We strongly recommend following this workflow:
Dashboard principal con configuración de calidad, retención y estadísticas en tiempo real
WebP Converter automatically checks your server on activation:
If any check fails, the plugin will show a notice with instructions to fix it.
Every time you upload a JPG, PNG, or GIF to your Media Library, WebP Converter automatically creates a WebP version. Your site serves WebP to compatible browsers while maintaining fallback to original formats for older browsers.
Control the balance between file size and image quality:
Available in all paid plans (credit packs and subscriptions):
Images larger than your settings will be automatically resized before conversion, saving even more space. You can also resize existing WebP files in batch mode.
Convert your existing Media Library images:
