Compress images for WordPress

WordPress stores every image size variation you upload — a single 5MB photo can generate 5+ thumbnails and eat 25MB of server space. Skwish compresses the original before you upload, so every generated size is lighter.

WordPress image optimization workflow

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Compress images before uploading — WordPress generates multiple thumbnail sizes from the original, so a lighter source means every variant is lighter too.

Combine with WebP conversion: most WordPress caching and optimization plugins serve WebP automatically when the original is available.

If your host limits upload size (common on shared hosting), pre-compress to under 2MB to avoid the 'exceeds maximum upload size' error.
