Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about JGWS Media Optimizer

Yes. Newly uploaded JPG and JPEG images are automatically converted to WebP.

The conversion takes place when a supported JPG or JPEG image is added to the WordPress Media Library.

The FREE version processes newly uploaded JPG and JPEG images. It does not perform a bulk conversion of images already stored in the Media Library.

By default, the original JPG/JPEG file is removed after a successful conversion. You can enable the option to keep the original file as a separate Media Library attachment. Note: The preserved JPG/JPEG may be a WordPress-processed image and may not have the original dimensions or full resolution.

No. JPG/JPEG to WebP conversion uses WordPress native image processing mechanisms and does not require an external image optimization service. The plugin does use Freemius for account, licensing and related plugin functionality. Usage tracking is optional and requires user consent.

The FREE version uses a fixed WebP quality of 85. JGWS Media Optimizer PRO allows you to configure WebP and AVIF quality from 1 to 100.

PNG conversion is available in JGWS Media Optimizer PRO.

AVIF conversion is available in JGWS Media Optimizer PRO.

Yes. The FREE version displays format labels for JPG, PNG and WebP files in the WordPress Media Library. The PRO version additionally provides format labels for JPG, WebP, PNG and AVIF files.

JGWS Media Optimizer can process supported images added to the WordPress Media Library through compatible image import mechanisms.
