Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin change my file URLs?

No. Smart ImageVault uses virtual folders (taxonomy-based). Your images stay in their original upload locations.

What image formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Compression works on JPEG, PNG, and WebP. WebP conversion supports JPEG and PNG sources.

Do I need ImageMagick?

No. The plugin works with PHP's GD Library (installed on most servers). ImageMagick is optional but provides better quality.

Can I restore compressed images?

Yes! When "Keep Original Images" is enabled in settings, originals are backed up and can be restored at any time.
