Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Picqlo Image Converter
Picqlo is a free image optimizer — every feature is included at no cost, with no subscription and no monthly image limits. Local AVIF and WebP conversion and lossless image compression are unlimited and completely free. The only optional paid feature is Cloud API credits, used only when your server cannot encode AVIF locally (common on older shared hosting). Credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire.
By default, yes — AVIF and WebP conversion never touches your originals; companion files are created alongside them (e.g. photo.jpg → photo.avif / photo.webp) and deleted on revert. The exception is the Lossless Optimize feature, which rewrites originals in place to reduce file size. Before doing so it creates a .lossless-bak backup, and reverting restores from that backup.
Yes. WebP works on any host that runs PHP and WordPress. AVIF requires a modern ImageMagick (v7+) or GD with libavif — available on most managed hosts. If AVIF isn't available locally, the Cloud API provides guaranteed AVIF on any host (requires credits from picqlo.com).
Yes. If those tools are installed on your server (e.g. via your host's package manager), Picqlo detects and uses them automatically. The plugin does not download or install binaries itself.
No. Your original files stay untouched. AVIF and WebP companion files are generated alongside them, and WordPress serves the best format each browser supports via a <picture> tag filter. Your original URLs remain identical and all posts and pages continue to work without any edits.
Nothing breaks. AVIF and WebP companion files stay on disk, and deactivation removes the delivery rules (the <picture> tag filter and the uploads .htaccess rewrite rules), so WordPress falls back to serving your original JPEG/PNG files normally. Re-activate the plugin to resume serving AVIF/WebP. If you used Lossless Optimize, note that it rewrites originals in place (see above) — deactivating the plugin does not revert that; use the Lossless revert option first if you want your original bytes back. To remove the AVIF/WebP companion files entirely, use Revert before deactivating.
JPEG and PNG files only. GIF, SVG, AVIF, WebP, and other formats are skipped automatically. Native AVIF or WebP files uploaded directly to the media library will not appear in the Images tab — they are already in a modern format and do not need conversion.
The plugin keeps the original in this case and marks the image as skipped (shown as "Larger ⚠" in the log). If a cloud-converted file is larger than the original it is also discarded and the credit is automatically refunded.
Yes. The Images tab shows your full library with filtering, sorting, and per-image actions. You can convert, reconvert, or revert individual images.
No. Credits never expire and remain on your API key until used or the key is revoked.
