Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about OmniPixy Browser Image Compressor
JPEG, PNG and WebP are compressed. By default every upload is tried in its own format and in WebP, and the lightest one is kept (a PNG only gets lighter as WebP). You can also pick images in Media > OmniPixy and optimize or convert them; if the format changes, the URLs in your posts are updated. Animated GIFs and SVGs are never touched. HEIC and AVIF are not supported yet.
JPEG compression uses a configurable quality factor (80% by default) and only applies if the result is lighter than the original (or if forced EXIF strip is enabled). Lower quality means a smaller file and less detail.
PHP 8.3 or newer. PHP 8.2 reaches end of life on 31 December 2026. On 21 October 2026 the PHP project released fixes for two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, "php2shell") in PHP 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 and 8.5.12. PHP 8.1 and older receive no official releases; the PHP team published source backports for 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1, and some Linux distributions ship patched packages. If your site runs an unpatched version, update PHP or ask your host. This plugin cannot protect you from a vulnerability in PHP itself, because those flaws are reached before any plugin code runs.
Yes. WooCommerce uses the same WordPress media uploader, so it inherits this compression.
Yes. Originals are replaced and thumbnails regenerated; there is no undo. Make a backup first. Only the main image file is rewritten: when WordPress keeps an unscaled original (large images), that extra file is left untouched, except when the format changes (PNG to WebP), where the unscaled original is removed as well. The optional originals zip is built in browser memory (may fail on multi-GB libraries), is lost if you close the tab mid-way, and does not restore anything by itself. Images served from another domain (CDN) may fail to download. Processing is one image at a time.
