## Description

Unoptimized images drag down your site speed, hurt Core Web Vitals, and drive visitors
away. Optiq handles it all — automatically.

Upload any image and Optiq converts it to WebP or AVIF, cleans up unused files, 
and offloads everything to cloud storage. Your workflow stays exactly the same.

#### What you get:

 * **Paste from anywhere** — Copy an image and paste it directly into the Media 
   Library. No saving to desktop, no browsing folders.
 * **Safe SVG uploads** — Enable SVG support with automatic sanitization. No security
   trade-offs.
 * **Automatic WebP & AVIF** — Every upload generates next-gen formats. Smaller 
   files, identical quality, better Core Web Vitals.
 * **Find unused files** — The Unused Media Cleaner checks every file against all
   posts, pages, meta fields, and featured images. Review flagged files and delete
   with one click.
 * **Bulk convert your library** — Run existing images through the same WebP and
   AVIF pipeline. Convert your entire media library in a single batch.
 * **Offload to the cloud** — Store media on Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud
   Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, or MinIO. Serve from fast object storage, not your
   server.
 * **Your originals stay safe** — Optiq never deletes your source files. Optimized
   versions live alongside your originals.

## FAQ

### Will Optiq delete my original images?

No. Optiq generates optimized versions alongside your originals. Nothing gets removed
unless you explicitly confirm.

### Is SVG upload safe?

Yes. Every SVG file is sanitized before it reaches your server. No scripts, no vulnerabilities.

### How does the Unused Media Cleaner work?

It cross-references your entire media library against posts, pages, meta fields,
widgets, and featured images. Any file with zero references is flagged as “possibly
unused.” You review, you decide, you delete.

### Will it delete files automatically?

Never. All deletions require your explicit confirmation. You stay in control.
