Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MegaOptim Image Optimizer – Optimize WebP & AVIF, Compress Images, Convert to WebP & AVIF
Yes — this is a main focus of MegaOptim 2.0. MegaOptim Cloud can take WebP and AVIF files you already have and reduce them further, in addition to working on JPG, PNG, and GIF.
Yes. The plugin is free with the local method. If your server has GD or Imagick, you can do WebP conversion (JPEG/PNG/GIF sources), local AVIF generation where supported, and JPEG/PNG compression at no cost. MegaOptim Cloud is needed for smarter compression, compressing GIF / WebP / AVIF files, and further optimization of existing WebP/AVIF files.
The cloud plan is about $54 per year and works on unlimited sites. It provides smarter compression, offloads work from your server, and unlocks further optimization of existing WebP and AVIF files.
Install and activate MegaOptim, open Media > MegaOptim, choose Convert mode, set the output format to WebP, and start a bulk job from the Media Library or File System view.
Yes. MegaOptim can generate AVIF images through MegaOptim Cloud, or locally where your server supports AVIF encoding. If your server does not support local AVIF encoding, use MegaOptim Cloud.
Yes. MegaOptim 2.0 can convert GIF images to next-gen formats as part of its conversion workflow, alongside JPG and PNG.
Yes. Use Compress mode to reduce file size while keeping the original format. Local compression handles JPEG and PNG, runs free on your server, and uses fixed quality levels. MegaOptim Cloud additionally compresses GIF, WebP, and AVIF — and applies Smart Compression (SSIM-tuned per image) for smaller files at visually identical quality.
Convert creates next-gen WebP or AVIF files alongside the original image. Compress optimizes the image in its existing format — including further compressing existing WebP and AVIF files — without changing the format.
Local compression is free and runs entirely on your own server. MegaOptim Cloud is the recommended option when you want smarter compression, further optimization of existing WebP and AVIF images, and less CPU and memory usage on your hosting. The cloud plan is $54 per year for unlimited sites.
Yes. You can enable automatic conversion or automatic compression for newly uploaded images. MegaOptim processes those jobs in the background so new uploads can be handled without manual bulk actions.
