## Beschreibung

WebPioneer is a compatibility-first WebP conversion workflow for WordPress sites
that want local processing, delivery safety, and clear operational visibility without
aggressive automation.

Instead of acting like a generic image optimization suite, WebPioneer focuses on
the WebP workflow that already exists inside your WordPress media library: upload-
time conversion, bulk conversion, folder-based filtering, media inspection, and 
explicit serving controls.

The plugin is designed for site owners and agencies that want to generate WebP locally,
inspect results, and roll out delivery changes conservatively.

Features:
 – Converts JPG, PNG, and non-animated GIF to WebP. – Skips animated GIF
safely. – Converts on upload and supports bulk conversion for existing media. – 
Safe default serving mode (generate only). – Optional Apache rewrite rules installation
via explicit admin action. – PHP-level WebP URL fallback in rewrite mode when `.
webp` exists and browser supports WebP. – Interactive media inspector with per-image
conversion actions. – Folder-based filtering and browsing inside the dashboard. –
Local audit log export (CSV) and clear actions. – Local processing only. The plugin
does not send images to an external optimization service.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin delete original images?

No. Original files stay unchanged.

### Does this plugin convert animated GIF?

No. Animated GIF files are skipped by default to avoid breaking animation.

### Does this plugin force rewrite rules automatically?

No. Apache rewrite rules are installed only when the admin explicitly clicks the
install button.

### Does this plugin send images or audit data to an external service?

No. Conversion runs locally on your WordPress server. Audit events are stored locally
for administrator visibility and do not include visitor IP addresses.

### 󠀁[Excellent plugin and very smooth WebP conversion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-and-very-smooth-webp-conversion/)󠁿

 [fastcrane](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fastcrane/) 22. April 2026

This plugin was exactly what we needed. It made the process of converting our website
images to WebP simple, fast, and smooth. It worked perfectly for both older images
already uploaded to the site and new images uploaded later. What we really appreciated
is that it also updated the image URLs properly, so everything continued working
without extra manual effort. The plugin is straightforward, efficient, and very 
user-friendly. If you want a practical plugin that helps solve image conversion 
issues without complexity, WebPioneer is an excellent choice.
