Cimo Premium

From new uploads to existing media

Cimo optimizes new images in the browser before they reach the WordPress Media Library. Its image controls include WebP conversion and quality, maximum dimensions, WordPress image scaling, and thumbnail generation. Cimo Premium extends the process to media already in the library and uploads submitted through supported forms.

Choose what to process

Select existing images, videos, and audio in the Media Library for bulk optimization in one operation. This processing takes place in the browser without server-side processing. New video and audio documents are processed during upload, before they enter the Media Library; settings let you downscale video resolution and adjust audio quality.

Premium also automatically optimizes images, videos, and audio submitted through popular form extensions, including Gravity Forms, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Formidable, and Fluent Forms. Smart Optimization selects compression settings for each image to reduce manual adjustments.

For native image blocks, Low Quality Image Placeholders show a subtle placeholder while the full image loads, then fade in the loaded image. Stealth Mode hides Cimo branding and interface components while optimization features continue running in the background.

Image settings and compatibility

Under Settings > Cimo, you can adjust WebP quality, maximum image dimensions, WordPress image scaling, and thumbnail generation, and view optimization statistics. The Recommended preset sets WebP quality to 80%, the maximum image dimension to 1920px, and thumbnail generation to disabled.

Cimo is intended to work with the native WordPress Block Editor, Elementor, Divi, Breakdance, Bricks Builder, Oxygen, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Stackable, Spectra, Kadence, Greenshift, GenerateBlocks, and WooCommerce. Divi support is partial because dropping files is not supported.

Installation and setup

1. Install and activate Cimo Premium in WordPress.
2. Open Settings > Cimo and review the image, thumbnail, and scaling options.
3. Apply the Recommended preset or configure the settings manually.
4. Upload new media normally, or use the Media Library bulk utilities for existing files.
5. Enable form-plugin processing, video and audio options, placeholders, or Stealth Mode as needed.

Cimo works in modern Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. In Safari, images are optimized in their original format; WebP conversion is not supported.
