Does anyone have experience with tools to convert photos to WebP, from within WP? I saw a plugin that says it does it within the WP environment, without having to switch out all the pictures to a converted picture manually. It somehow does it in the background??? Is that possible? Also, that particular plugin needed GIT experience to use. I’m not a dev, so a solution in basic language would help a lot…. lol. Any help at all appreciated. TIA

You’re probably on shared hosting without shell access. If you had your own server, you could use standard Linux tools like ImageMagick and “convert” in a simple script to batch in place. You’d still need to make WP aware though (not sure if it automatically picks up files in those dirs or has a db index). Sorry that’s probably not helpful in your situation.
Also a warning about webp – some Apple devices (iPhone 7 ish) don’t display them.
