PrestaShop WebP Product Images

PrestaShop regenerates product image types from a master. A WebP (or correctly sized JPEG) master makes `regenerate thumbnails` finish and category grids stop shipping 400 KB tiles.

Masters and image types

Admin > Preferences > Images defines types (cart, home, large). All of them derive from the product master. Replace masters with 1400–1600 px WebP, then regenerate once.

Why it matters

  • Category pages show 20–40 products.
  • Regeneration on cheap hosting dies on 8 MB masters.
  • Modules that add WebP often duplicate every type.

How to do it

  1. Export product images.
  2. Convert to WebP at 1600 px / 80%.
  3. Re-upload or replace on disk following PrestaShop's hashed paths, then regenerate.

Settings that work

Large type often 800–1000 px display; a 1600 px master is enough for retina.

Convert a batch in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, when enabled in image settings and the server has support. Uploading WebP masters is the straightforward approach.

If you only replace masters, regenerate so types update. Otherwise the cache still has old JPEGs.
