About the Extension

AVIF & WebP

Modern image formats for your storefront

Avif and WebP converts the JPG and PNG images of your shop, including all thumbnails, to the modern formats AVIF and WebP. The storefront then loads the converted file for product images and Shopping Experience image elements wherever one exists, and keeps the original image otherwise.

By default, browsers without AVIF support get the WebP version. For old browsers without WebP support, you can also fall back to the original JPG or PNG.

Conversion

Converts JPG and PNG files from the media library together with their thumbnails
Choose per format whether JPG and PNG files are converted
Quality from 1 to 100, set separately for images and thumbnails (default: 80 and 60)
PNG transparency is preserved
Convert by button on the overview page or in the extension settings, every five minutes as a scheduled task, or on the command line
Before each image, a run checks PHP's execution time and memory limit and stops early when they are almost reached; the next run continues
New images, including files replaced in the media library, are added to the queue by the scheduled task, "Check for updates" or the check command

Overview in the Administration

A page under Content > Avif & WebP shows converted, pending and failed files with the progress per format
Search and filter the file list, and convert single files to AVIF or WebP
An error list shows the message for each failed file; one click puts all failed files back in the queue
Regenerate an image and all its thumbnails right from the media library
Remove generated files of deleted images, or delete all generated files of one format in the extension settings

Storefront

Product images, listings, galleries and Shopping Experience image elements use the converted files in src and srcset
SVG files and images without a converted version stay as they are
Native lazy loading for images Shopware would otherwise load right away; gallery thumbnails and image slider images still load immediately
Optional fix for gallery images shown too small
Your own base URL for the generated files, globally or per sales channel
Debug mode adds the expected file path to each image

Command line

For large media libraries, the console commands are faster:

weedesign:images2avif:index scans public/media and public/thumbnail and indexes all convertible images
weedesign:images2avif:generate converts pending images, with the options --format and --batch
weedesign:images2avif:check finds new or changed images and updates the index
weedesign:images2avif:status shows the progress and whether the server supports AVIF
weedesign:images2avif:cleanup removes the files of deleted images, with the option --dry-run

Requirements

PHP GD extension with AVIF support for AVIF files and WebP support for WebP files; the Administration shows a warning if a format isn't supported
Images in the shop's local public/media and public/thumbnail folders (no external storage such as S3)

Ich bin begeistert von den Plugins von weedesign! Besonders Wolfgang überzeugt durch seine blitzschnelle, freundliche und extrem hilfsbereite Unterstützung. Egal, welche Frage oder welches Anliegen man hat – die Antwort kommt prompt und kompetent.
Die Plugins selbst laufen fehlerfrei, sind sauber programmiert und funktionieren auf Anhieb ohne irgendwelche Probleme. Man merkt einfach, dass hier mit viel Know-how und Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet wird.
Ganz klare Empfehlung – sowohl die Produkte als auch der Support sind erstklassig!
