Title: MiCompress — Image & PDF Compressor Author: huuhuybn Published: November 10, 2026 Last modified: November 11, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/micompress/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3794024) # MiCompress — Image & PDF Compressor By [huuhuybn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/huuhuybn/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/micompress.0.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/micompress/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/micompress/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/micompress/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/micompress/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/micompress/) ## Description MiCompress adds one-click compression to your WordPress Media Library, powered by the [micompress.com](https://micompress.com/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=extend) engine (mozjpeg, pngquant, gifski, Ghostscript and more). * **Row action** — hover any image or PDF and click _Compress with MiCompress_. * **Bulk action** — select several items and compress them in one go. * **Presets** — Lossless, Recommended or Extreme (Settings MiCompress). * Files are only replaced when the compressed version is actually smaller; thumbnails are regenerated. Supported: [JPEG](https://micompress.com/compress-jpeg?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=extend), [PNG](https://micompress.com/compress-png?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=extend), WebP, GIF, AVIF, TIFF, SVG, [PDF](https://micompress.com/compress-pdf?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=extend), DOCX/XLSX/PPTX, MP4, MP3, ZIP and more. Curious how much each format shrinks? See the [compression benchmark](https://micompress.com/compression-benchmark?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=extend), built from thousands of real compressions. ### External services This plugin relies on the MiCompress compression service (micompress.com), operated by MiCompress. It is needed to compress files: compression happens on the service, not on your server. * **What is sent:** the selected Media Library file (its contents and file name) and the chosen preset. Nothing else — no site URL, user data or analytics. * **When:** only when an administrator clicks _Compress with MiCompress_ (row action) or runs the bulk action. The plugin makes no requests in the background. * **Where:** `https://micompress.com/-compressors/compress`; the compressed result is then downloaded from `https://micompress.com/downloads/…`.

Upload the `micompress` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. (Optional) Choose a preset under **Settings MiCompress**. 4. Go to **Media**, and use the _Compress with MiCompress_ row or bulk action. ## FAQ ### Where are my files processed? Files are sent over HTTPS to micompress.com for compression and the optimized version is returned. Anonymous use is supported within per-type size limits. ### Does it keep a backup? No. The attachment file is replaced in place only when the compressed result is smaller. Keep your own backups if required. ### Why is the file replaced in place instead of saved as a new file? So that the attachment keeps its file name and URL: every post, page or link that already embeds it keeps working and immediately serves the smaller file. Only files inside the uploads directory are written, through the WordPress Filesystem API. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MiCompress — Image & PDF Compressor” is open source software.
