Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about M7tawa Local Image Optimizer with WebP & AVIF

The plugin accepts JPG/JPEG, standard PNG, BMP, and TIFF/TIF as conversion inputs when the server image library can read the format. WebP files are left as WebP, AVIF files are kept unchanged, and animated PNG (APNG) files are kept unchanged to preserve animation.

No. It processes newly uploaded images only. It does not scan or bulk-convert the existing Media Library.

No. Conversion is performed locally using the image capabilities available on the WordPress server, such as GD or Imagick. No image optimization API or SaaS account is used.

Yes. The settings include an option to keep the original source file after a successful WebP conversion.

You can set a minimum savings percentage. When the generated WebP does not meet that threshold, the generated WebP is discarded and the original image is kept.

AVIF files are detected and kept unchanged. This release does not reconvert AVIF images.

Animated PNG (APNG) files are detected and kept unchanged so their animation is not lost during optimization.

No. The plugin reads the legacy data and migrates it to the M7tawa-prefixed keys without deleting the old keys. The migration is designed to run only once after the legacy plugin is no longer active.
