## Сүрөттөө

**How this differs from every other image optimizer:** the other plugins in this
category compress on a remote server (metered credits) or with your host’s ImageMagick/
GD (no AVIF on shared hosting). PrinterFlo Image Optimizer is, to our knowledge,
the only one that runs the actual encoders (libwebp, libavif) as WebAssembly in 
the site owner’s browser — which is why it can be unlimited and free, needs no API
key, sends no images anywhere, and can produce AVIF on any hosting plan.

Every image optimizer plugin has the same catch: your images get sent to their servers,
servers cost money, so you get metered — 100 images/month, 20 MB/month, “upgrade
for bulk.”

**This plugin has no server.** It converts your media library to WebP (and optionally
AVIF) using WebAssembly running in your own browser — the same open-source encoders(
Google’s libwebp and libavif) that power professional optimization services, just
running on your machine instead of theirs.

 * **Truly unlimited** — 50 images or 50,000. There is nothing to meter.
 * **No account, no API key, no signup** — install, click Optimize, done.
 * **AVIF on any hosting** — shared hosts usually can’t encode AVIF server-side.
   Your browser can. Get the most modern format on the cheapest hosting.
 * **Zero server load** — your host does no conversion work at all.
 * **Private** — images never leave your site. Nothing is sent to any third party.
 * **Originals untouched** — converted files are saved alongside your originals;
   one click removes them all.
 * **Automatic delivery** — front-end images are wrapped in `<picture>` tags so 
   every visitor’s browser picks the best format it supports. Works on any host —
   no .htaccess or nginx changes.

**How it works**

Open **Media  Image Optimizer** and click **Optimize all images**. Your browser 
fetches each image (and every thumbnail size), converts it with WebAssembly, and
saves the result back to your media library. Keep the tab open while it runs — that’s
the whole trick that makes unlimited possible.

The one honest trade-off: because conversion happens in a browser, new uploads aren’t
converted automatically in the background. Revisit the page after adding images 
and run it again — already-converted files are skipped, so it only processes what’s
new.

### External services

None. This plugin makes no requests to any external service. All image processing
happens locally in the site administrator’s browser using bundled WebAssembly encoders(
libwebp and libavif via jSquash, Apache-2.0 licensed).

### Source code

The JavaScript in `assets/dist/` is built from the unminified sources in `assets/
src/` (Vite; see `assets/src/vite.config.js`). Both are included in this plugin.
To rebuild: `cd assets/src && npm install && npm run build`.

**About the `.wasm` files in `assets/dist/`:** these WebAssembly binaries ARE the
image encoders/decoders — they are essential to the plugin (it performs all conversion
in the browser, so without them it does nothing). They are the unmodified, pre-built
codec binaries shipped by the open-source [jSquash project](https://github.com/jamsinclair/jSquash)(
Apache-2.0), pulled in verbatim from the `@jsquash/webp` and `@jsquash/avif` npm
packages by the build above:

 * `webp_enc*.wasm` / `webp_dec*.wasm` — Google’s [libwebp](https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp)
   encoder/decoder, compiled to WebAssembly with Emscripten (build source: [jSquash codec directory](https://github.com/jamsinclair/jSquash/tree/main/packages/webp/codec)).
 * `avif_enc*.wasm` / `avif_dec*.wasm` — [libavif](https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif)
   + [libaom](https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/) encoder/decoder, same toolchain(
   build source: [jSquash codec directory](https://github.com/jamsinclair/jSquash/tree/main/packages/avif/codec)).

These codecs originate from the [GoogleChromeLabs Squoosh](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh)
project. Complete corresponding source and build instructions for every binary are
at the links above.

## Орнотуу

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to **Media  Image Optimizer**.
 3. (Optional) Enable AVIF and adjust quality.
 4. Click **Optimize all images** and keep the tab open until it finishes.

## FAQ.KG

### Is it really unlimited? What’s the catch?

The conversion runs on your computer, in your browser — so there are no server costs
and nothing to meter. The one trade-off: you have to open the optimizer page and
keep it open while it works. For most sites that’s a few minutes, once.

### Are my images sent anywhere?

No. The plugin makes no external requests at all. Images go from your media library
to your browser and back — encoder included in the plugin, running locally via WebAssembly.

### Does it modify my original images?

Never. Converted files are saved as separate `.webp`/`.avif` files next to the originals.
The “Remove all converted files” button deletes everything the plugin created, and
your site is exactly as before.

### How are the images served to visitors?

Front-end `<img>` tags whose files have a converted version get wrapped in a `<picture
>` element with AVIF/WebP sources. Browsers automatically pick the best format they
support and older browsers fall back to the original — no server configuration, 
works with page caching.

### WebP or AVIF?

WebP is fast to encode and universally supported — it’s always on. AVIF is 30–50%
smaller than JPEG but slower to encode; enable it if you want maximum savings and
don’t mind the run taking longer.

### What about new uploads?

They’re converted the next time you open Media  Image Optimizer and click the button—
already-done files are skipped. Background auto-conversion needs a server-side encoder,
which is exactly the thing this plugin deliberately doesn’t depend on.

### Which files are converted?

JPEG and PNG attachments, including every registered thumbnail size. Transparency
is preserved.

## Өзгөртүүлөр

#### 1.0.3

 * Documentation: the Source code section now fully documents the bundled WebAssembly
   codec binaries (what they are, why they’re required, and links to their complete
   source and build instructions).
 * Faster AVIF encoding on multi-core machines (multithreaded encoder used when 
   the browser supports it).

#### 1.0.2

 * Renamed to PrinterFlo Image Optimizer (distinct, brand-prefixed name per directory
   guidelines).
 * All internals re-prefixed from uio_ to pfio_.

#### 1.0.1

 * Fix: WebAssembly codecs failed to load on some sites (asset URLs are now relative
   to the plugin directory).
 * Fix: browser cache-busting for the conversion worker on plugin updates.
 * New: “Open optimizer” link on the Plugins screen and a first-run pointer notice.

#### 1.0.0

 * First release: unlimited in-browser WebP/AVIF conversion for the whole media 
   library, `<picture>` delivery, one-click removal.
