FAQ
Will compression reduce image quality?
Default settings use smart lossy compression. Quality loss is imperceptible to the human eye while saving 30-70% file size.
Does WebP conversion affect originals?
No. Original files are kept. WebP versions are stored alongside and can be removed anytime.
Can I bulk optimize existing images?
Yes. Use the Bulk Optimize tool to compress and convert all existing media library images.
Does it work with page builders?
Yes. MediaPress optimizes images at the WordPress level, so it works with any theme or page builder.
