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. **Features:** – Select images via the WordPress media uploader. – Choose target format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF). – Configure quality/compression and Media Library integration via a “Conversion Settings” button (admin-only). – View server library status (GD/Imagick/WebP/AVIF) with a “How to Enable GD and Imagick” button for setup instructions. – Modern, clean interface inspired by professional design standards( e.g., TinyJPG-like cards and buttons). – Secure, efficient, and admin-only (no frontend features). Access all features on **Media > Image Converter**, with collapsible settings and instructions. ## Screenshots * [[ * **Media > Image Converter** with modern conversion form, toggle buttons, and success notice. * [[ * **Media > Image Converter** with GD/Imagick instructions visible. * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `image-format-converter` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Media > Image Converter** to convert images, adjust settings, or view GD/Imagick instructions. ## FAQ ### Where do converted images appear? Converted images are saved in your uploads folder (e.g., `wp-content/uploads/2025/ 09/`) with “_converted” appended (e.g., `image_converted.png`). If enabled (default), they appear in **Media > Library**. The success notice shows “Image convert complete” with links to the file and Media Library entry. ### Why don’t I see the converted file? Check the success/error notice on **Media > Image Converter**. Ensure GD or Imagick is enabled (see library status). Verify the uploads folder is writable (755/644 permissions). Check **Media > Library**. ### What do I do if I see “GD: Not Available | Imagick: Not Available”? Click the “How to Enable GD and Imagick” button for instructions. Summary: – ** Shared Hosting**: Enable “gd” or “imagick” in cPanel/Site Tools under PHP Extensions. Contact support if needed. – **Local (XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP)**: Edit `php.ini` to uncomment` extension=gd` or add `extension=imagick` after installing ImageMagick. – **VPS ( Ubuntu/CentOS)**: Install `php-gd` or `php-imagick`, restart Apache. – **Cloud ( AWS, DigitalOcean)**: Install extensions or contact support. – **Verify**: Use ** Tools > Site Health > Info > Server** or create `info.php` with ``. ### Does it support AVIF/WebP? Yes, if GD (PHP 8.1+ for AVIF, 7.1+ for WebP) or Imagick supports them. Check the library status on the conversion page. ### Why don’t the toggle buttons work? * Open Developer Tools (F12 > Console) for errors like “jQuery is not defined”. * Ensure `wp-content/plugins/image-format-converter/admin/js/imgfmt-admin.js` exists( permissions 644). * Deactivate other plugins and switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Five). * Clear browser cache or test in incognito mode. * Enable `WP_DEBUG` in `wp-config.php` and check `wp-content/debug.log`. * Verify jQuery loads (F12 > Network > JS). * In XAMPP, ensure Apache is running and file paths are correct. * Contact support with console errors. ### Can I convert multiple images? Currently supports single-image conversion. Bulk conversion is planned for future updates. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Image Format Converter” is open source software.
