TSO Image Master also fixes what goes wrong. It automatically converts every upload to WebP, AVIF, JPG or PNG (with an undo backup) and compresses your PDFs. Then it helps you repair the rest of your media library: broken image URLs with one-click fix and undo, safe renaming that updates every link, orphan images and extra files, duplicates, unused image sizes that waste disk space, missing or hyphenated alt text, and oversized files. It provides the following features from a single admin screen: **Overview** — Site health metrics (image count, missing alt, TSO backups, space saved, server engines). Bulk-fill missing or weak alt text. Scan for duplicate image files. Configure backup retention and watch the background optimize queue. **Image Optimizer** — Convert images to WebP, AVIF (when GD supports it), JPG, or PNG. Set quality and dimensions, replace originals, and update content links (posts, custom fields, options, widgets and Elementor pages). Bulk optimize runs in the background via WP-Cron (5 images per batch). Choose how many images to show per page (21–105). Requires PHP GD (WebP strongly recommended). **Orphaned Image Finder** — Detects Media Library images that are not referenced in posts, pages, widgets, meta, theme Customizer settings, FSE templates/parts/patterns, term meta, or menu items. Paginated batch scanning helps avoid timeouts on large sites. **Rogue File Scanner** — Scans the uploads directory for physical files WordPress does not know about: double-extension files (e.g. image.jpg.webp), plugin backup files, temporary files, and other unregistered images that waste disk space. **Image Sizes** — Finds image sizes (thumbnails) left behind by old plugins or themes that WordPress no longer registers or uses, grouped by size. Delete a whole size in one click: every deletion saves a backup zip you can download, restore or delete, and files used by another size or by the main image are never removed. **SEO & File Names** — Edit title, alt text, caption, and description for any image. Rename files using SEO-friendly slugs (lowercase, no accents, hyphens instead of spaces). All internal links are updated automatically. **PDF Compressor** — Reduce PDF file size in the Media Library using GhostScript( recommended) or the Imagick PHP extension as a fallback. The original URL never changes. **Auto-Optimizer** — Automatically optimize new uploads with your chosen format and quality. Optional: skip already-small WebP/AVIF files, and fill missing alt text on upload (even when auto-optimize is off). Each image is processed only once so regenerations do not re-trigger optimization. **Media Library** — Row action and bulk action to queue images for background optimization, plus a short note on the attachment screen. **History** — Audit log of optimizations, renames, SEO updates (with field details), PDF compressions, and related actions. Filter by action type, date range, and filename. Configurable automatic cleanup. **URL Fixer** — Scans public content (posts, pages, and custom post types) for broken image URLs after format conversions (e.g. `.jpg` still referenced after conversion to `.webp`). Renders blocks and shortcodes when needed so embedded images are detected. Finds replacements and updates the database in one click; can also remove broken references when no fix exists. **Cache Compatibility** — After operations that change file URLs or content, the plugin purges LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, SiteGround Optimizer, and Autoptimize when they are active. #### Requirements * PHP 7.4 or higher (tested up to 8.3) * WordPress 6.2 or higher (tested up to 7.1) * PHP GD library with JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP support (AVIF output needs GD with` imageavif()` / `imagecreatefromavif()`) * GhostScript (optional, required for best PDF compression) * Imagick PHP extension (optional, fallback for PDF compression) #### Source Code The source code for this plugin is entirely human-readable. The file `admin/js/admin. js` is unminified, unobfuscated source code. No build tools are required. All translation strings are passed from PHP via `wp_localize_script()`. #### Translations The plugin interface is already translated into the following languages (included in the plugin): * **English** — default * **Català (Catalan)** — `ca` * **Español (Spanish)** — `es_ES` If you would like to contribute a translation into another language, you can do so at [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/tso-image-master/). ## Screenshots [⌊Image Optimizer tab with search, bulk actions, and format/quality controls.⌉⌊Image Optimizer tab with search, bulk actions, and format/quality controls.⌉[ Image Optimizer tab with search, bulk actions, and format/quality controls.

Upload the `tso-image-master` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it directly from the WordPress plugin dashboard. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **Image Master** in the admin sidebar to start using the plugin. 4. (Optional) To enable PDF compression, install GhostScript on your server. Ask your hosting provider for assistance if needed. 5. Requires PHP GD to WebP images.Ask your hosting provider for assistance if needed. ## FAQ ### Does the plugin modify original image files? Only if you check the “Replace original” option. When replacing, the plugin saves a backup copy under `wp-content/uploads/tso-image-master/` (mirroring your upload year/month folders when applicable). Backup files use a `_tso_im_backup` name pattern. You can revert from the editor modal or delete backups to free disk space. Empty backup folders are removed automatically after deletion. Backups are never stored inside the plugin folder. ### Can backups be deleted automatically? Yes. On the Overview tab you can set backup retention by maximum age (days) and/ or maximum total size (MB). A daily cron purges old or oversized TSO backups. Set both to `0` to disable automatic purge. You can also run **Purge now** from Overview. ### What happens to my images if I uninstall the plugin? Uninstalling the plugin removes the following data: * **Database:** plugin options, the custom history table (`wp_*tsoimma_history`), all plugin postmeta keys, and scheduled cron events. * **Backup folder:** the `wp-content/uploads/tso-image-master/` folder and all backup copies inside it are deleted. * **Original images:** your actual image files in the uploads folder are **never** deleted. Only the plugin-created backup copies are removed. ### Which output formats are supported? **WebP**, **JPG**, **PNG**, and **keep original**. **AVIF** appears when your PHP GD build supports AVIF read/write. If AVIF or WebP is requested but unavailable, the plugin falls back to a supported format. ### Why is AVIF disabled or missing? AVIF needs PHP GD compiled with AVIF support (`imageavif` / `imagecreatefromavif`). Many hosts still lack this. Check **Overview server engines** (GD AVIF). WebP remains the recommended default for broad browser and host support. ### How does bulk / Media Library optimize work? Selected images are added to a background queue processed by WP-Cron (about 5 images per batch). Progress appears on the Overview tab; you can cancel pending jobs. You can also queue from the Media Library row action or bulk actions. ### Does the plugin work with caching plugins? Yes. After operations that modify content or file URLs, the plugin calls purge helpers for LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, SiteGround Optimizer, and Autoptimize when they are installed and active. ### Can I use the plugin on a multisite installation? The plugin has not been explicitly tested on multisite. It is designed for standard single-site WordPress installations. ### The PDF compressor does not work. What should I do? PDF compression requires GhostScript or the Imagick PHP extension on your server. The Overview and PDF areas indicate which engines are available. Contact your hosting provider to install GhostScript for best results. ### I optimized an image and the new format weighs more than the original. What happened? This can happen with images that are already well-optimized, very small images, or images with a lot of transparency or detail. The plugin will show a warning in this case. You can revert to the original using the backup. On Auto-Optimizer you can optionally skip WebP/AVIF files already under a size threshold (KB). ### How does fill missing alt text work? On Overview you can bulk-fill useful alt text for selected images (from title or humanized filename). On Auto-Optimizer you can enable fill-on-upload for new images that lack alt text. Fill-on-upload can run even when auto-optimize is disabled. Generic or weak alt values may be replaced when a better suggestion exists; humanized filename fills are treated as useful. ### What does the duplicate scanner do? On Overview, **Scan duplicates** groups Media Library files with the same MD5 hash so you can spot wasted space. It does not delete files automatically; review groups before removing anything. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TSO Image Master” is open source software.
