Simple Image Convert

Maxwell CohnMaxwell Cohn4 downloads

Convert and compress images to WebP from the file menu.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates2

I built this because the current image conversion offerings are more comprehensive than I need. They're generally excellent tools, but I really just want to convert/compress images that I get from my phone.

The goal of this plugin is to enable very basic image compression without many options. At the moment (and for the foreseeable future), only WebP is supported as a target format. It offers good quality to size performance and it's widely compatible. I may add support for other target formats in the future, but maybe not.

The reason to keep this so small and targeted is to reduce the surface area for bugs and security concerns. I want this to do a very specific job and be easy to maintain so it's a well functioning plugin for years to come.

Development

I built this on 2026-10-22 using Claude Opus 5.5. All the code was manually reviewed by me in incremental phases.

About
Convert images to to more space efficient versions. Currently only WebP is supported. In the file menu for images, an option is added to convert the image to WebP. This is useful if your only goal is to save space on image files. I personally use it for compression imagine on mobile to avoid inflating the size of my vault. This plugin is explicitly minimal in scope. The only goal is to decrease the size of files and convert them to WebP to accomplish that.
