We unify **next-generation compression (WebP & AVIF)**, **automated cloud storage offload (freeing up hosting disk space)**, and **Global Anycast Edge CDN delivery** into one seamless, zero-maintenance workflow.

Traditional plugins process images on your hosting server, consuming CPU and RAM that should be reserved for your visitors. SmallPict handles conversions on high- speed cloud infrastructure, keeping your server fast and responsive. ### How does Cloud Storage Offload free my server disk space? SmallPict securely stores your media assets in high-performance cloud storage and safely frees up local upload space on your hosting server once cloud storage is confirmed. This keeps your server lean and avoids expensive hosting storage upgrades. ### What prevents broken images if a cloud transfer fails? SmallPict includes built-in safety controls. If an upload cannot be fully completed, the process stops immediately and your local files remain completely intact, eliminating the risk of missing images or broken links. ### Do I need a third-party cloud storage account or custom DNS records? No. SmallPict provides a fully managed service. You do not need to register separate cloud accounts, manage access credentials, or configure custom DNS records. Cloud storage and global edge delivery work out of the box with 1 click. ### How are animated images handled on the Free plan? On the Free plan, animated images are safely preserved in their original format in your Media Library without errors or interrupted uploads. ### Can I use one subscription across multiple WordPress sites? Yes! Starter, Pro, and Business plans feature **Unlimited Connected Websites with Shared Quota Pooling**, allowing you to connect client websites or a network of sites to one account. ### What happens if I reach my monthly quota? If your site reaches its monthly optimization quota, subsequent uploads simply save as standard WordPress media without optimization. All previously optimized images and cloud assets continue serving normally without interruption. Quotas reset automatically at the start of your billing cycle. ### Is SmallPict compatible with WooCommerce and page builders? Yes! SmallPict integrates directly into standard WordPress media handling, making it fully compatible with WooCommerce product galleries, Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, Bricks, and all custom themes. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SmallPict – Next-Gen Image Optimization, Cloud Storage Offload & Global Edge CDN” is open source software.

photo support — iPhone and Android camera photos are now converted through SmallPict into web-ready formats (WebP, AVIF, or JPEG) based on your format strategy. * New: Clear HEIC upload guidance — replaced the generic WordPress HEIC warning with a message explaining the actual cause (WordPress older than 6.7 or the hosting server’s Imagick lacking HEIC support). * Improvement: Real image format detection from file contents, so HEIC photos already converted to JPEG by WordPress 6.7+ are no longer skipped. * Improvement: A JPEG fallback is always generated for HEIC photos in Dual and Disabled modes, since browsers cannot display HEIC. * Fix: HEIC photos are no longer misidentified as animations. * Reliability: Failed HEIC conversions are reported clearly and left unprocessed so they can be retried. * Improvement: Leaner WordPress.org release package — tests, development tools, and internal documentation are excluded. #### 1.2.4 * New: Organic Referral Attribution — added lightweight HTML comment attribution in footer (``) to support organic word-of-mouth adoption. * New: Privacy & Admin Control — added administrative opt-out setting (`smallpict_enable_attribution`) allowing site owners to easily enable or disable frontend footer comments. * Improvement: Modernized Free vs. Pro comparison in documentation with value-driven, accessible language and direct pricing links. * Reliability: Enhanced HTML delivery engine guardrails to safely bypass RSS feeds, AMP pages, and administrative interfaces. #### 1.2.3 * New: Pure 1-to-1 Deterministic Format Strategy — WebP and AVIF modes transcode media directly to native modern attachments, freeing raw uncompressed source files from local hosting disk space. * New: Max Image Dimension Threshold — automated downscaling of ultra-high-resolution raw uploads (e.g. 1600px, 1920px, 2048px, 2560px) integrated with WordPress big_image_size_threshold to prevent server bloat. * Improvement: Modernized settings UI with clean single-choice format strategy selector and interactive fallback rule controls. * Performance: Optimized cloud conversion dispatch plan capping requests to exactly 1 in native modern format mode. * Security: Strengthened cloud storage transport protocols and network communication safeguards. * Security: Enhanced filesystem path validation and boundary containment checks during local media cleanup. * Security: Upgraded credential storage to authenticated encryption (AES-256-GCM) with secure salt resolution. * Improvement: Ensured seamless backward compatibility with existing encrypted keys and connected accounts. #### 1.2.2 * New: Direct “Connect with API Key” support in onboarding and reconnection modal with automatic splitting of 1-click credentials (`apiKey:secretKey`). * New: Multi-Site Deployment (Option B) — paid WordPress accounts can deploy their dashboard API keys across unlimited WordPress sites sharing the plan’s quota. * Security: Hardened HMAC-SHA256 request signing with replay protection (5-minute timestamp drift window) and AES-256-CBC encryption at rest for secret keys in WordPress options. #### 1.2.1 * New: In-Plugin Reconnect Flow — added interactive Reconnect button & OTP modal under Cloud Account & Quota tab. * New: Dynamic Cloud Engine Health Check — live roundtrip latency measurement and status reporting (Connected • ms, Disconnected / Invalid Key, Unreachable). * Improvement: Enhanced Re-sync Status to proactively detect revoked or invalid keys and guide administrators to reconnect. * Fix: Streamlined reconnection flow to regenerate and restore active WordPress API keys without manual database intervention. #### 1.2.0 * New: CDN & Storage Workbench — dedicated management for global edge delivery and cloud storage offload. * New: Cloud Storage Offload — safely offload media to cloud storage and reclaim local hosting disk space. * New: Multi-format animation optimization — automatically optimize animated GIFs, APNGs, and animated WebPs. * New: Tiered animation support and graceful bypass for Free plan uploads. * Improvement: Upgraded cloud processing engine for faster, more reliable conversions. * Improvement:

cycles. * New: Streamlined email verification onboarding flow. * New: Account management dashboard with real-time connection status. * Improvement: Enhanced plan upgrade detection and capabilities synchronization. * Improvement: Optimized background synchronization and error handling. * Fix: Resolved usage display and UI synchronization issues. #### 1.1.7 * Enhancement: Updated repository
