By default, AVIF images will be generated if supported on the hosting server, otherwise WebP will be used as the output format. When both formats are available, the output format can be selected under `Settings > Media`. Modern images will be generated only for new uploads, pre-existing images will only converted to a modern format if images are regenerated. Images can be regenerated with a plugin like [Regenerate Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/) or via WP-CLI with the `wp media regenerate` [command](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/media/regenerate/). By default, only modern image format sub-sizes will be generated for JPEG or PNG uploads – only the original uploaded file will still exist as a JPEG/PNG image, generated image sizes will be WebP or AVIF files. To change this behavior, there is a checkbox in `Settings > Media` «Output fallback images» that – when checked– will result in the plugin generating both the original format as well as WebP or AVIF images for every sub-size (noting again that this will only affect newly uploaded images, i.e. after making said change). _This plugin was formerly known as WebP Uploads._ ## Instalación #### Instalación desde WordPress 1.

Si necesitas ayuda para solucionar problemas o tienes alguna pregunta sobre el plugin, [crea un nuevo tema en nuestro foro de soporte](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/webp-uploads/#new-topic-0). ### ¿Dónde puedo informar fallos de seguridad? El equipo de Rendimiento y la comunidad WordPress se toman en serio los fallos de seguridad. Apreciamos tu esfuerzo para divulgar responsablemente tus hallazgos, y haremos todo lo posible para reconocer tus contribuciones. Para informar de un problema de seguridad, visita el programa [WordPress HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/wordpress). ### ¿Cómo puedo contribuir al plugin? ¡Las contribuciones son siempre bienvenidas! Obtén más información sobre cómo participar en el [manual del equipo de Rendimiento](https://make.wordpress.org/performance/handbook/get-involved/). ### He activado el módulo de Modern Image Formats, pero las imágenes WebP no siempre se generan cuando subo una imagen JPEG. ¿Por qué? Hay dos razones principales por las que no se puede generar una imagen WebP: 1. El plugin Modern Image Formats ha identificado que la versión WebP de la imagen JPEG subida tendría un tamaño de archivo mayor que la imagen JPEG original, por lo que no genera la versión WebP. 2. La imagen JPEG no se subió a la [biblioteca de medios](https://wordpress.com/support/media/). En este momento, las versiones WebP solo se generan para imágenes en la biblioteca de medios. Las versiones WebP no se generan para las imágenes JPEG que se añadan al sitio de otras maneras, como en un archivo de plantilla o en el [personalizador](https://wordpress.com/support/customizer/). ### Con el plugin Modern Image Formats activado, ¿el plugin generará versiones JPEG y WebP de cada imagen que suba? Por defecto, el plugin Modern Image Formats solo generará versiones WebP de las imágenes que subas. Si deseas generar versiones WebP **y** JPEG, puedes navegar a **Ajustes > Medios** para activar la opción **Generar archivos JPEG además de WebP**. ## Reseñas ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0337dc6ab9a9a29593b6ba01db4934bc02f4b6d3f7f777ce031d9f270e50756e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-17160/)󠁿 [couponsoffers](https://profiles.wordpress.org/couponsoffers/) 2 de julio de 2026 Easy, fast, and works instantly; I highly recommend it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/43ee378e90b73c9da2f7f08d718a9cafb904b6ca7d0df77f14ed7534b76f3a69? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic – simple & essential plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-simple-essential-plugin/)󠁿 [DigitalGdn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bkno/) 26 de junio de 2026 1 respuesta This works perfectly for my needs and I see it as an essential plugin. I use it with these settings enabled: ✅ AVIF ✅ Output fallback images ✅ Picture element Then just a question of running wp media regenerate. For images I output in custom blocks (e.g. an ACF image field) I created a theme function that calls wp_get_attachment_image then applies the filter wp_content_img_tag. I guess there was some technical reason why the plugin couldn’t do that part. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/80e914c33cfcb58bb025742ce294e1d12f214079d7e14ac31b35e24477c06eda? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Funktioniert wie beschrieben – Heimvorteil weil von WordPress entwickelt](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/funktioniert-wie-beschrieben-heimvorteil-weil-von-wordpress-entwickelt/)󠁿 [lacoste89](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lacoste89/) 22 de marzo de 2026 Ich nutze dieses Plugin auf allen neuen Webseiten, damit Bilder automatisch nach AVIF konvertiert werden. Es funktionierte bisher immer ohne Probleme, deshalb kann ich es uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Ich hoffe es wird bald auch direkt in den WordPress Core übernommen. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/92b7d005d1ba6b94b4e69814a40933f600fdcdcb097f2e1b5e4ae23d53535ee0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t work, support not helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-support-not-helpful/)󠁿 [primerpizza](https://profiles.wordpress.org/primerpizza/) 15 de diciembre de 2025 2 respuestas Been trying to get this thing to work but it just wont serve the generated images.

The plugin needs to warn users that once youve regenerated post thumbnails and complete entire process is complete even if you deactivate the plugin wordpress will would force you to use tha Avif or webp version of your images. in which a lot of cases will break site. And one would think you can reverse nope that is not case. I had to result to using a back up data base to restore content. I have about 10K images that includes is variable sizes and variable formats on 2 websites . I Have ZERO plans to figure out which is a jpg and png on those let alone re attach them. There is no official wordpress to manually restore them. This plugin needs to be further improved.
