Everything in one plugin

⚡

Auto-compress on upload

Every image you upload to WordPress is automatically compressed before it enters your media library. No extra steps.

📚

Bulk compress media library

Optimize all your existing images in one go. The bulk compress screen shows before/after size for every file.

✂️
Only PuffPix

SVG compression

Compress SVG files exported from Figma, Illustrator, or Sketch. Strips editor metadata and reduces file sizes up to 60%.

📁
Only PuffPix

Folder mode

Compress an entire server directory in place — including wp-content/uploads and all subdirectories — via the API.

📊

Per-image stats

See original size, compressed size, and savings percentage for every image directly in the WordPress media library column.

🔧

Quality control

Choose between Fast, Balanced, or Max compression engines. Max mode uses mozjpeg and pngquant for the smallest possible files.

Two features no other WordPress compression plugin has

Most WordPress image plugins stop at JPG and PNG. PuffPix goes further.

✂️

SVG compression via SVGO

Design tools like Figma and Illustrator export SVGs bloated with editor metadata, comments, and invisible layers. PuffPix strips all of that — reducing SVG file sizes by up to 60% with zero visual change. No other WordPress compression plugin does this.

📁

Folder mode — compress entire directories

Point PuffPix at any server path (e.g. wp-content/uploads/2024) and it compresses every image file in place, recursively, with a configurable file-size threshold. Ideal for migrating a site with thousands of unoptimized legacy images.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PuffPix WordPress plugin compress images automatically?
Yes. The plugin hooks into WordPress's media upload pipeline and automatically compresses every image you upload. No manual steps required — images are optimized the moment they hit your media library.

Yes. The plugin includes a bulk compress screen in the WordPress admin that lets you optimize all previously uploaded images in one batch, with before/after sizes shown per image.
Does the plugin support SVG compression?
Yes — PuffPix is one of the only WordPress compression plugins that supports SVG. SVG files are minified via SVGO, stripping editor metadata and reducing file sizes by up to 60%.
What is folder mode in the WordPress plugin?
Folder mode lets you compress an entire server directory in place via the PuffPix API. Useful for compressing your wp-content/uploads folder in bulk, including nested subdirectories, without moving files.
Is the PuffPix WordPress plugin free?
