Image Format Converter

HSP

Where do converted images appear?

Converted images are saved in your uploads folder (e.g., wp-content/uploads/2025/09/) with „_converted“ appended (e.g., image_converted.png). If enabled (default), they appear in Media > Library. The success notice shows „Image convert complete“ with links to the file and Media Library entry.

Why don’t I see the converted file?

Check the success/error notice on Media > Image Converter. Ensure GD or Imagick is enabled (see library status). Verify the uploads folder is writable (755/644 permissions). Check Media > Library.

What do I do if I see „GD: Not Available | Imagick: Not Available“?

Click the „How to Enable GD and Imagick“ button for instructions. Summary:
– Shared Hosting: Enable „gd“ or „imagick“ in cPanel/Site Tools under PHP Extensions. Contact support if needed.
– Local (XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP): Edit php.ini to uncomment extension=gd or add extension=imagick after installing ImageMagick.
– VPS (Ubuntu/CentOS): Install php-gd or php-imagick, restart Apache.
– Cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean): Install extensions or contact support.
– Verify: Use Tools > Site Health > Info > Server or create info.php with <?php phpinfo(); ?>.

Does it support AVIF/WebP?

Yes, if GD (PHP 8.1+ for AVIF, 7.1+ for WebP) or Imagick supports them. Check the library status on the conversion page.

Why don’t the toggle buttons work?

• Open Developer Tools (F12 > Console) for errors like „jQuery is not defined“.
• Ensure wp-content/plugins/image-format-converter/admin/js/imgfmt-admin.js exists (permissions 644).
• Deactivate other plugins and switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Five).
• Clear browser cache or test in incognito mode.
• Enable WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php and check wp-content/debug.log.
• Verify jQuery loads (F12 > Network > JS).
• In XAMPP, ensure Apache is running and file paths are correct.
• Contact support with console errors.

Can I convert multiple images?

Currently supports single-image conversion. Bulk conversion is planned for future updates.
