QuickWebP Pro for Local WebP and AVIF Image Processing

Image formats and server requirements

QuickWebP Pro converts JPG and PNG uploads to WebP in the WordPress media library. On supported servers running PHP 8.1 or later, it can also create AVIF versions. Image processing runs locally, using the native WordPress image editor and the best available server backend without an external compression API.

Pro includes the capabilities in QuickWebP Free, plus AVIF conversion and stronger compression. AVIF documents can be smaller than JPG and PNG files and are typically smaller than WebP. Automatic fallback helps older browsers receive a compatible image format.

Controls in the media workflow

• Compression and resizing: Process images locally and set maximum width and height for oversized uploads.
• Filenames and metadata: Clean filenames and use them to pre-fill alt text, caption, description, legend, and title fields.
• Clipboard paste: Paste a picture into the WordPress media frame.
• Optimization preview: Review optimization information in the settings screen.
• Bulk optimization: Optimize older media when the original files have been preserved.

Upload and review

1. Install and activate QuickWebP Pro in WordPress.
2. Open its settings screen and configure image dimensions and optimization preferences.
3. Confirm the server runs PHP 8.1 or later if you need AVIF conversion.
4. Upload a JPG or PNG through the media library. QuickWebP processes the image locally and makes WebP output, with AVIF available on supported servers.
5. Review the generated formats and metadata. For older media, use bulk optimization when the original files are preserved.

For blogs, publishers, shops, and service websites that upload images regularly, these controls put conversion and resizing into the media workflow. Cleaner filenames and pre-filled metadata can also reduce repetitive work when editors prepare media entries.
