Every product image, perfectly uniform

Yes. Australcode Uniform Images handles both uniformization (which they don't do) and format conversion to AVIF + WebP (which they do, but with cloud dependencies and quotas). If you have one of those installed, disable it before activating the plugin. Migrating from Smart Image Resize? Run wp acimg migrate-from-sir to import your settings — free, one command.

Yes. A dedicated output buffer rewriter (free tier) intercepts the page-builder's rendered HTML and replaces <img> tags with <picture> elements. Tested with Bricks 2.x, Elementor 3.x, Oxygen 4.x, Beaver Builder and Divi.

Only if you explicitly enable "Apply trim to original". When enabled, the plugin creates a pristine backup before any modification, and wp acimg restore-originals reverts at any time. Default behaviour: originals untouched, derivatives generated separately.

The free version is the full uniformization pipeline. No image cap, no daily quota, no nag screens. Pro adds scale features (CDN delivery, Catalog Watch, multi-site, full WP-CLI), not the core promise. We sell to people who need scale, not to people who hit a deliberate limit.

Yes. The Dashboard flags images that get heavily padded — tall or panoramic shots squared onto the canvas with 40%+ empty space — and a gentle, dismissible notice points it out without forcing a change. That detection is free. The fix is the per-aspect-ratio override (Pro): process 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, vertical and horizontal differently within the same WordPress size, so square photos stay proportional while the rest follow your base mode.

The plugin detects Polish on activation via a probe request and shows an admin warning, because Polish re-encodes the AVIF/WebP it has already generated optimally. Disable Polish for wp-content or accept the double-encoding cost.

Four presets — Maximum, High, Standard, Economy — each setting calibrated per-format quality for AVIF, WebP and JPEG independently. Standard (the default) lands at roughly half the size of the original while staying visually identical for product photography; Economy pushes compression further for bandwidth-sensitive catalogues. Available in the free version.

No. 100% local processing. The optional Cloudflare CDN integration uses your Cloudflare zone, not ours.

PHP 8.2+, WordPress 6.5+. Imagick 3.4.4+ is preferred for AVIF support; GD is a supported fallback for sites where Imagick isn't installed.

It is Bring Your Own Key: you paste your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, and the plugin generates alt text per image via OpenAI Vision (gpt-4o-mini) or Anthropic Vision (claude-haiku-4-5), enriched with the WooCommerce product title, category and brand. We are not a Merchant of Record over AI costs — you pay your provider directly at their rates, which are fractions of a cent per image. Pro feature.

Yes, on the Agency plan. The Multi-Site Manager is a central dashboard inside one wp-admin that monitors up to 25 client sites (unlimited on the top Agency pricing) — aggregated derivatives, bytes and issues, with automatic hourly sync. It talks wp-admin to wp-admin over native REST using a Bring Your Own Application Password, so no images or data pass through any external service.

Yes. Compatibility with custom_order_tables and cart_checkout_blocks is declared from day one. No manual configuration required.

Originals are untouched. Derivatives can be left in place (no harm) or cleaned via wp acimg purge-cache --all before uninstall.

14-day unconditional money-back guarantee, processed by Freemius — our Merchant of Record. Licenses renew annually (or buy lifetime once); if a license lapses the plugin keeps working, you just stop receiving updates.
