## Description

Most WordPress image optimizers make you create an account, paste an API key, or
buy per-image credits. **Cleanor Tools** doesn’t. It shrinks the images in your 
Media Library and converts them to modern formats (WebP / AVIF) using the free [Cleanor Labs](https://cleanor.app/)
endpoint — no signup, no key, no credits. Lighter images mean faster page loads,
higher PageSpeed / Core Web Vitals scores, and less storage used.

Point-and-forget: turn it on and every new upload is optimized automatically, thumbnails
included. Already have thousands of images? Run the one-click bulk optimizer.

#### What makes it different

 * **No account, no API key, no credits.** The default endpoint is free and key-
   free — you’re optimizing within a minute of activating, with nothing to sign 
   up for.
 * **AVIF, not just WebP.** Convert to AVIF (the smallest mainstream format) as 
   easily as WebP, straight from the Media Library.
 * **Backed by open data.** Our savings figures come from published, reproducible
   benchmarks (open dataset with a citable DOI), not marketing claims.
 * **Full-library bulk mode.** Optimize every existing image with a progress bar
   you can leave running.
 * **Keeps your originals (optional).** Store a `.bak` of every source file so you
   can revert.
 * **Transparent.** A “Cleanor” column in the Media Library shows exactly how much
   each image shrank, plus a running total on the settings screen.
 * **Lightweight.** No giant framework, no tracking, no ads in your dashboard.

#### What it does

 1. On upload (or on demand), the full-size image and every generated thumbnail are
    sent to the Cleanor endpoint.
 2. Each is re-encoded to your chosen format and quality.
 3. The optimized versions replace the originals in your Media Library, and WordPress
    serves the smaller files everywhere they are used.
 4. Images that would not get smaller are left untouched.

#### Formats

 * **WebP**: best browser support; a safe default for almost every site.
 * **AVIF**: smallest files; supported by all current major browsers.
 * **Recompress (keep format)**: re-encode JPEGs smaller without changing the format
   or URL.

#### Privacy

Images are transmitted to the optimization endpoint you configure (by default `https://
mcp.cleanor.app`) purely to be re-encoded, and only the optimized bytes are returned.
Cleanor does not require an account and does not retain your images. You can point
the plugin at your own self-hosted endpoint if you prefer. See our privacy policy
at https://cleanor.app/privacy.

This plugin is a service integration: it relies on the external Cleanor API to perform
optimization. Nothing else is sent.

## Installation

 1. In your dashboard go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**, choose `cleanor-tools.
    zip`, and click **Install Now**. (Or copy the `cleanor-tools` folder into `wp-content/
    plugins/`.)
 2. Click **Activate**.
 3. Open the new **Cleanor** menu, go to **Settings**, click **Test connection**, pick
    a compression preset and format, and **Save changes**.
 4. New uploads are now optimized automatically. To process your existing library, 
    open **Cleanor  Bulk Optimize** and click **Start optimizing**.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account or API key?

No. The default endpoint is free and key-free (rate-limited per site). An API-key
field is included for future plans and self-hosting.

### Will this break my existing image URLs?

When converting to WebP/AVIF, the file extension changes and WordPress is updated
to serve the new file everywhere it references the attachment. Old direct hot-links
to the previous file extension would need updating; content that uses the Media 
Library normally is handled automatically. Choose “Recompress (keep format)” if 
you want URLs to stay identical.

### Can I keep my original files?

Yes. Enable **Keep a .bak copy of the original file** in settings. Each replaced
file is preserved as `filename.ext.bak`.

### Does it optimize thumbnails too?

Yes, when **Also convert generated thumbnail sizes** is enabled (default on).

### Which image types are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF sources. GIF and SVG are skipped for safety.

### Can I use my own optimization server?

Yes. Set the **API endpoint** to any server that implements the Cleanor `/v1/optimize`
contract.

### Is it multisite compatible?

Settings and stats are per-site.
