## Description
**Image Compressor WebP by htmlrunner** converts JPEG and PNG images in your media
library to WebP format, reducing file sizes without any visible quality loss.
### Your Images Never Leave Your Server
This plugin works entirely within your own hosting environment. No image data is
ever transmitted to our servers or any third-party service. Every conversion runs
through your server’s native PHP GD or Imagick library — the same tools already
installed on virtually every hosting plan.
This means:
* **Complete data privacy** — your images stay on your infrastructure, period.
* **No API keys or accounts** — there is nothing to sign up for.
* **No subscription fees** — no usage limits tied to external credits.
* **Works offline** — no outbound connection is required for processing.
### What It Does
* Converts JPEG and PNG images to WebP format directly on your server.
* Supports bulk conversion — process your entire media library in one go, or select
specific images.
* Adjustable compression quality via a dedicated settings page, so you control
the size-to-quality trade-off.
* Replaces original files with the WebP version to reclaim disk space.
* No configuration beyond activation is required to get started.
### Who Made This

## Installation
1. Upload the `wp-media-to-webp` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in your WordPress dashboard.
3. Go to the **Webp Converter** menu in your dashboard sidebar.
4. Select the images you want to convert and click “Convert”.
No additional setup is required. The plugin uses your server’s existing PHP environment.
## FAQ
### Are my images sent to your servers?
No. Every conversion happens entirely on your own hosting server using PHP’s built-
in GD or Imagick library. Your images are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared
with us or any external service.
### Is there a subscription or usage fee?
No. Because all processing is local, there are no external API calls and no usage
credits to purchase. The plugin is free to use without limits.
### Does it delete the original images?
Yes. To keep your disk usage low, the plugin replaces each original JPEG or PNG
with its WebP version. If you want to keep originals, back them up before running
a conversion.
### What happens if my server does not have GD or Imagick?
The plugin requires either the PHP GD extension or Imagick to function. Both are
standard on nearly all shared hosting environments. If neither is available, the
plugin will display a notice in the dashboard.
