WP Image Compress To WebP
WordPress plugin that automatically converts newly uploaded JPG, JPEG, and PNG images into WebP format at quality 80, then removes the original source files.
Overview
This plugin hooks into the WordPress media upload pipeline and:
- Converts original uploaded images to WebP
- Converts generated intermediate sizes (thumbnails, medium, large, etc.) to WebP
- Deletes the original non-WebP files after successful conversion
- Updates attachment metadata so generated sizes point to WebP files
It also includes a lightweight admin dashboard for local license key management.
Features
- Automatic conversion of newly uploaded jpg, jpeg, and png files
- WebP quality fixed at 80 (current implementation)
- Original and intermediate files are removed only after successful WebP generation
- Uses Imagick when available, with fallback to GD (imagewebp)
- Admin page under WebP Compress for license activation/deactivation
- Dashboard button to convert existing JPEG/PNG media to WebP with progress
- Dashboard button to regenerate thumbnails for all image attachments with progress
- Nonce-protected license form handling and capability checks (manageoptions)
