Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Pixellize Image Optimizer

JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and AVIF. GIF is not supported.

Yes. Go to Tools, Pixellize Image Optimizer, and use "Bulk optimize existing images". It builds a WebP version for every image that was in your library before the plugin, including all generated sizes. Originals are kept, so nothing breaks, and the run continues in the background even if you close the tab.

By default yes. The upload is replaced by a single WebP and the original is deleted after a successful conversion to save storage. Turn on "Keep original image" to keep the original in your Media Library with a WebP copy alongside it, which also enables restoring an image to its original.

Use the "Restore original" link on a single image in the Media Library. It points the attachment back at the original and removes the WebP copies. This works while the original is still on disk (Keep Original turned on).

The plugin automatically uses Imagick as a fallback. If neither is available, activation will be blocked with an admin notice.

Yes, you can set quality from 0 to 100. Default is 85.
