Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Infovarious Picture Converter generates modern AVIF and WebP versions of your JPEG, PNG and GIF images and shows them to browsers that support them. Browsers that do not support these formats keep receiving your original image.

Features

  • Bulk conversion by upload month, processed in small batches so it works on shared hosting.
  • Optional automatic conversion of new uploads (all image sizes). It is off by default because conversion takes extra time during upload.
  • Resized versions (thumbnail, medium, large and so on) are converted too, and responsive images keep their srcset and sizes.
  • Original files are never changed or deleted. Converted files are saved next to the originals (for example photo.jpg and photo.webp / photo.avif ).
  • Images are only wrapped in <picture> when a converted file really exists, so a missing copy never causes a broken image.
  • Works for post content, featured images and (optionally) the thumbnails of the WordPress Popular Posts widget.
  • Lazy-loading friendly: data-src attributes and base64 placeholders are handled.
  • Skips backup and intermediate files created by other plugins (for example Smush and UpdraftPlus). The list can be changed with the spcv_skip_patterns filter.
  • Shows whether your server can create WebP and AVIF files.

Requirements

Conversion uses the image library that WordPress already uses (GD or Imagick). WebP and AVIF support depends on your server. The settings screen shows what is available.

5 or later and a library built with AVIF support.

Privacy

This plugin does not collect data and does not contact any external service.
