Description
WebP Image Paster streamlines your media workflow within the WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor. Simply paste from your clipboard or drag and drop any image directly into the editor, set a filename, choose your preferred format (ORIG, WebP, PNG), and it will be processed and uploaded directly to your media library.
Key Features
- Clipboard Paste & Drag-and-Drop: Seamlessly catches images pasted or dropped into the Gutenberg editor.
- Direct Featured Image Drag-and-Drop: Drop photos directly onto the Gutenberg sidebar ‘Featured Image’ panel to automatically convert to WebP and set as the post’s featured image.
- HEIC / HEIF Format Support: Easily drag & drop or paste photos from Google Photos and Apple iOS devices; automatically decoded and converted on-the-fly to WebP/JPG/PNG.
- Multi-Image Drag-and-Drop Gallery: Drop multiple images at once to batch process them and insert them as a Gutenberg Gallery block.
- Keep Original Format (ORIG): Supports an ‘ORIG’ option to upload files directly without re-compression, preserving GIF animations, AVIF compression, and original qualities.
- Smart Block Placement & Replacement: Inserts images at exact drop locations, replaces empty paragraph blocks, or updates existing image blocks upon drop.
- Smart Dimension Detection & Upscaling Control: Detects and displays natural image width directly on the Orig button, prevents accidental blurriness by disabling larger presets by default, and includes a toggle to allow upscaling when needed.
- Client-side Image Conversion: Converts raw image data directly in your browser using HTML5 Canvas for ultra-fast processing.
- Format Selection: Choose between ORIG, WebP, and PNG formats with dynamic format detection.
- Smart Size-Guard & Auto Fallback: Automatically preserves the original format if converting would increase file size, preventing unnecessary bloat and quality loss.
- Custom Filename & Alt Text: Easily specify filenames and automatically generate SEO-friendly Alt text.
- Preset Widths: Choose quick width presets (360px, 540px, 720px, 1080px, 1440px) or upload original dimensions.
- Automatic Block Insertion: Automatically uploads the processed file to the Media Library and inserts an Image Block into your post.
