One image. See what you can do with it.

A 44-second look at organising files, making a WebP copy, cropping and replacing an image inside WordPress.

Media Library in action, using example images. File-size savings depend on the image and your server’s image tools.
What the video shows

An example image is moved into a virtual folder without changing its URL. A separate WebP copy is created, leaving the original in place. The image is cropped inside WordPress, then replaced in the same format while keeping its attachment ID and URL. The tools run on your own server, with no cloud account, licence key or paid unlock.

Before you install

Will folders change my image URLs?

No. Folders are virtual and do not move files on disk.

Does replacement update every copy of an image?

It preserves the local attachment ID and existing full and generated-size paths. Refresh caches. External copies, custom builder exports and remote storage need separate handling.

Does this use a paid image API?

No. Image processing runs locally using your server’s WordPress image editor. No cloud account or licence is required.

Is restore a permanent backup?

No. It holds one previous version in private temporary storage while it remains available. Keep normal site backups.
