Imagify is the simplest image optimization plugin for WordPress to optimize images, so your website loads faster and images stay lighter. It’s designed for site owners who want quick and effective results with a very easy setup.
With Imagify, you can resize and compress images and convert them to WebP and AVIF directly from your WordPress dashboard, with up to 20MB of images optimized each month for free. Image optimization takes just one click and does not require technical knowledge.
Whether you are uploading new images or optimizing an existing media library, Imagify makes image optimization simple, reliable, and easy to manage.
What sets Imagify apart:
WebP and AVIF conversion included in the free plan, so you can use next-gen image formats right away.
Easy to use, with no advanced configuration to learn.
Smart image compression that does the job for you and reduces file size while preserving image quality.
Bulk image optimization that runs in the background.
Watch the video and see for yourself why Imagify is the easiest image optimizer to make your images lighter and save time:
Smart Compression (Does the job for you) – Automatically balances image quality and performance. You don’t need to tweak settings. Imagify optimizes every image for the best compression rate while preserving visual quality, so you save time and get consistent results without having to choose any settings.
Lossless Compression (Optional) – Prefer pixel-perfect quality? Choose lossless compression. This option is ideal for photographers and quality-focused websites.
Next-Gen Formats: WebP and AVIF (In one click) – Convert your images to WebP for wide compatibility or AVIF for superior compression in one click. This helps improve your Google PageSpeed performance score and Core Web Vitals grades.
Resize Large Images Automatically – Resize oversized images to a maximum width of up to 2560 pixels on upload or during optimization. This can reduce file size by up to 80 percent while keeping images optimized on all devices.
Asynchronous Bulk Optimization – Optimize your entire Media Library in the background without slowing down your site. Bulk optimization runs asynchronously, so you can keep working while Imagify handles the image optimization process for you.
On-the-Fly Image Resizing – Resize images directly from the app or within WordPress. This makes it easy to optimize images at the ideal size right away.
Original Image Backup – Keep your original images stored in a separate folder before the optimization process. This makes it easy to restore them at any time.
Flexible File and Size Optimization – Choose which WordPress image sizes you want to optimize, including thumbnail, medium, large, 1536 px, and 2048 px. This helps you optimize only what you actually use and manage your monthly quota more efficiently.
Auto-Optimize on Upload – New images are optimized automatically as soon as you upload them to WordPress. No manual steps and no forgotten images.
✨ In short, you have everything you need to optimize images at scale while keeping quality high and your setup simple.
Imagify is an image optimizer built by the same team behind WP Rocket and focuses on delivering the best performance while saving you time, whether you are new to image optimization or managing a large number of images across multiple websites.
Imagify helps you optimize images, convert them to WebP and AVIF, and easily improve performance, including PageSpeed scores and Core Web Vitals. You’ll make your images load quicker without spending time adjusting settings.
Imagify helps you optimize images by reducing their file size without losing image quality. Your pages load faster, without changing how your images look to your visitors.
You can compress and resize images as they are uploaded, or optimize existing images in your media library. Imagify supports common image formats, including PDFs.
If images are too large, you can set a maximum width. Oversized images are automatically resized during optimization, proportionally and without cropping.
The part you’ll love the most: Imagify uses Smart Compression to automatically choose the best balance between image quality and file size, so you get lighter images without visible quality loss or having to tweak settings yourself.
If you have many images, bulk optimization lets you optimize them all at once. The process runs in the background, so you can keep working while Imagify optimizes images for you. Original images are always preserved and can be restored at any time.
In addition to resizing and compressing, with Imagify you can convert images to WebP and AVIF without upgrading, as next-gen image conversion is included in all plans, including the free one.)
You can choose whether to generate WebP images, AVIF images, or both from the Imagify settings. Once enabled, Imagify creates next-gen versions of your images.
To serve these image formats on your site, you simply enable the option to display images in WebP and AVIF. Imagify then delivers the best format supported by each visitor’s browser.
Image fallback is handled automatically. If a browser does not support WebP or AVIF, the optimized JPG or PNG version is served instead, ensuring full compatibility.
Imagify supports next-gen conversion for all common image formats, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
For instance, you can convert GIF to WebP, JPEG and JPG to WebP, and even PNGto WebP. The same goes for AVIF: you can convert GIF to AVIF, JPEG and JPG to AVIF, PNG to AVIF.
Heavy images are one of the most common reasons pages load slowly. When images are too large or not served in modern formats, they drag down performance and user experience.
Imagify helps you fix this at the source by compressing images and converting them to the next-gen formats mentioned above, so pages load faster and feel smoother to visitors. Such image optimization tasks help your site meet Google’s performance recommendations, fix PageSpeed Insights audits such as “Serve images in next-gen formats”” and ““Efficiently encode images”, and improve key metrics like Core Web Vitals.
With lighter images across your site, you get faster load times and better performance where it matters most and, piece on the cake, without having to fine-tune performance settings yourself!

Imagify is an extremely powerful image optimizer: our advanced compressing algorithm will compress images, reduce their weight without sacrificing their quality.
Imagify is also super easy to use. Thanks to its intuitive design, you can easily get familiar with the interface and services without thinking about it.
And our dedicated customer support will help you fix any issue with your image optimizing process. Support is available via contact form, either on our website, or directly on your Imagify plugin settings page.
You can use Imagify on as many websites as you wish. Your image optimization quota to compress images will be shared evenly across all of the websites.
If you need more control over how your Imagify subscription is used, you should create sub-accounts to allocate a quota for each.
Imagify will deliver images in the original format for browsers that don’t support the next-gen WebP format automatically, so there is nothing further to be done.
Yes, Imagify is fully compatible with NextGEN Gallery, the most popular photo gallery plugin for WordPress. All Imagify optimization features related to NextGEN Gallery images are located and usable within the NextGEN Gallery menus and pages. So when you add images to your NextGEN galleries, you’ll be able to optimize them as well.
Imagify can optimize JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF files and GIFs (whether animated or not).
When you optimize JPG, PNG, and GIF files, Imagify will also create WebP and AVIF versions of your original images and all your thumbnail sizes (if you have this option enabled).
Don’t worry! Imagify comes with the Smart Compression Mode. It means that your images will be automatically optimized for the best possible compression ratio and quality. There’s nothing else to do – just enjoy your lighter and faster images.
The image optimization process is performed on our servers. Once done, Imagify returns the optimized image to your server. We do not edit images’ titles or any other information, so there is nothing further to be done on your end than to compress images. Your original images will be moved to a dedicated backup folder (just make sure to keep the Backup option active in Imagify settings).
With Imagify v2.2, the creation of WebP images is enabled by default. This means that when Imagify optimizes your images using its built-in WebP optimizer, a WebP version will automatically be generated, provided you have disabled the “Create AVIF versions of images” option in your plugin settings. Although the WebP files won’t be directly visible in your Media Library, you can verify their creation by checking for the “Next-Gen generated: yes” indication in the Imagify column of your Media Library.
Once your images have been optimized via the WP plugin, the compressed images stay on your end forever (even if you delete the Imagify account).
During the optimization process, compressed images sent via the API or WordPress plugin are stored for one hour on our server (they are already sent back to your site and stay there safely).
Using the online application, compressed images are stored for 24 hours (with a free account) and for unlimited time if you have a paid subscription.
Yes, as long as the Backup option is active in Imagify settings (it is active by default when you activate the WP Plugin).
Yes, your images will stay compressed even after removing Imagify (and even after you delete your Imagify account).
