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.

WP PlugIndex currently records OmniPixy Browser Image Compressor version 0.4.7 as active, updated 11d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
OmniPixy Browser Image Compressor compresses images in the administrator’s browser right before uploading them to WordPress. Unlike other plugins, your image is not sent to a third-party cloud for processing: compression happens locally and only the optimized version reaches your server.
Features
Automatic compression, no extra steps: works when uploading images in the Media Library, the editor’s media modal and WooCommerce.
100% local processing in the browser: your original image is not sent to any external service.
Keeps the original format (JPEG/PNG) for maximum compatibility with themes and WooCommerce.
Never makes it heavier: if recompression doesn’t reduce size, the original file is kept.
Quality control (1-100) and minimum size to recompress.
Optional WebP conversion with automatic fallback to the original format.
Max width/height resizing before compressing.
Automatic EXIF orientation fix and optional forced EXIF/GPS strip.
Savings notice after each upload.
Toggle to enable/disable compression.
Reprocess library: recompress the images you already uploaded with the saved settings, one by one, with an optional zip of the originals.
Optimize or convert selected images: pick images from the Media Library and recompress them or change their format, updating the old URLs in your posts.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect data, create accounts or call any external server. All processing happens in the administrator’s browser.
