Free WordPress plugin
JYP Image Transparency Converter
Prepare your images directly in WordPress. Remove backgrounds, resize images, convert formats, and process multiple files without leaving your Media Library.
JYP Image Transparency Converter is designed to make repetitive image preparation quicker and less tedious. Configure your conversion settings, select the images you need, and let WordPress handle the rest.
Converted images are saved and registered in the WordPress Media Library just like normally uploaded files.
Created by JYP - Just Your Plugin.
What you can do
Make image backgrounds transparent
Convert a selected background colour to transparency. The plugin uses the top-left pixel as the background reference and lets you control how much colour variation should be included.
Resize images
Set the required width and height and choose whether the original proportions should be preserved during conversion.
Choose your output format
Convert images to PNG or WebP depending on how you want the resulting files to be used on your website.
Process multiple images
Select several images and process them using the same conversion settings instead of repeating the same operation for every file.
Conversion settings
The plugin keeps the conversion process straightforward while providing control over the settings that matter.
Background tolerance
Controls how similar a colour can be to the sampled background before it is made transparent. Adjust the tolerance when the background contains slightly different shades.
Output format
Choose the format used for converted images. PNG is useful when transparency and lossless output are important, while WebP can provide a smaller file size for web use.
Image dimensions
Define the target dimensions for converted images and choose whether the original aspect ratio should be preserved.
Output location
Choose where converted files should be stored and decide whether the original directory structure should be preserved.
Process many images at once
Preparing a large collection of images one by one quickly becomes repetitive. JYP Image Transparency Converter lets you process multiple files using the same settings.
Batch conversion
Select multiple images and apply the same conversion settings to all of them in one operation.
Process local folders
Process the contents of a local directory, including files inside subdirectories, when working with larger image collections.
Prepare a complete collection
Configure your conversion once and use the same settings across the selected files for more consistent results.
Converted images become WordPress media
Converted files are not simply left somewhere in the uploads directory. The plugin registers each successfully converted image as a normal WordPress attachment.
Use converted images normally
Converted images appear in the WordPress Media Library and can be selected and used just like images uploaded manually.
Standard media registration
The plugin uses the standard WordPress attachment system when adding converted images to the Media Library.
Generated image sizes
WordPress can generate the configured intermediate image sizes and store the corresponding metadata for the converted image.
Keep your images organised
Keep originals separate
Converted files use the -t suffix by default, making them
easy to distinguish from the original images.
Preserve folder structure
When processing directories, the plugin can preserve the original directory structure in the output location.
Keep the original files
Prepare converted copies without having to replace the original image files in your collection.
See what is happening
Image conversion can take some time when processing a large number of files. The plugin provides a progress panel so you can follow the current conversion task.
Follow the conversion
See which images have been processed and follow the progress of the current conversion task.
Keep working in WordPress
Conversion actions are performed asynchronously, helping you continue working in WordPress while selected images are being processed.
Built for WordPress
JYP Image Transparency Converter works with the standard WordPress media system, keeping converted images inside the workflow you already use.
Native WordPress workflow
Converted images are registered as WordPress media items and remain available through the normal Media Library.
Uses available image processing
The plugin uses Imagick or GD depending on what is available on your WordPress installation.
Works with the uploads system
Converted files are stored using the WordPress uploads system and registered using the standard attachment API.
Automate image conversion
Image preparation does not have to remain a manual task. The plugin also provides options for integrating conversion into automated workflows.
Convert images programmatically
Use the REST API to send files or directories for conversion and define the required conversion settings through the request.
Use the command line
Run image conversion from the command line and integrate it into existing development, deployment, or automation workflows.
Extend the workflow
Developer hooks allow the conversion process to be integrated into custom WordPress functionality.
