What image formats are supported?

The plugin processes JPEG and PNG uploads and can create WebP and AVIF versions if your server supports them.

Will this replace my original images?

No, the original images are kept unchanged. The optimized versions are created as separate files.

What if my server doesn’t support WebP or AVIF?

The plugin will detect your server capabilities and only create formats that are supported. You can see the server capabilities in the plugin settings.
