Key Features
* **Automatic Conversion:** Converts new uploads to AVIF (with WebP fallback) instantly.
* **Smart Frontend Delivery:** Native HTML5 `` tag fallback and `srcset`
support for maximum browser compatibility.
* **Bulk & Single Optimization:** Free tools to optimize your entire media library
or individual images via List, Edit, and Grid views.
* **Restore Original:** One-click revert button across all media views, safely
handling thumbnails.
* **Advanced Controls:** Custom quality sliders, max dimension resizing, max file
size limits, and image exclusions.
* **Privacy & Storage:** EXIF stripping, optional original deletion, and 100% local
processing.
* **Developer Tools:** Built-in debug logging and dashboard space-saved statistics.
### Privacy
This plugin does not collect, store, or share any personal data. All image processing
happens entirely on your own server. No images or data are ever sent to external
third-party servers or APIs.
