 * I made the wrong choice when setting up and chose lossy compression mode. How
   can I restore it to the original state and optimize it to lossless?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestore-original%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Also, how can I convert the image format to Webp format without using your CDN?
   It would be best if I could do it at the same time.

 * Hi Jianping!
 * Restoring your images is an easy process luckily 🙂 You can just follow these
   instructions: [https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/can-i-restore-my-images-what-happens-with-the-originals/](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/can-i-restore-my-images-what-happens-with-the-originals/)
 * As for WebP, you just need to follow these steps: [https://kb.shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/how-to-serve-webp-files-using-spio/](https://kb.shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/how-to-serve-webp-files-using-spio/)

 * I have tried option 2 without using your CDN, and it did not change the original
   image.[https://prnt.sc/-Pfjd5QkbL9m](https://prnt.sc/-Pfjd5QkbL9m)
 * However, it is displayed like this on the picture details page, and the above
   format remains unchanged.[https://prnt.sc/Jncjm9CkDNNT](https://prnt.sc/Jncjm9CkDNNT)

 * What do you mean by “it did not change the original image”? Could you please 
   explain exactly what you see and what you expect to see?

 * Here there are two things you need to take into account:
    1. You will **not **see the WebP format on the backend. The WebP format is **only**
       displayed to your visitors.
    2. Sometimes, the WebP file is not created on purpose. Here you have why: [https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-is-my-image-not-converted-to-webp/](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-is-my-image-not-converted-to-webp/)

 * Does my screenshot show the converted format or the unconverted format?

 * Hi Jianping,
 * Your screenshot (JPG, 34 KB) shows the optimized JPG, not the original. You can
   also see that its size was reduced by 41.83% and that two WebP images were created,
   corresponding to one or more of the thumbnails and/or the full-size image. As
   for the question “Why weren’t more WebP images created?”, the answer is that 
   sometimes the WebP file is intentionally not generated. Details here: [https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-is-my-image-not-converted-to-webp/](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-is-my-image-not-converted-to-webp/)
 * I hope that helps!
