## Description

Halka WebP Image Optimizer hooks into the WordPress upload pipeline to silently 
convert JPEG and PNG images to WebP during upload.

It is a minimalist, performance-first optimizer. Unlike “bloated” suites, Halka 
focuses on a zero-configuration approach to keep your server load light (“Halka”
means light). It is designed for users who want WebP conversion without the database
overhead of larger plugins. No external APIs, no credits required — everything happens
locally on your server.

**Features**

 * Convert JPEG, PNG (and optionally GIF) to **WebP** on upload
 * Configurable quality per format
 * Optional maximum dimension cap (auto-resize on upload)
 * Strip EXIF/IPTC metadata to save extra bytes
 * Optionally delete the original file after conversion
 * **Bulk converter** — process existing Media Library images in small batches
 * Per-image **Convert to WebP** button in the Media Library list view
 * Server support badge so you know what your host can do
 * Zero external dependencies — uses WordPress’s built-in `WP_Image_Editor`

## Installation

 1. Upload the `halka-webp-image-optimizer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Settings  Halka Image Optimizer** to configure.

## FAQ

### Does my server support WebP?

The Settings page shows a badge indicating whether your server’s image library
 (
GD or Imagick) can encode WebP. Most modern hosts support it. If yours does not,
ask your host to enable WebP support in GD or upgrade to a more recent version of
Imagick.

### Will existing images be converted?

Only newly uploaded images are converted automatically. Use the **Bulk Convert**

section on the Settings page to process existing Media Library images. You can also
convert individual images using the **Convert to WebP** button in the Media Library
list view.

### Is it safe to enable “Delete Original”?

Only enable this if you are sure you will never need the originals. There is no

undo. We recommend keeping originals (the default) unless disk space is critical.
