 * I’m using your image optimization plugin and wondering how to prioritize certain
   image formats over others. Is WebP compression enabled by default, or do I need
   to manually switch it on? Also, will it affect my current thumbnails?

 * Hi,
 * I’ll gladly assist you here!
 * There’s currently **no way to prioritize certain image formats** during bulk 
   optimization in Imagify. However, if you want to focus on specific images, you
   can manually optimize them from the **Media Library** by bulk-selecting the ones
   you prefer.
 * As for **WebP compression**, it’s **not enabled by default**—you’ll need to switch
   it on manually in the **Imagify settings** under the **“Next-Gen Images”** section.
 * To control which thumbnails are optimized, head to the **“Files Optimization”**
   tab in the settings. There you can select which thumbnail sizes you want Imagify
   to process. Your original thumbnails won’t be affected—they will remain as-is,
   and WebP versions will be created alongside them.
 * Let me know if you’d like help adjusting these settings!
