    Many thanks for this great plugin, it saved me so much time! Easy to use and bulk conversion worked perfect. My favorit image quality to file size ratio on photos was 75 % JPG quality.

    Will definitely edit this review’s star rating, but my question is that before i run this plugin is that would you recommend doing a backup (other than pics?) i dont care about the original png’s since i did all the pics myself, but afraid that it sounds too good to be true (no offense intended) im hoping it is. but i used another plugin (jetpack boost) followed all the steps and just made my website slower.. Grade F in GT Metrics. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
