FAQ

My images are over 15MB now, will this still work

Yes, we compress up-to 20MB original image sizes. We do however recommend resizing the images first. a 4000px image when compressed is still 4000px, so by resizing you immediately start off at the correst size, which can in some cases be 500% smaller

Version 1.6.26, all images broken. Had to deactivate the plugin. //Edit: Author answered and presented a work around (disabling the lazyload)

Free but not really

argosmedia January 24, 2018 3 replies

It’s kinda misleading to say that this is free software. Sure, the plugin is free but compressing images is not. Only the first 1000 are free, which sounds like alot, but is really peanuts as all thumbs and other versions (can be dozens per image) count towards the total. After that you have to buy credits, that are way more expensive than competitors.

Great Plugin

Thumbs to this plugin this plugin is so good and easy to use that even a novice can use this plugin we also wrote a review of this plugin

Huge time and resources saver!

Verdi Heinz May 8, 2017

I love the fact that I can even upload a huge image (from Unsplash for example) and have the plugin resize AND compress. Update: Even at “best quality” setting, it still manages to beat TinyPNG. This really saves me A LOT of time, I no longer have to put all my images for each project through the TinyPNG webservice anymore. Thank you for creating this awesome plugin!

Easy to use

This plugin saved me 40Mb by compressing over 1000 images, very quick and easy to use on a large number of images.
