    Hi dev,

    On Settings, please consider changing:

    • “Force all images to be re-processed.” to
      “Force all images to be re-processed. Needed in case of newly generated thumbnail sizes.”
    • “Some themes may generate new thumbnail sizes sometimes, then you’ll need to reprocess the thumbnails sizes using the Bulk Processing function.” to
      “Some themes /plugins may generate new thumbnail sizes sometimes, then you’ll need to reprocess the thumbnails sizes using the Bulk Processing function enabling Force all images to be re-processed.”

    A bit unrelated request:
    Currently, only PNG and JPG are converted to AVIF. Can you allow existing and uploaded WebP to be converted to AVIF as well (by default or as an option)?

    Hello @masvil

    We are going to implement the improvements in a future release. Thanks for the suggesting them.

    Uploaded WebP is actually already covered. If the original image is WebP, CompressX will create a copy of it and save it in /wp-content/compressx-nextgen.

    So when you choose WebP as output format, it will be compressed. And when you choose AVIF as output format, it will be converted to AVIF and compressed. See this screenshot,

    All the best,

    Thank you for the explanation. Sorry for the inaccuracy of my original request, I didn’t realize it already worked on upload. I thought the non-conversion from WebP to AVIF was consistent (even on upload). In reality, I only verified that it doesn’t work on bulk processing.

    So you still have to implement the conversion from WebP to AVIF on Bulk Processing, correct?

    Hello @masvil ,

    During bulk processing, the original WebP images are converted to the AVIF format if you enable the ‘Output Formats’ option for AVIF.

    If you’ve confirmed that WebP to AVIF conversion doesn’t work during bulk processing, please include a WebP image in your bulk processing job. Then, send us the debug information from the CompressX plugin’s System Information page to our support email. We will investigate the issue further.

    Kind regards.

    Hello there,

    I fixed by switching from GD to Imagick.

    Thanks for your support!
