Thank you for the video! I am really of fan of your products and videos and service. I have a question, in one of your other videos you said we should not leave our original images on the server as it takes up resources and we should resize and compress them before uploading to WP. Yet in this video Imagify compresses the images and also leaves the original. What's the difference with Imagify that makes it ok to do the compression in WP and leave the originals on the server? I'm somewhat confused now.
Hello Connie, Glad to see that you are loving our videos. In reference to the Serving Images in Next Gen Format video basically leaving Images on the Server does not consume resources. So you do not have to worry about the images on your server as they won't load on your website. I hope that clarifies. :)
Thani you so much! So are you supposed to add images to Imagify as .Jpg and let the plugin convert them and the JPG will be the fall back if browser doesnt support? Or should you convert to WebP beforehand?
Hi, Times a question, I uploaded pictures and then reduced them in the post to 600x400 but now they are blurred, how to make smaller pictures that were large before still sharp?
So actually this is not a free solution, EXCEPT you upload the already compressed images and use Imagify only to envole webp format which you can actually do by chaning .htaccess file on the server. The conclusion is you are just selling the tool :D
Thank you so much for this! I'd love to see you do an in-depth of imagify. My take-away: resize your largest image to the websites largest media 'width". I don't know that. And thank you for providing time-stamps. \(**)/
You're most welcome, Kendel! We are glad that you found the Video and Timestamps useful. And thank you for your suggestions, we shall consider the video for Imagify in the future.
Congratulations!!I understood as a beginner in making sites in wordpress what i have to do with the images and the difference between resize nad compress.Thank you so much.
Hello, This is really great BUT, do you have an video that Does show to resize the images right in Wordpress? These are actually all png overlays already used on the site... and there are several and we don't have easy access to the original files so we need to resize And compress right in Wordpress. If you have the video already, can you please point me to it? If not, any suggestions to where I can easily find this information. It's late Friday night and I need to get his done by Sunday. For sure next time I do something as dumb as adding a ton of overlays, I'll make sure they have the resizing done before they are loaded. Thank you!!!
Jen, I'm not sure I follow 100%, but if these files are present on your website, that means you still have access to the original files, right? And if you use the Imagify plugin, the files will be resized on their servers, but the process will be pretty seamless, which means you should experience the process as if the files are resized on your website directly? I guess that should help solve your query. Let me know if there are any questions.

Awesome video, too bad Imagify doesn't have a lifetime license. I would go for it :D
Thank you!
Great run through. Thanks Brainstorm 👍
You're welcome!

Title is misleading. It should have been Partially Free
Shiva, I've mentioned completely free ways to compress images as well. Imagify has a generous free plan which will serve most users.

Great video. Please, what is your hosting provider because, mine dont support that
Congratulations!!I understood as a beginner in making sites in wordpress what i have to do with the images and the difference between resize nad compress.Thank you so much.
Thanks, with complete details.
Thank u very much for these recomandations, very useful as usual ..
Glad you like them!
I use Birme and the results are excellent
Is there a fallback to jpg/png formats if the user's browser doesn't support webp?
Yes. Imagify does that for you automatically. This is still a thing in WordPress 5.8, unfortunately.
Incredible Video, very easy to understand. Great Content!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching the video :)
Thank you, very helpful!
Glad it was helpful Sabine!
As usual easy to understand and follow. That's the reason why I love all ASTRA products and videos and service.
Great to hear!

@@BrainstormForce no access to the originals.
Does the media library not have the original images?
@@BrainstormForce yes, they are there. I thought you meant access to the original graphic files created for the site, on the computer.
