Built-in local optimization, bulk tools, backups and restore controls are available without a license key. Connecting the TinySharp API is optional and adds hosted processing plus account usage reporting from the TinySharp service. #### Main features * Media Library optimization controls * Bulk image optimization screen * Automatic optimization on upload when enabled * WebP conversion support * AVIF support when available in the server/API image environment * Backup Center with restore controls * Hosted API usage status when a TinySharp API key is connected * API Health screen for troubleshooting * Safe mode to avoid replacing files when the optimized version is larger #### Local tools and optional API access The WordPress.org plugin includes local optimization, bulk optimization, backups, restore controls and safe-mode settings without a license key. A TinySharp account and API key from https://tinysharp.com/ are optional and are used only when you choose to connect to the hosted TinySharp API service for server-side processing and account usage reporting. #### External service disclosure This plugin connects to the TinySharp API service at: https://tinysharp.com/wp-json/sio/v1 The plugin connects to this service when you configure an API key and then test the API connection, check API usage status, or choose hosted API processing for optimization. Data that may be sent to TinySharp: * Image files selected for optimization * Your configured TinySharp API key * Site URL * Plugin version * Requested output format and quality settings * Basic optimization metadata such as file size and savings Purpose of the connection: * Authenticate the WordPress site with the TinySharp account * Process selected images for compression or conversion * Return optimized image data * Track hosted API usage and connected site activity * Show API health information inside WordPress TinySharp service terms: https://tinysharp.com/terms-of-service/ TinySharp privacy policy: https://tinysharp.com/privacy-policy/ No image is sent to the TinySharp API until the site administrator configures an API key and explicitly starts an optimization action or enables automatic optimization. ### Privacy TinySharp Image Optimizer sends selected images and optimization metadata to the TinySharp API only when the API key is configured and API processing is requested. See the External service disclosure section for details.

A TinySharp account and API key are optional and are used only for the hosted TinySharp API service. The plugin settings include a link to the TinySharp dashboard for users who want hosted processing. ### Are images sent to an external server? Yes. Images selected for optimization may be sent to the TinySharp API for processing. This is disclosed in the External service disclosure section above. ### Can I restore original images? Yes, when backups are enabled and a backup record is available. Use TinySharp > Backup Center to restore or remove stored backups. ### Does the plugin optimize images automatically? Automatic optimization can be enabled from TinySharp > Settings. Keep backups and safe mode enabled when first testing this feature. ### What happens if the hosted API is unavailable? Built-in local optimization remains available. If you connect the hosted TinySharp API service, the plugin may show API usage or API health information returned by that service. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TinySharp Image Optimizer Connector” is open source software.
