Your images, half the size, using hardware you already pay for
LemonCompress converts everything on your WordPress site to AVIF and WebP and serves them automatically. It runs on your own server, so there's nothing to meter — no credits, no monthly bill, no per-image fee. £120 and it's yours.
Or ten payments of £12 if that's easier. Same price either way.
Your photos get uploaded to somebody's servers, processed there, and sent back. You pay per image, or per credit, or per month — forever. Write descriptions with their AI and that's a separate credit meter again. Stop paying and it stops working.
Your server does the work, with the image tools already sitting on it. Your photos never leave. There is no per-image cost to us, so there's none to pass to you — which is exactly why this can be a one-off price instead of a subscription.
Three steps, then forget about it
The plugin checks what your host can do and tells you straight away what you'll get.
It works through your existing library in small batches, so nothing times out. New uploads convert on their own from then on.
One click writes the serving rule. Every visitor starts getting the smaller file from that moment.
Everything, for one price
Every conversion happens on your own server, using the image tools already installed on it. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, so nothing can be metered — and your clients' photos never sit on someone else's machine.
New uploads convert as they arrive. Everything already in your media library converts on a button press, in small batches so a big library never times out.
A browser asking for photo.jpg quietly gets photo.jpg.avif instead when it supports it. No theme edits, no rewritten image tags, no shortcodes. Anything that doesn't support it gets the original, exactly as before.
Lossless when the file matters more than the bytes, smallest when speed matters more, and a balanced middle setting you genuinely can't tell from the original. Change your mind whenever.
Most tools quietly throw your camera data and copyright fields away. This one asks. Leave it off for the smallest files and no location leaking out of a shoot; turn it on when that metadata is part of your work.
Alt text and meta descriptions for every photo, generated locally from its EXIF, its location, and your own keywords — in your words, following a style prompt you write yourself. Anything you've already written by hand is left alone.
Converted copies sit alongside your originals. Nothing is overwritten, nothing is deleted — not on install, not on uninstall. If you ever remove the plugin, your media library is exactly as you left it.
It checks what your server can genuinely do and tells you plainly. If AVIF isn't available on your host, it says so rather than quietly giving you something else.
Pay once, own it
A typical image plugin runs about £8 a month — roughly £100 every year, forever. This is £120 once.
Your licence key is emailed here the moment payment clears.
Paid through Stripe. Either way you own it outright at £120 — the monthly option just splits it.
Fair questions
Is this a subscription?
No. It's £120 and then it's yours. The £12/month option is the same £120 split over ten months — after the tenth payment the billing stops on its own and you own it outright. There's no renewal after that, ever.
What happens if a monthly payment fails?
Compression and next-gen delivery pause, and the plugin tells you plainly that the payment hasn't cleared. Nothing is deleted — every converted file stays exactly where it is on your server. Sort the payment (or pay the remaining balance in one go) and everything picks up instantly, with nothing to re-convert.
Why is there no AI credit meter?
Because the descriptions are written on your own server rather than sent to a paid API. There's no per-image cost to pass on to you, so there's nothing to meter. That's the whole reason this is a one-off price and the cloud-based tools aren't.
Will it work on my host?
Compression works anywhere that has Imagick or GD, which is effectively every WordPress host. AVIF needs a reasonably current server; the plugin checks and tells you what you'll actually get. Automatic serving uses .htaccess on Apache, and there's a ready-made nginx snippet if you're on nginx.
How many sites can I use it on?
One licence covers one site. Running several? Get in touch before you buy and we'll sort something sensible out.
What happens to my images if I stop using it?
They stay. Deactivating removes the serving rules so your site goes back to its original images, and uninstalling doesn't delete a single generated file. Your media library is never held hostage.
Stop renting image compression
£120 once, or ten payments of £12. Then it's yours, running on your own server.
