Image Format Converter allows administrators to convert images in the WordPress Media Library between JPG\/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF formats. Using server-side PHP libraries (GD or Imagick), it ensures high-quality conversions with minimal file size. Converted images are saved to the uploads folder and optionally added to the Media Library.<\/p>\n\n

Features:<\/strong>\n- Select images via the WordPress media uploader.\n- Choose target format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF).\n- Configure quality\/compression and Media Library integration via a \"Conversion Settings\" button (admin-only).\n- View server library status (GD\/Imagick\/WebP\/AVIF) with a \"How to Enable GD and Imagick\" button for setup instructions.\n- Modern, clean interface inspired by professional design standards (e.g., TinyJPG-like cards and buttons).\n- Secure, efficient, and admin-only (no frontend features).<\/p>\n\n

Access all features on Media > Image Converter<\/strong>, with collapsible settings and instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the image-format-converter<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Navigate to Media > Image Converter<\/strong> to convert images, adjust settings, or view GD\/Imagick instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Where do converted images appear?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Converted images are saved in your uploads folder (e.g., wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/<\/code>) with \"_converted\" appended (e.g., image_converted.png<\/code>). If enabled (default), they appear in Media > Library<\/strong>. The success notice shows \"Image convert complete\" with links to the file and Media Library entry.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Why don\u2019t I see the converted file?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Check the success\/error notice on Media > Image Converter<\/strong>. Ensure GD or Imagick is enabled (see library status). Verify the uploads folder is writable (755\/644 permissions). Check Media > Library<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What do I do if I see \"GD: Not Available | Imagick: Not Available\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Click the \"How to Enable GD and Imagick\" button for instructions. Summary:\n- Shared Hosting<\/strong>: Enable \"gd\" or \"imagick\" in cPanel\/Site Tools under PHP Extensions. Contact support if needed.\n- Local (XAMPP\/WAMP\/MAMP)<\/strong>: Edit php.ini<\/code> to uncomment extension=gd<\/code> or add extension=imagick<\/code> after installing ImageMagick.\n- VPS (Ubuntu\/CentOS)<\/strong>: Install php-gd<\/code> or php-imagick<\/code>, restart Apache.\n- Cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean)<\/strong>: Install extensions or contact support.\n- Verify<\/strong>: Use Tools > Site Health > Info > Server<\/strong> or create info.php<\/code> with <?php phpinfo(); ?><\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it support AVIF\/WebP?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes, if GD (PHP 8.1+ for AVIF, 7.1+ for WebP) or Imagick supports them. Check the library status on the conversion page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Why don\u2019t the toggle buttons work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
      \n
    • Open Developer Tools (F12 > Console) for errors like \"jQuery is not defined\".<\/li>\n
    • Ensure wp-content\/plugins\/image-format-converter\/admin\/js\/imgfmt-admin.js<\/code> exists (permissions 644).<\/li>\n
    • Deactivate other plugins and switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Five).<\/li>\n
    • Clear browser cache or test in incognito mode.<\/li>\n
    • Enable WP_DEBUG<\/code> in wp-config.php<\/code> and check wp-content\/debug.log<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    • Verify jQuery loads (F12 > Network > JS).<\/li>\n
    • In XAMPP, ensure Apache is running and file paths are correct.<\/li>\n
    • Contact support with console errors.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n

      Can I convert multiple images?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Currently supports single-image conversion. Bulk conversion is planned for future updates.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
