Introducing an innovative WordPress plugin and API for efficient image compression that operates automatically while safeguarding your data. This tool is perfect for editorial teams, photographers, and bloggers. Optimus achieves lossless compression for PNG files and slightly lossy compression for JPEGs uploaded to WordPress, all while ensuring that the visual quality of the images remains unchanged. In simpler terms, the appearance of the processed images stays identical to the original. The plugin optimizes not only the primary image but also all thumbnail previews associated with the uploaded media, setting it apart from desktop and online optimization tools like Photoshop, ImageOptim, JPEGmin, and TinyPNG, which only compress the original files as thumbnails are generated later. By compressing every preview image as well, Optimus effectively reduces file sizes without compromising the visible quality of images, making it a valuable asset for anyone looking to streamline their media management. This comprehensive approach ensures that your website runs efficiently without sacrificing image integrity.
