Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about VeloIMG – WebP & AVIF Image Optimizer

No. Original JPG and PNG files are not modified. VeloIMG writes derivative files into the uploads derivative storage.

It depends on the selected strategy. For example, with AVIF -> WebP -> original, the browser receives AVIF when possible, then WebP, then the original image.

PHP Safe delivery rewrites WordPress image markup into picture/source markup and lets the browser choose supported generated formats.

Apache/LiteSpeed delivery keeps HTML unchanged and uses rules in uploads/.htaccess to serve generated AVIF or WebP files according to the browser Accept header and the selected format strategy.

VeloIMG records a reason when generation fails or a derivative is intentionally not saved. Common reasons include missing encoder support, unreadable source files, invalid generated files, transparency loss during AVIF conversion, or a generated file being larger than the original.

Some server AVIF encoders can remove transparency. VeloIMG checks this case and does not save an AVIF file when transparency would be lost.

Yes. Bulk generation can be stopped and continued. Progress is stored so already processed files do not need to be processed again unless files are deleted or regenerated.

Yes. WebP and AVIF use separate generation flows, but running both at once can slow image processing. The generation screen explains this before starting the second format; the notice can be dismissed for the current generation.

Yes. When eligible unsuccessful files exist in the selected uploads or theme scope, a retry block appears below generation. Choose retry quality and, when both are available, Imagick or GD. This retry uses lossy compression, including PNG. Original images, successful WebP files, and the main generation settings are not changed. Missing or unreadable source images cannot be repaired by changing quality.

Only when you explicitly use the delete controls. Deleting derivatives does not delete original images.
