For WebP conversion, several existing plugins can already be found. But the combination of WebP ánd AVIF is so far unique for a free plugin. That automatically makes this the best free plugin if you want to convert your images to AVIF.No annoying ads or bloatware are present. The developers are very helpful and open to suggestions and improvements.I use the plugin to my complete satisfaction and as a thank you I have started translating it into Dutch and German language.
