    Hi Marko,

    If there is a specific image that I already converted to webp using my own tool that I am happy with the file size and quality, can I upload this image to replace the one that was created by the plugin (same name), and it all still works?

    Another words, the plugin is able to still create the <picture> tags etc to detect the browser and deliver webp when appropriate?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    If you’ve already created your own WebP version of an image and want to replace the one Imagify generated, here are a few points to keep in mind:

    1. File Naming and Compatibility: Imagify typically names WebP images in a .jpg.webp format to ensure smooth fallback to the original format. Uploading a WebP file directly may not integrate seamlessly with the <picture> tag Imagify generates, as the plugin’s conversion structure won’t detect your manually uploaded WebP files the same way.
    2. Selective Exclusion from Next-Gen: If there are just a few specific images you’d prefer to keep as is, you can add a custom HTML class to prevent them from being displayed in Next-Gen format:
      • For WebP, use imagify-no-webp
      • For AVIF, use imagify-no-avif

    This way, Imagify will skip optimization for these images, while still converting others.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    Saransh
