On shared hosting with inode (file count) limits, this fills your quota fast, slows down backups, and wastes disk space. **ShinPix** gives you back control: * **Choose which image sizes are generated.** See every size registered by WordPress and your theme, with dimensions, and disable the ones you do not use. * **See your savings.** ShinPix shows how many files each upload stores now versus the maximum, so you can see the inodes you save at a glance. * **Safe by default.** ShinPix flags the sizes the WordPress admin and block editor rely on, and warns you before you disable them. * **Cap oversized uploads.** Automatically scale down huge phone photos (often 4000px+) to a sensible maximum, keeping web quality while cutting file size. * **Convert to WebP.** Create a lighter WebP copy of every new upload and serve it automatically to browsers that support it — with the original kept as a fallback. ShinPix detects whether your server can produce WebP and disables the feature gracefully if it cannot. * **Compress on upload.** Set the quality used for the images WordPress generates, so every size is leaner. * **Optimize your existing library.** Scan what is already in your Media Library and convert it to WebP in the background, batch by batch, with a progress bar you can pause and resume. Optimize or re-optimize a single image right from the Media Library, and retry anything that failed. ShinPix is built for the real world of budget shared hosting. It is lightweight, adds no front-end overhead, and only changes what happens at upload time. **Coming soon (and on the roadmap):** * AVIF conversion (Pro) * Scheduled, fully automatic background processing (Pro) * Offload to S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi and other object storage to remove image files from your server entirely ShinPix is part of the **ShinKit** family of WordPress tools. ## Installation 1. Upload the `shinpix` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Settings ShinPix and choose your image sizes. Changes apply to new uploads. Existing images are not modified. ## FAQ ### Does this delete my existing images? No. ShinPix never deletes or overwrites an original. New uploads are optimized automatically, and you can optimize images already in your library from the ShinPix settings or the Media Library — the WebP copies are created alongside the originals. ### Will disabling sizes break my theme? It can if your theme relies on a specific size. The “thumbnail” size is also used in the WordPress admin. Disable sizes you are confident you do not use, and test your site afterwards. ### What does scaling oversized uploads do? WordPress already scales very large uploads (default 2560px). ShinPix lets you set a smaller limit so big photos are stored at a more web-friendly size. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ShinPix – Image Optimizer & Size Control” is open source software.
