That is correct, only new images will be converted. If you need to convert existing images, I recommend you try our other plugin, EWWW Image Optimizer. And make a backup first, converting images is dangerous, due to the risk of broken links.

tryed EWWW Image Optimizer but so many options that i got confused and end up deleting it,
just tried a simplier png to jpg converter and now i feel the images load slow, looks something odd, not sure what might be happening,
didn’t take into consideration the fact format conversion also changes url on so many tables, damn it, should had just delete and reupload each and everyone, was a pain in the ass but looks safer,
see? thats what happend when you give access to someone else to your website, you tell them to upload jpg, and they end up giving you 10x the work.
That’s weird for a PNG to JPG convertor to slow down your site, but converting with EWWW IO is easy:
1. backup your site
2. Enable PNG to JPG (optionally set a background/fill color)
3. Run a bulk optimize
4. Make sure no broken links
