Automatically convert uploaded images to AVIF/WebP locally using PHP. No external APIs, no limits, 100% privacy-friendly.

== Description ==

Improve your Core Web Vitals and reduce server bandwidth without sending your users' images to third-party servers. 

**LiteLocal AVIF WebP Optimizer** uses your server's built-in PHP Imagick or GD library to convert JPEGs and PNGs into next-gen formats instantly upon upload.

* **Automatic Conversion:** Converts new uploads to AVIF (with WebP fallback) instantly.
* **Smart Frontend Delivery:** Native HTML5 `<picture>` tag fallback and `srcset` support for maximum browser compatibility.
* **Bulk & Single Optimization:** Free tools to optimize your entire media library or individual images via List, Edit, and Grid views.
* **Restore Original:** One-click revert button across all media views, safely handling thumbnails.
* **Advanced Controls:** Custom quality sliders, max dimension resizing, max file size limits, and image exclusions.
* **Privacy & Storage:** EXIF stripping, optional original deletion, and 100% local processing.
* **Developer Tools:** Built-in debug logging and dashboard space-saved statistics.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does this work on all hosting? =
Your host must have either the PHP `Imagick` extension enabled or PHP 8.1+ with GD `imageavif`/`imagewebp` support.

= Will this break my existing images? =
No. The plugin keeps the original image by default. You can use the "Restore Original" button at any time.

== Privacy ==
This plugin does not collect, store, or share any personal data. All image processing happens entirely on your own server. No images or data are ever sent to external third-party servers or APIs.
