Excellent; not all free; higher compression no. means higher quality

    Yes, this seems excellent as I start using it, for converting files to webp and avif formats.

    As often with plugins, it’s “free” for basic functionality – which indeed does a lot that’s splendid.
    But for more, like differing levels of compression for different image file types, there are paid options.

    One thing I found odd/confusing was info saying that “Higher values apply stronger compression across all image sizes and reduce quality more noticeably.”; I was sceptical of this.
    Indeed, in document on Image Quality Presets it seems that higher values mean better compression, less quality reduction.

    Hello @docmartinhk

    Many thanks for leaving this 5 star review to motivate us! It is great to hear that you are finding CompressX useful.

    In the context of Image Quality Presets, the logic follows the standard JPEG/WebP Quality Scale where a higher value represents higher quality. This means less compression is applied, resulting in a clearer image but a larger file size. So you are correct that the current description is a mismatch.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are going to correct it in our upcoming version.

    All the best,

    Thanks John; I read and re-read this about compression quality, plus found that documentation page!
