How it works
Optimize Every Image in Your WordPress Media Library
Once your media is offloaded to Infinite Uploads, every file is served from our CDN. Image Optimization adds one step to that delivery. Each image is compressed, converted to AVIF or WebP where the browser supports it, and right-sized on the way out. It happens close to your visitor, on the fly, and only on the copy that gets sent. Your original files never move.
Lighter Images on Every Page
Modern formats, automatic resizing, and delivery-time compression, all handled for you.
Next-Gen AVIF and WebP
Modern formats a fraction of the size, delivered only to browsers that support them, with automatic fallback to the original.
Right-Sized on Delivery
Oversized images are scaled down as they are served, up to your chosen width, so a giant photo never ships at full resolution.
Originals Never Touched
Optimization happens on delivery, so the files in your Media Library stay exactly as you uploaded them.
Your Whole Library, Optimized
Because it runs on delivery, every image you have already uploaded is covered. No re-processing, no re-uploads.
Real Numbers, Not Estimates
See the Savings on a Real Site
We took a full-size image straight from a gaming site with a two-decade Media Library, and optimized it the way this feature does. Same image, much lighter, no visible difference.
Across that library we measured 54% to 71% smaller. Bigger uploads save even more, because oversized images get right-sized too.
Optimize Your Media Your Way
Serving next-gen images from a global CDN usually means wrangling DNS records, edge workers, and a stack of plugins. With Infinite Uploads it is a toggle, not a project. Your media already runs on our CDN once you offload it, so optimization is a switch in a room that is already wired. No DNS changes, no config files, nothing to maintain.
Three Optimization Levels
Maximum compression, Balanced, or Highest quality. Balanced looks identical to your original on almost every image.
Maximum Width Control
Scale oversized images down on delivery, up to 2560px, so full-size uploads do not ship at full size.
AVIF and WebP Formats
Serve both modern formats, sent only where the visitor's browser supports them, with automatic fallback.
Path and Folder Exclusions
Keep a logo or an entire folder out of optimization with one line in the exclusions box.
Metadata Stripping
Drop EXIF, GPS, and color-profile data for smaller, more private image files.
One-Click CDN Purge
Change a setting and clear the CDN cache from the settings header, so your images pick it up right away.
ONE CONNECTION, ONE SWITCH
The Easiest Image CDN Setup in WordPress

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I optimize images in WordPress with Infinite Uploads?
Connect your site, offload your media, and turn on Image Optimization in Settings. From then on, every image is compressed, converted to a next-gen format, and right-sized as it is delivered from the CDN. There is nothing to install per image.
How much faster will Infinite Uploads make my site?
Website speed depends on many factors, but images are among the most important. Test your site to see how much Infinite Uploads’ image optimization can compress your images and speed up your entire site.
Does it change my original files?
No. Optimization happens as images are delivered, so the originals in your Media Library stay exactly as you uploaded them. Turn it off any time and delivery goes back to the original files.
Does it work on images I already uploaded?
Yes. It covers your whole library, not just new uploads, because it happens on delivery rather than on upload. There is nothing to re-process.
Do I still need a separate image optimization plugin?
Infinite Uploads optimizes your images at the CDN edge as they are delivered, so format conversion and right-sizing are handled for you. If you already run an optimization plugin, this works alongside your setup and takes care of the delivery side. However, a dedicated image optimization plugin like ShortPixel or EWWW works well with Infinite Uploads still.
What image formats does it use?
AVIF and WebP. They are sent only to browsers that support them, with automatic fallback to the original format for everyone else.
Will it reduce my image quality?
You choose the level. Balanced, the default, gives strong compression with no visible difference on almost every image. Pick Highest quality if you run a photography-focused site.
Do I need to set up a CDN or change DNS?
No. Once your media is offloaded to Infinite Uploads, optimization is a single switch. No DNS records, no extra plugins to configure.
Which plan includes image optimization?
Image Optimization is included with the Business plan.
Included With the Business Plan
Image Optimization is part of the Business plan, alongside your cloud storage, bandwidth, and CDN. One plan, one bill, and no separate optimization service to set up or maintain.
