## Description

**OmegaPix Image Optimizer** makes your WordPress images lighter — automatically,
and entirely on your own server. When an image is uploaded it’s resized if oversized
and converted to next‑gen **WebP** (or **AVIF** where your server supports it). 
No image is ever sent to an external service. No account, no API credits, no monthly
quota.

It’s the WordPress companion to [OmegaPix](https://omegapix.app), the privacy‑first
image & PDF toolkit. Same promise, both places: **your files never leave your own
infrastructure.**

#### Why OmegaPix Image Optimizer

 * **Local‑first & private** — everything runs on your server. Unlike cloud optimizers,
   your media is never uploaded to a third party. GDPR‑friendly by design.
 * **Automatic at upload** — set it once; every new upload is resized and converted.
   Editors don’t change how they work.
 * **Accept, don’t block** — large images are optimized, never rejected. Only disallowed
   file _types_ are refused.
 * **WebP & AVIF, best‑available** — prefers AVIF, falls back to WebP, and skips
   gracefully if the server can’t do either.
 * **You can actually see it working** — a Media Library column shows each image’s
   status, file‑size savings, and links to the generated next‑gen files. No black
   box.
 * **Bulk optimize your existing library** — batched, time‑out‑safe AJAX runs with
   live progress.
 * **Reprocess any single image** — one click on any attachment.
 * **Capability‑aware** — detects GD/Imagick support for WebP/AVIF and warns you
   honestly instead of failing silently.
 * **Safe by default** — never destructive. “Replace Original” is optional, off 
   by default, and clearly flagged Beta until rollback exists.
 * **Free.** The whole thing. A premium tier may come later, but the core optimizer
   is free.

#### How it helps your site

Lighter images mean faster loads, better **Core Web Vitals** (LCP/CLS), higher PageSpeed
scores, and better SEO — without sending a single file off your server.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/omegapix-image-optimizer`, or install
    it from **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Activate it through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Open **OmegaPix** in the admin menu. The plugin auto‑detects whether your server
    supports WebP and AVIF and tells you what’s available.
 4. (Optional) Run **Bulk Optimize** to process images you’ve already uploaded.
 5. New uploads are optimized automatically from now on.

## FAQ

### Are my images uploaded to OmegaPix or any cloud service?

No. All processing happens on your own server using PHP’s GD or Imagick. Nothing
is ever sent to OmegaPix or any third party.

### What’s the difference between this and the OmegaPix website?

The website (omegapix.app) processes images right in your browser. This plugin processes
them on your WordPress server. Both share the same rule: your files never reach 
our servers.

### Does it support AVIF?

Where your server can (GD/Imagick built with AVIF support), yes — and it’s preferred
over WebP. If AVIF isn’t available it uses WebP; if neither is available it tells
you clearly.

### Will it delete or damage my original images?

No. By default originals are kept and next‑gen copies are generated alongside them.“
Replace Original” is an optional, off‑by‑default Beta feature.

### Will it slow down my uploads?

Conversion happens at upload time and is optimized to be quick; bulk runs on existing
media are batched so they won’t time out.

### Is it really free?

Yes — the core optimizer is free. A premium tier may be added later, but local optimization,
WebP/AVIF conversion, and bulk processing are free.
