## What ThumbPress Does

ThumbPress is an all-in-one WordPress plugin for the media library. It compresses images, converts them to WebP and AVIF, regenerates or disables thumbnail sizes, and finds the duplicate, unused and oversized files that quietly bloat a site. Ten features are free forever; the bulk and cleanup tools are Pro.

Every operation runs on your own server using the image libraries PHP already has installed — nothing is uploaded to a third-party service, so there are no credits, quotas or privacy trade-offs.
