FlipWebP converts JPEG, PNG, and GIF images that are already in the Media Library to WebP. You can convert one image or a selection, and you can work through every image that is still waiting.
Conversion runs on your server with WordPress’s image editor (Imagick or GD). Files are not uploaded to FlipWebP or any other service.
An image is replaced only when the WebP version is meaningfully smaller. Animated GIF and animated WebP files are left unchanged. SVG files are never converted.
After a successful conversion, FlipWebP updates the attachment and rewrites stored addresses in posts, comments, and settings so existing content keeps pointing at the image. Addresses inside serialized objects are left unchanged rather than risk corrupting them.
