Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records WebP Image Paster version 1.0.3 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
WebP Image Paster streamlines your media workflow within the WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor. Simply paste from your clipboard or drag and drop any image directly into the editor, set a filename, choose your preferred format (ORIG, WebP, PNG), and it will be processed and uploaded directly to your media library.
Key Features
Clipboard Paste & Drag-and-Drop: Seamlessly catches images pasted or dropped into the Gutenberg editor.
Direct Featured Image Drag-and-Drop: Drop photos directly onto the Gutenberg sidebar ‘Featured Image’ panel to automatically convert to WebP and set as the post’s featured image.
HEIC / HEIF Format Support: Easily drag & drop or paste photos from Google Photos and Apple iOS devices; automatically decoded and converted on-the-fly to WebP/JPG/PNG.
Multi-Image Drag-and-Drop Gallery: Drop multiple images at once to batch process them and insert them as a Gutenberg Gallery block.
Keep Original Format (ORIG): Supports an ‘ORIG’ option to upload files directly without re-compression, preserving GIF animations, AVIF compression, and original qualities.
Smart Block Placement & Replacement: Inserts images at exact drop locations, replaces empty paragraph blocks, or updates existing image blocks upon drop.
Smart Dimension Detection & Upscaling Control: Detects and displays natural image width directly on the Orig button, prevents accidental blurriness by disabling larger presets by default, and includes a toggle to allow upscaling when needed.
Client-side Image Conversion: Converts raw image data directly in your browser using HTML5 Canvas for ultra-fast processing.
Format Selection: Choose between ORIG, WebP, and PNG formats with dynamic format detection.
Smart Size-Guard & Auto Fallback: Automatically preserves the original format if converting would increase file size, preventing unnecessary bloat and quality loss.
Custom Filename & Alt Text: Easily specify filenames and automatically generate SEO-friendly Alt text.
Preset Widths: Choose quick width presets (360px, 540px, 720px, 1080px, 1440px) or upload original dimensions.
Automatic Block Insertion: Automatically uploads the processed file to the Media Library and inserts an Image Block into your post.
