Optimize images with WebP/AVIF conversion + FREE Unused Image Scanner. 100 lifetime free optimizations!

== Description ==

**The ONLY free image optimizer with an Unused Image Scanner!**

WBN Image Optimizer helps you create faster WordPress sites by converting images to modern formats (WebP/AVIF) and cleaning up unused images that waste storage space.

### 🎯 Why Choose WBN Image Optimizer?

**Unique Scanner Feature (FREE!)** - Find and remove images not used anywhere on your site. No other free plugin has this!

**100 Lifetime Free Optimizations** - Not 20/month that resets. 100 optimizations for the lifetime of your site. Simple and honest.

**Modern Formats** - Convert to WebP (60-70% smaller) or AVIF (up to 80% smaller) while maintaining visual quality.

**Safe & Reversible** - Automatic backups before every optimization. Restore originals with one click.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is this really free? =

Yes! 100 lifetime free optimizations + Unused Image Scanner. The Pro version adds higher quotas and multi-site licensing.

= What makes this different from other image optimizers? =

We're the ONLY free image optimizer with an Unused Image Scanner. Plus 100 lifetime optimizations (not monthly limits).

= Are my original images safe? =

Absolutely! Every image is automatically backed up before optimization. You can restore originals anytime with one click.

= What's the difference between WebP and AVIF? =

* **WebP** - Widely supported, 60-70% smaller files
* **AVIF** - Newer format, up to 80% smaller, but less browser support

Both are safe to use - WordPress provides automatic fallbacks for older browsers.

= How does the Unused Image Scanner work? =

It scans your entire Media Library and checks if each image is used in:
* Featured images
* WooCommerce product galleries
* Gallery shortcodes
* Post/page content
* Site icons and logos

If not found anywhere, it's marked as unused.

= Can I optimize existing images? =

Yes! Use "Select Images" to choose any images from your Media Library and optimize them.

= Will this work with my theme? =

Yes! WBN Image Optimizer works with any WordPress theme. It optimizes images in your Media Library.

= Does it work with WooCommerce? =

Yes! The "Products" preset is specifically designed for WooCommerce product images.

= What happens when I reach 100 optimizations? =

You've used your lifetime quota. You can:
1. Manually optimize images with other tools
2. Upgrade to Pro for 120/month
3. Still use the Scanner feature (always free!)

= Can I restore optimized images? =

Yes! Every original is automatically backed up. Go to any image in Media Library and click "Restore Original".

= Will this slow down my site? =

No! Optimization happens in your WordPress admin, not on the frontend. Your site will actually be FASTER with smaller images.

= What PHP version do I need? =

PHP 7.4 or higher. We recommend PHP 8.0+ for best performance.

= Does it work with Multisite? =

Yes! Each site in your network gets its own 100 lifetime optimizations.
