your image can have a transparent background or be filled with a single solid
color.

now generate smart image titles using AI for better SEO.
* Bulk Remove AI Data – Easily clear all AI-generated image SEO data in one go.
### 🆕 New! Freshly added AI Image SEO features
* AI-powered image SEO – Automatically generate ALT text, captions, and image descriptions
for all your images.

### Actions and Filters for Developers
The ShortPixel Image Optimizer plugin calls the following actions and filters:
```
do_action( 'shortpixel_image_optimised', $post_id );
```
upon successful optimization;
```
do_action("shortpixel_before_restore_image", $post_id);
```
before restoring an image from backup;
```
do_action("shortpixel_after_restore_image", $post_id);
```
after succesful restore;
For version 4.22.10 and earlier:
```
apply_filters("shortpixel_backup_folder", $backup_folder, $main_file_path, $sizes);
```
just before returning the ShortPixel backup folder, usually /wp-content/uploads/
ShortpixelBackups. The `$sizes` are the sizes array from metadata;
For version 5.0.0 and later:
```
$directory = apply_filters("shortpixel/file/backup_folder", $directory, $file);
```
just before returning the ShortPixel backup folder, usually /wp-content/uploads/
ShortpixelBackups).
```
apply_filters('shortpixel_image_exists', file_exists($path), $path, $post_id);
```
post ID is not always set, only if it’s an image from Media Library;
```
apply_filters('shortpixel_image_urls', $URLs, $post_id);
```
filters the URLs that will be sent to optimisation, `$URLs` is a plain array;
**The filter below is deprecated starting with version 5.0.0!**
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/db/chunk_size', $chunk);
```
the `$chunk` is the value ShortPixel chooses to use as the number of selected records
in one query (based on total table size), some hosts work better with a different
value;
For version 4.22.10 and earlier:
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/backup/paths', $PATHs, $mainPath);
```
filters the array of paths of the images sent for backup and can be used to exclude
certain paths/images/thumbs from being backed up, based on the image path. `$mainPath`
is the path of the main image, while `$PATHs` is an array with all files to be backed
up (including thumbnails);
For version 5.0.0 and later:
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/image/skip_backup', false, $this->getFullPath(), $this->is_main_file)
```
filters the images that are skipped or not from the backup. Return true for the
type of images to be skipped in the backup. If you check if `is_main_file` is true
and return false (do not skip backup), while while otherwise returning true, the
backup will be kept only for the main image. We suggest using it in conjuction with
this action that fires right after the restore from backup is done:
```
do_action('shortpixel/image/after_restore', $this, $this->id, $cleanRestore);
```
This action can be used to cleanup the meta data from the database, regenerate thumbnails
after restoring the main file, writing the updated meta data, etc.
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/settings/image_sizes', $sizes);
```
filters the array (`$sizes`) of image sizes that can be excluded from processing(
displayed in the plugin Advanced settings);
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/image/imageparamlist', $result, $this->id, $this);
```
filters the list of parameters sent to the API so that resizing can be performed
more granularly;
```
apply_filters('shortpixel/api/request', $requestParameters, $item_id);
```
filters the parameters sent to the optimization API (through `$requestParameters`),
described in detail here: [ShortPixel Reducer API](https://shortpixel.com/api-docs);`
$item_id` contains the ID of the Media Library item, or the ID of the Custom Media
item (when used). In short, this filter can be used to alter any parameters sent
to the API, depending on the needs. For example, you can set different resize parameters
for different post types, different compression levels, remove EXIF or not, covert
WebP/AVIF, and basically any other parameter that is sent to the API for a specific
image (together with all its thumbnails).
This filter enables the background ShortPixel processing in additional pages (see
[here](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/on-what-pages-does-spio-optimize-images/)
the original list). Here’s an example of this filter that enables the processing
on the Comments screen (to be placed in your functions.php file):
```
add_filter('shortpixel/init/optimize_on_screens', function ($screens) {
$screens[] = 'edit-comments';
return $screens;
});
```
The `edit-comments` is the ID of the screen where you want to enable the processing.
If you want to add multiple pages, here’s what the snippet looks like:
```
add_filter('shortpixel/init/optimize_on_screens', function ($screens) {
$screens = array('edit-comments', 'plugins', 'another-custom-post-type-page');
return $screens;
});
add_filter('shortpixel/image/filecheck', function () { return true; });
```
This filter forces a file check for WebP/AVIF in case they were manually removed
from disk.
If you want to disable the automatic cache flush that is triggered after image optimization,
you can use this filter:
```
add_filter( 'shortpixel/external/flush_cache', function() { return false; } );
```
In order to define custom thumbnails to be picked up by the optimization you have
two options, both comma separated defines:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_CUSTOM_THUMB_SUFFIXES', '_tl,_tr');
```
will handle custom thumbnails like image-100x100_tl.jpg;
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_CUSTOM_THUMB_INFIXES', '-uae');
```
will handle custom thumbnails like image-uae-100×100.jpg;
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_USE_DOUBLE_WEBP_EXTENSION', true);
define('SHORTPIXEL_USE_DOUBLE_AVIF_EXTENSION', true);
```
will tell the plugin to create double extensions for the WebP/AVIF image counterparts,
for example, image.jpg.webp/image.jpg.avif for image.jpg;
Enable the “Trusted mode” in case the file system has limitations and is very slow
in responding to direct file operations by adding this constant:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_TRUSTED_MODE', true);
```
This will simply skip file check operations and if the Media Library loads very
slowly or freezes, you might want to try adding the constant above to your wp-config.
php file.
Disable the feedback survey when the plugin is deactivated:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_SKIP_FEEDBACK', true);
```
Hide the Cloudflare settings by defining these constants in wp-config.php:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_CFTOKEN', 'the Cloudflare API token that has Purge Cache right');
define('SHORTPIXEL_CFZONE', 'The Zone ID from the domain settings in Cloudflare');
```
Add HTTP basic authentication credentials by defining these constants in wp-config.
php
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_HTTP_AUTH_USER', 'user');
define('SHORTPIXEL_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD', 'pass');
```

## ہرہک دے سوال
### How does ShortPixel compare to other image optimisation plugins (e.g Smush, Imagify, TinyPNG, Kraken, EWWW, Optimole)?
ShortPixel consistently has better compression rates along with more features, backup
support and has very affordable one-time or monthly plans.
Here are a couple of
independent reviews: AuthorityHacker – “ShortPixel is our tool of choice, simply
because it’s pretty much automated – we just let it do its thing.” ([read full review](https://www.authorityhacker.com/best-wordpress-image-optimizer/))
WP Modula – “One of the reasons I’m personally a huge fan of ShortPixel is the built-
in support for next-gen image formats like WebP.” ([read full review](https://wp-modula.com/the-best-wordpress-image-optimization-plugins/))
### Can I use the same API Key on multiple web sites?
Yes, you can.
As long as you have available credits, you can use a single API Key
on as many websites as you wish!
### What plan is better for me? What do you recommend?
Everyone has different needs, but generally, we recommend getting a One-Time plan
to optimize your whole Media Library and then get a Monthly plan to optimize your
future uploads. To learn more, have a look at [this comparison](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/monthly-plans-vs-one-time-plans/)
### I don’t know how many thumbnails do I have, what plan should I take?
To know how many thumbnails you have, just install the plugin and go to Media >
Bulk ShortPixel. The plugin will tell you how many thumbnails you’ve got. Based
on this, have a look at [our plans](https://shortpixel.com/pricing)
### Can I upgrade/downgrade easily my plan?
Of course. You can upgrade or downgrade your plans in a couple of clicks from your
account on shortpixel.com.
### Can I test/use the plugin for free?
Yes, you can.
We offer 100 free image optimization credits each month. Exceeding
the monthly free quota will pause the optimization process till the quota is reset
or extended by buying one of our plans.
### Can I optimize images that aren’t in Media Library?
Absolutely.
You can actually optimize any image you have on your site regardless
of its place. You just need to add – in the Advanced section of the ShortPixel Settings–
the folders where the images you want to optimize are located and ShortPixel will
work its magic and do the rest.
### Can I optimize images that are both past and new?
Sure!
You can optimize all your past/current images and photos using our “Bulk
ShortPixel” page in your Media with a single click.
### A credit = an optimized image?
Yes, that is correct.
But please note that usually, an image in Media Library has
5 or more associated thumbs. Each optimized thumbnail requires a credit. In the
rare cases when ShortPixel does not optimise the image (lossy) with at least 5%,
the credit will not be consumed, though.
### Can I restore my images? What happens with the originals?
If you choose the “Image backup” option in Settings/ShortPixel then the original
version of any optimized image or PDF will be saved in the backup folder.
The original
image is needed if you want to restore an image or if you want to convert an image
from lossy/glossy to lossless or vice-versa.
### What types of formats can be optimized?
ShortPixel optimises JPEG (JPG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR), PNG, GIF (animated and
still), and PDF type of files.
### Do you have one-time plans?
Yes we do.
The credits that come with our [one-time plans](https://shortpixel.com/plans)
never expire. Yummy! 🙂
### What happens to my existing images?
Your existing images are replaced with the optimized ones.
If you choose the backup
option then the originals will be saved in a separate folder so you can restore
them should you ever need/want to do that.
### How does the plugin work?
Our lightweight plugin sends the original images to our Image Optimization Cloud
where they are compressed. ShortPixel then downloads the optimized images and the
unoptimized originals are replaced with the optimised versions.
### Do you optimize images in the cloud?
Yes, all the images processed by ShortPixel are optimized in the Cloud. This takes
the load off of your server and allows us to produce the best results.
### What payment methods are accepted?
We accept payments via card (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, American Express, Discover,
Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay), PayPal, and Apple Pay.
### How do I activate the API key on a multisite?
You have to activate the plugin in the network admin and then activate it manually
on each individual site in the multisite. Once you have done that, the Settings
menu appears and you can add the API key for each individual site.
As an alternative,
you can edit wp-config.php and add this line:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_API_KEY', 'APIKEY');
```
where `APIKEY` is the API Key received upon sign up.
If configured that way, the
API key will be used for all the sites of the multisite but will only be visible
on the main site’s Settings page, being hidden for the rest of the sites.
### I am not the only one working on the WordPress Dashboard. How can I hide my API key?
There is a simple way to hide the API key, all you need to do is to add these two
lines in your wp-config.php:
```
define('SHORTPIXEL_API_KEY', '<>');
define('SHORTPIXEL_HIDE_API_KEY', true);
```
### How much is a credit?
A credit is used each time ShortPixel optimizes an image or thumbnail by at least
5%. If we’re not able to optimize an image or thumbnail by at least 5% then no credit
will be used 🙂
Please also note that usually images in your Media Library have
3-5 thumbs associated and a credit will be used for each featured image or associated
thumbnail that is optimized.
### Why shall I use a WordPress plugin and not an offline tool?
Because ShortPixel algorithms were perfected while optimizing over 3.5 billion real-
life images.
ShortPixel not only offers the best compression for JPEG, PNG, GIF,
and PDF files but it also saves you a lot of time. You just install it on your site
and then ShortPixel will take care that all the images on your site are immediately
optimized after upload.
### Does optimizing images affect my ALT tags?
No, ShortPixel only optimizes images, it won’t touch anything else like your HTML/
CSS.
### If I stop using ShortPixel will my images remain optimized?
Absolutely!
Once optimized, the images will remain optimized unless you explicitly
choose to restore them. But why would you do that? 🙂
### Do I have to pay monthly or one time?
We have both options available.
One-time credits never expire and are a bit more
expensive. Check out our prices [here](https://shortpixel.com/pricing)
### When can I cancel a monthly plan?
Whenever you want.
The credits you still have available for the current billing
period will still be available until the end of the billing period. At the end of
it, you won’t be billed again and the plan will be reset to the free plan.
### When do credits expire?
Monthly credits expire after 30 days while one-time credits never expire.
### Do you have an API?
Yes, we have several APIs and tools.
You can learn more about it here: [https://shortpixel.com/api-tools](https://shortpixel.com/api-tools)
### Can I use the ShortPixel WP plugin on a localhost installation?
Unfortunately not 🙁
But you can use either our command line tool or our web tool
[https://shortpixel.com/web-tool-docs](https://shortpixel.com/web-tool-docs) [https://shortpixel.com/cli-docs](https://shortpixel.com/cli-docs)
### How does resizing work?
If you choose the option to resize images on your site, then the featured image
can be resized to a predefined size while keeping its aspect and proportions intact.
The associated thumbs won’t be resized.
Using this option you can safely upload
original images safely without needing to apply any pre-processing to make them
smaller.
### Will ShortPixel work if my website is using CloudFare?
Absolutely! Sometimes you’ll need to make sure you whitelist some IPs, just [contact us](https://shortpixel.com/contact)
and we’ll assist you with that.
### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?
Please report security bugs found in the source code of the ShortPixel Image Optimizer
plugin through the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/shortpixel-image-optimiser).
The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify
the developers of this plugin.
### Does the plugin use any external services
This plugin integrates with Chatbase ([https://www.chatbase.co](https://www.chatbase.co/))
to provide AI-powered chat support directly within the plugin interface. This integration
allows plugin users to ask questions and receive automated assistance. The only
data collected is the Country(no city and no exact location) and the message itself.

### How do I compress images without losing quality in WordPress?
The best way to compress images without losing quality in WordPress is by using
the ShortPixel plugin. ShortPixel automatically compresses images with lossless
compression, ensuring the visual quality remains intact while significantly reducing

I have been using ShortPixel on all my WordPress websites for years. I really like
the image quality they produce for compressed images. Saves so much on file size
and yet compromises so little on quality, if any. (you can control the quality)
It is a feature rich plugin. Easy to navigate and understand the settings and options,
yet powerful in what you have control over. Recently they have added AI Image SEO
alt text generation. It works great saving hours of my time manually generating
descriptive alts. Support team at ShortPixel are great. Just an all round super
plugin and service. I highly recommend them.
