Broodweb Image Converter converts existing WordPress media library images to the WebP format without sending files to any external service. It is built for site owners who want a focused, local-server conversion tool with bulk conversion, single-image conversion, upload-time conversion, and explicit control over whether originals are replaced or preserved.

Privacy

This plugin processes images entirely on your own server. It does not send image files or site data to external services, and it does not make outbound HTTP requests.
