MiniFile for WordPress
Smaller images. Faster websites.
MiniFile Image Optimizer brings the same compression behind minifile.app directly into your WordPress media library. Instead of exporting images to a browser tool, it compresses them right on your server as part of your normal upload and media workflow.
What it does
- Automatically compresses every new upload, including every generated thumbnail size.
- A Bulk Optimize screen under Media that compresses everything already in your library.
- Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, and AVIF, with optional conversion between formats.
- PNG is always re-saved losslessly, regardless of the quality setting.
- Keeps a backup of every original before it touches it, with one-click restore if you ever want the untouched file back.
