Enable modern image formats
Master toggle, on by default. Only affects new uploads — existing library images are unaffected until re-uploaded or regenerated with a tool like Regenerate Thumbnails.
Modern Image Formats
Modern Image Formats
Section titled “Modern Image Formats”Automatically generate WebP/AVIF versions of uploaded images.
Aurora → Settings → Productivity → Modern Image Formats automatically generates a modern-format copy of every size of a newly uploaded JPEG or PNG, and serves it to browsers that support it.
Output format
Automatic (AVIF, falling back to WebP) by default — prefers AVIF for smaller files and a wider quality range where the server supports it. If the server supports neither, generation is silently skipped.
Serve via <picture> element
Rewrites <img> tags in post content and thumbnails into a <picture> element offering the modern format, with the original JPEG/PNG as fallback. Turn this off if it conflicts with your theme’s image styling, while still generating the files for other tools to use.
