Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DropAvif Image Optimizer – Convert WebP & AVIF | Compress Images

The plugin uses transparent server-side rules (.htaccess for Apache/LiteSpeed or a configuration snippet for Nginx). The original image URL (e.g., image.jpg) remains in your HTML, but the server delivers the optimized image.jpg.avif or image.jpg.webp file to browsers that support it. This ensures 100% backward compatibility.

No. All image processing is offloaded to the DropAvif Cloud API. Your server only sends the original image and receives the optimized versions. This results in zero CPU load on your hosting environment.

No. The watermark is applied only to the optimized WebP and AVIF versions generated by the plugin. Your original JPEG/PNG source files remain untouched and clean. If you disable the plugin, the watermark disappears.

Your original images remain completely untouched. The plugin will simply stop serving the optimized WebP/AVIF versions, and your site will instantly revert to serving the original JPGs/PNGs.

No, the free version is fully functional for Local WebP conversion and all performance features (Lazy Load, Preload). The PRO account is required for cloud-based features like AVIF conversion, Smart Optimization, and Watermarking because they require significant processing power on our servers.

WordPress only stores metadata for items in the Media Library. DropAvif scans images from plugins, themes, and custom folders. The dedicated wp_media_optimizer_files index keeps a lightweight record for every discoverable file, allowing the plugin to check optimization status instantly without expensive filesystem scans.
