Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Imgzen Media Converter - WebP for CDN

No. Even without a CDN, it ensures uploaded images are always WebP without requiring clients or editors to optimize images before uploading.

Yes. Before using Imgzen on a production site, make sure you have a recent backup of your files and database. Depending on your settings, image conversion and cleanup features may modify or remove image files.

Yes. When original image deletion is enabled, JPEG/PNG files and their intermediate sizes are physically removed from the server. This operation is irreversible. Please ensure you have backups before enabling this option.

Permanent conversion avoids the complexity and storage overhead of keeping two parallel image formats for every upload. WordPress stores one attachment, the CDN caches one file, and the server no longer needs to keep unnecessary JPEG/PNG copies once WebP has been generated successfully. Modern browsers broadly support WebP, so for many production sites there is little practical benefit in retaining duplicate originals after conversion. The result is simpler delivery, smaller storage usage, and fewer moving parts.

Yes. The dashboard shows the total amount of server storage reclaimed through image optimization and cleanup, making it easy to see the value of the plugin over time.

The plugin skips conversion in the following cases to prevent performance issues or quality degradation:

Files still larger than 15MB after WordPress's standard upload processing Extremely large dimensions (over 6000px) Note: WordPress itself scales uploads larger than 2560px down to a "-scaled" copy, and the plugin converts that scaled image. The size and dimension guards are a second line of defense — in practice they mainly apply when the big image threshold has been disabled or customized.

No. Imgzen Media Converter only processes images at upload time. It does not perform bulk or retroactive conversions.

Imagick with WebP support is recommended. If unavailable, the plugin falls back to the standard GD library.
