Frequently Asked Questions
Does this delete my original images?
By default, no. However, there is a checkbox in the settings "Delete Original Image" (Hapus JPG/PNG setelah convert ke WebP) if you wish to remove the originals to save space.
Is it compatible with PHP 8?
Yes, Simple Imagix is fully compatible with PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0+.
Does it work on Nginx/LiteSpeed?
Yes! Because Simple Imagix works at the application level (PHP) and replaces the file directly in the database, it works on all web servers (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, IIS, etc.) without needing any special configuration files or .htaccess editing.
