About this plugin
Tired of spending hours editing product photos with external software before uploading them to your store? Xray Image Optimizer compresses, resizes and converts your WooCommerce images to Next-Gen WebP directly from your WordPress dashboard, without any external service or API. No store?
It works on any WordPress site too, for the Featured Images of your posts and pages.
Heavy product photos are the number one cause of slow WooCommerce stores. Xray fixes this at the source: every image you add through the Studio is optimized before it ever reaches your catalog, so your pages stay light, your Core Web Vitals stay green and your Google PageSpeed Insights score goes up.
Managing a product catalog shouldn’t be a full-time job. With Xray you eliminate the round-trip through Photoshop or online compressors and centralise image compression, cropping and image SEO inside a native WooCommerce interface.
Why store owners choose Xray
- Built for WooCommerce, not bolted on. The optimizer lives on the product edit screen, next to the Featured Image and Gallery, exactly where you work.
- Real image compression + WebP conversion. JPG and PNG uploads are compressed and saved as WebP on the fly, typically cutting file weight by 60-80% with no visible quality loss. Your original file is kept as a backup.
- Faster LCP and PageSpeed. Lighter product images mean a faster Largest Contentful Paint on shop and product pages, which helps both conversions and SEO.
- Image SEO metadata in one place. Set Alt Text, Title, Caption and Description for every image from the Studio, and let Xray rename files from IMG_4921.jpg to blue-running-shoe.webp for Google Images.
- Before/After preview. An interactive slider shows exactly what compression did before you save.
- Smart auto-crop & resize. Force a clean 1:1 ratio and cap oversized images so your grid stays consistent and your server stays happy.
- Works on any WordPress site. WooCommerce is not required: set optimized WebP Featured Images on standard posts and pages too.
Free vs PRO
The free version optimizes every image you upload or edit through the Xray Studio. If you also need to:
- batch-optimize and convert your entire existing Media Library to WebP in one click,
- automatically watermark product images,
- generate Alt Text with AI,
- see a real-time savings dashboard (images optimized, MB saved, WebP conversions),
- one-click backup & restore of originals,
- export / import settings across sites,
those are available in Xray PRO.
How it works
- Drag & drop your files into the native WooCommerce Studio box.
- Xray crops, compresses and generates a WebP version on the fly while preserving quality; check the result with the Before/After slider.
- Images are attached to the product (or post/page) with optimized SEO metadata, ready to rank on Google Images.
