It uses WordPress image APIs (**GD** or **Imagick**) with sensible PHP fallbacks when a host mis-reports WebP support. * **Automatic conversion** on upload for JPEG and PNG (after WordPress generates thumbnails). * **Keep originals** or replace them after a successful WebP write (your choice). * **Quality** preset and **max width/height** for the full-size WebP. * **Bulk conversion** in the admin (batched AJAX, optional WP-Cron background queue). * **Savings report** per attachment (stored in attachment meta). * **Settings** under **Settings PixelCraft with WebP**. * **Media list column** showing optimization status. * **Frontend delivery**: when enabled, image URLs can switch to `.webp` for clients that send `Accept: image/webp` (compatible with WooCommerce product images that use core attachment APIs). * **No external services** — conversion runs on your server only. **Trademark notice:** [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) is a registered trademark of the WordPress Foundation.

Conversion and logging (if enabled) occur on your server. See the FAQ for details. ## Screenshots * [[ * screenshot-1.png — Settings screen: conversion, delivery, diagnostics, and bulk conversion. ## Installation 1. Upload the `pixelcraft-webp` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings PixelCraft with WebP** and adjust options. 4. For existing images, use **Bulk conversion** on the same settings page (WebP-capable PHP required). ## FAQ ### Does this plugin send my images to a third-party service? No. All conversion happens on your server. There are no paid APIs or remote encoders. ### What PHP requirements are needed? You need **WebP encoding** support via GD (`imagewebp`) and/or **Imagick** with WebP. The plugin detects capability and shows a notice in settings if encoding is not available. ### Will it work with WooCommerce? Yes. Product images use WordPress attachment URLs; when “Serve WebP in HTML” is enabled and a `.webp` companion exists, compatible browsers receive WebP URLs where the plugin applies filters. ### What happens if I uninstall? See **uninstall.php**: plugin options and scheduled bulk jobs are removed. WebP files and attachment meta created while the plugin was active are **not** automatically deleted (your media and files stay intact). You can remove `.webp` files manually if needed. ### Does the plugin collect personal data? No analytics or tracking are included. Optional file logging is local, disabled by default, and when enabled writes only under `wp-content/uploads/pixelcraft-webp/`. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PixelCraft with WebP” is open source software.
