Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Tanupom In-Place Converter for WebP

No. This plugin is deliberately "in place": it converts the originals to WebP and deletes the old files. This keeps your library to a single set of files. Make a backup before running it.

Not from within the plugin. Restore from your backup if you need the originals back. This is why a backup is required before conversion.

Your Imagick build can't output WebP. Ask your host to enable WebP support in ImageMagick/Imagick, or use a server that provides it.

Yes, since 0.2.0. New uploads of JPEG, PNG, BMP, HEIC, and HEIF go through the wp_handle_upload filter and are written to disk as WebP, replacing the original. The same conversion settings (quality, lossless PNG, strip metadata) are used. If your server's Imagick build cannot output WebP, or HEIC/HEIF delegates are missing, the upload is passed through unchanged so nothing breaks.

After conversion, run Run reference replacement. It rewrites old image URLs to the new .webp URLs in post content and options, including serialized options, using a serialize-safe replacement.

The two conversion paths cover different formats: Automatic conversion on upload accepts JPEG, PNG, BMP, HEIC, and HEIF. BMP/HEIC/HEIF actually convert only when your server's Imagick has the corresponding delegate; otherwise the upload is passed through unchanged. On WordPress 7.1 this no longer applies to HEIC/HEIF: the browser decodes them before they reach the server, so they convert even without a HEIC delegate. Bulk conversion of the existing library is limited to JPEG and PNG. GIF (typically animated) and existing WebP files are always left untouched. Other MIME types are ignored.
