About Compress Images for WordPress
By default WordPress scales down uploaded images larger than 2560 pixels and creates several smaller copies. Sending images that are already at most 2560 px and well compressed keeps the original small too. The preset keeps your file format.
- Files stay on your device – nothing is uploaded
- Free, with no sign-up and no watermark
- Works on several images at once where the tool allows it
Frequently asked questions
Why 2560 pixels?
WordPress scales larger uploads down to 2560 pixels by default, so bigger images only waste space.
Should I still use a plugin?
Plugins can help, but starting with smaller files makes everything faster.
Can I switch to WebP?
Yes. Choose WebP as the format; recent WordPress versions accept WebP uploads.
