Codcy Image Optimizer converts JPEG and PNG files to WebP directly on your server — no external API, no subscription, automatic backup.
Uses PHP's built-in Imagick or GD library. Your images never leave your server.
Originals are copied to codcy-image-backup/ before any conversion.
Processes images in batches of 20 to avoid server timeouts. Resumes automatically if interrupted.
See exactly how many images were converted, space saved, average compression rate, and any errors.
If a WebP conversion would result in a larger file, the original is kept untouched.
Fully free and open source. Install, activate, and start optimizing immediately.
The plugin scans all images and shows a full breakdown — total count, file size, and format distribution — before making any changes.
Nothing happens until you click Start. Original files are backed up automatically before conversion begins.
When complete, a detailed summary shows converted count, total space saved, average compression rate, and a list of any errors.
Free to install. Works with any WordPress site running PHP 7.4 or higher.
