Bulk optimizationWebP/AVIF variantsBackup & restoreFrontend delivery controls
Safe-first WordPress workflow
Local plugin tools can work without forcing an account. A TinySharp API key adds hosted quota, connected site tracking and one shared account across the website tools, WordPress connector and Chrome extension.
Create WebP and AVIF
Generate modern image variants while keeping original files available for compatibility and restore workflows.
Serve optimized images
Enable frontend delivery controls when you are ready, then clear cache and verify what visitors actually receive.
Restore when needed
Keep backups before replacement so production websites have a safe recovery path.
Why frontend delivery matters
“Optimized” in Media Library is not always the same as optimized for visitors
Many image plugins can generate smaller files, but a theme, page builder, CDN or cached template can still serve original URLs. TinySharp makes this visible by separating optimization, WebP/AVIF creation and frontend delivery controls.
- Check whether real pages serve WebP/AVIF
- Keep delivery controls opt-in for safer rollout
- Document cache and CSS-background limitations clearly
One account everywhere

FAQ
WordPress image optimization questions
These answers are written for site owners who want a safe and transparent image workflow.
Does TinySharp replace original images automatically?
TinySharp is designed as a safe-first optimizer. Replacement and frontend delivery are controlled settings so users can test before changing a production site.
Can I use it without an account?
The WordPress.org plugin includes local functionality without forcing a paid account. A TinySharp API key adds hosted quota, connected site tracking and shared usage across TinySharp products.
Does it support WebP and AVIF?
Yes. TinySharp can create WebP/AVIF variants and includes frontend delivery controls so you can verify what visitors receive.
Do CSS background images always change to WebP?
Not always. CSS background images, hardcoded URLs and cached page-builder output may need manual updates or cache clearing. TinySharp explains this instead of hiding it.
How many sites can I connect?
Free accounts support 1 connected WordPress site. Premium supports 5 sites. Agency supports 25 sites. Website tools and the Chrome extension share quota but do not count as connected WordPress sites.
