| Pros | Converts images to WebP and AVIF on upload or in bulk; Resizing and compression from the WordPress media area | Resizes uploads automatically, with no action from the contributor; Separate size limits for Media Library and other uploads; Bulk resize and per-image resize from the Media Library |
| Cons | Needs an Elementor account connection before optimisation runs; Upgrade prompts and licence checks tie full use to a paid plan | Replaces the original, so the full-size file cannot be recovered; Uses the standard WordPress resize, so output is not heavily optimised; No paid edition; support is through the WordPress.org forum |
