Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Image Compressor WebP by htmlrunner

No. Every conversion happens entirely on your own hosting server using PHP GD or Imagick. Your images are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with us or any external service.

No. Before each conversion the current file is copied into a hidden backup folder and recorded as a version. You can restore any version from the History panel at any time. Old backups can be purged manually, or automatically after a retention period you set in Settings.

Enable "Daily scheduled scan" in Settings and choose a time (default 03:00). WP-Cron then scans the media library daily and optimizes pending images in batches — the batch size is configurable. If the library is large, follow-up runs are scheduled automatically until everything is optimized. A scan log shows the last run result.

Yes. Every image can be converted to WebP, JPG or PNG with its own quality. The format and quality defaults are set globally in Settings, and every image can override them individually.

The plugin requires either the PHP GD extension (with WebP support) or Imagick. Both are standard on nearly all shared hosting environments. If neither is available, the plugin displays a clear error message instead of converting.

No. To reclaim disk space the plugin unlinks the original file from the live uploads folder after snapshotting it into the protected backup folder, and rewrites old URLs in your content to point to the new file. Restoring a version brings the file back and reverses the URL changes.
