Reviews
what people actually sayPerfect Images is generally well-regarded for ease of use, WebP/AVIF conversion, and thumbnail management, but a small number of users report serious reliability issues including site outages and browser tab freezes during bulk processing.
What people like
- +Easy to use and straightforward to set up×8
- +Effective WebP and AVIF image conversion with good output quality×3
- +Ability to permanently disable unused WordPress thumbnail sizes, which competing plugins lack
- +Dashboard shows images with outdated thumbnail sizes and allows bulk regeneration including deletion of old sizes
- +Resolves srcset and image sharpness issues×2
- +Author is responsive and keeps the plugin updated×3
Common complaints
- −Bulk processing freezes or crashes the browser tab at around 50 images or more
- −No background processing mode for bulk operations; all work runs in the browser
- −Dashboard lacks search functionality, making it hard to locate specific images in large libraries
- −No option to process only images not yet converted to modern formats; users must choose between 'all' or a fixed count, with no incremental upgrade path
- −Persistent admin notices (e.g. Photon conflict warning) cannot be dismissed
- −Caused random, complete site outages on a production site on two separate occasions
- −At least one user reported images not displaying after following setup instructions
