Convert Blog Images to WebP Without Ruining Screenshots

Blogs mix photographs and screenshots. Photos want quality 80; screenshots with text want 88–92. Convert them in two batches and your archive pages stop weighing a megabyte each.

Split the folder

Put photos in one folder, screenshots in another. Run the converter twice with different quality sliders. That single habit beats any generic 'compress all' plugin.

Why it matters

  • Tag and category pages stack 10 covers.
  • Editors paste 2× Retina screenshots.
  • Old posts are a silent PageSpeed leak.

How to do it

  1. Export Media Library or static images.
  2. Photos: 1400 px / 80%. Screenshots: 1400 px / 90%.
  3. Replace in the CMS. Keep captions and alt.

Settings that work

Content column 680–800 px CSS does not need a 2400 px file. 1400 px is plenty for retina.

Convert a batch in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
