You can convert images, compress originals, optimize supported next-gen images, process the Media Library or server folders in bulk, and deliver the best available format automatically on the front end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your goal is to convert JPEG to WebP, convert PNG to WebP, generate AVIF versions for better performance, optimize existing WebP and AVIF assets, or use smart compression instead of fixed local compression, MegaOptim 2.0 is designed around that workflow. Next-gen format generation is a major focus of this release, but 2.0 is not limited to conversion only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Why Use MegaOptim?\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Optimize supported JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF images\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Convert JPEG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP and AVIF\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Bulk process the WordPress Media Library\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Browse and process folders outside the Media Library\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Use fixed local compression or smart MegaOptim Cloud compression\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Automatically convert or compress newly uploaded images\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Serve WebP and AVIF with Apache \u003Ccode>.htaccess\u003C\u002Fcode> or PHP passthru\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Track background jobs with a built-in queue monitor\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Restore compressed originals from backup or remove generated next-gen files\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Optionally process retina images generated by WP Retina 2x \u002F Perfect Images\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Use WP-CLI for bulk conversion, stats, reset, logs, and queue tools\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch4>Conversion-First Workflow\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>MegaOptim 2.0 keeps your original uploads in place and generates next-gen derivatives alongside them. That means you can convert older JPG, PNG, and GIF images to WebP or AVIF without replacing the original source file. On the front end, MegaOptim can serve the best format supported by the visitor’s browser while keeping the original file available as a fallback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Local vs Cloud Processing\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>MegaOptim works without an API key. If your server has GD or Imagick support, you can do local processing for WebP conversion, local AVIF generation when your server supports it, and basic local compression for JPEG and PNG images. Local compression is useful when you want a simple, fixed local workflow on your own server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you add a MegaOptim API key, MegaOptim Cloud can offload processing from your server and is the recommended option for smart compression, original-format compression, direct WebP and AVIF optimization, and broader AVIF workflows. This is the better path when you want smarter results than fixed local compression.
