The Convert to WebP<\/strong> feature in ThumbPress allows you to convert your existing images into the modern WebP format and helping reduce file size and improve website performance without noticeable quality loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WebP is a next-generation image format that provides better compression compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. By converting your images to WebP your website can load faster and use less bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessing WebP Conversion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To begin converting images into WebP please navigate to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress Dashboard \u2192 ThumbPress \u2192 Convert to WebP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you see \u201cNo Scan Results Yet\u201d<\/strong> it means you need to start the scan process first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the top you will find a Settings <\/strong>icon. To change WebP conversion settings you can click on that icon, it will redirect to Compress Images Settings<\/strong> page. To know more details about it please click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batch Size<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The Batch Size<\/strong> determines how many images are processed at once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Default value: 50 images per batch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You can adjust this based on your server performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Tip:<\/strong>
    Use a smaller batch size if your hosting server has limited resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
