    First of all you have to create an account and getting a API key.

    Second is that the Aggressiv option didn’t work on my pictures, it said “it’s already optimized” but that’s not true. After that I tried the Normal option and the .webp file is bigger than the jpg. Some image thumbs are twice(!) the size. Something is wrong!

    Luckily I tried it with one image only.

  • I had the exact same experience!

    I learned the hard way that this plugin will double or even triple the images in size! Doesn’t matter if it’s a jpg or png, if it’s already optimized off WordPress, the Normal setting will make it *bigger*.

    Boggles my mind how this would even be possible with an image ‘compression’ plugin.

    Something is definitely wrong with this plugin. Makes me wonder if the people leaving good reviews are even looking at whether or not it’s even working.

    Hi @cowbelly,

    We are sorry about the result you got with Imagify.

    The problem is that WebP images can be larger than the original JPG/PNG images in some cases. This happened here as well.

    There is a way to prevent generating WebP if it’s larger than the original format image.

    You can use the following code, zip it, and install it as any other plugin on your site (by uploading it via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload):

    <?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Imagify | Skip larger WebP
 * Description: Prevents WebP conversion if larger than original format image.
 * Plugin URI:  {GitHub repo URL of this plugin}

add_filter( 'imagify_keep_large_webp', '__return_false' );

    Best Regards
