ImagePipe Lite

ImagePipe Lite generates resized WebP/JPEG/PNG versions of your WordPress
Media Library images on demand and caches them permanently. Free tier:
JPEG/PNG/WebP output and Fit/Cover resize only (no AVIF, no Crop/Contain/
Stretch, no watermarking, no pretty URLs — see ImagePipe Pro for those).

Features

• On-demand image route with a permanent disk cache — repeat requests are
  served straight from cache, never regenerated.
• [imagepipe] shortcode (same tag as ImagePipe Pro, so content keeps
  working unchanged after an upgrade), a PHP template helper for theme use, a
  native Elementor widget, and a native Gutenberg block (“ImagePipe” in
  the block inserter) — preset or manual sizing (including WordPress’s
  own registered image sizes: thumbnail/medium/large/custom), link,
  caption, blur-up placeholder, and responsive srcset (one width field
  per breakpoint — active Elementor breakpoints for the widget, a fixed
  Mobile/Tablet pair for the block).
• Automatic replacement: swaps the src of content images, the site logo,
  and featured images to an ImagePipe URL, in a single fixed format/mode
  (no per-browser negotiated <picture> element — that’s an ImagePipe Pro
  feature).
• WooCommerce product grids/galleries and cart/checkout images (Store API)
  are covered by the same automatic replacement.
• Admin dashboard with analytics (requests over time, cache-hit rate over
  time, served-format breakdown) and a 7/30/90-day/all-time period
  selector.
• Per-format quality settings, a journal of the last 20 generation events,
  and a one-click “Clear cache” button.
• Available in English plus 14 translated languages (French, Spanish,
  German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Czech, Turkish,
  Romanian, Greek, Arabic, Indonesian, Russian).

Usage

[imagepipe id="123" width="400" height="300"] in any post/page

content, or from a theme template:

<?php echo esc_url( \ImagePipe\WordPressLite\TemplateHelper::url( get_post_thumbnail_id(), null, 400, 300 ) ); ?>

Building pages with Elementor instead? Drag the “ImagePipe Lite” widget
onto the page from the “ImagePipe” category — no shortcode/template code
needed.

Using the block editor (Gutenberg)? Insert the “ImagePipe” block — same
options, no shortcode/template code needed.
