Feature set

Focused capabilities without the bloat

Built to solve one important workflow properly, with a cleaner admin experience and less manual effort.

No server ffmpeg needed

Encoding runs in the editor's browser via WebAssembly, so it works on managed hosting with no shell access at all.

Web-ready faststart MP4

H.264 at max 1080p with CRF 23, AAC audio and +faststart, so playback starts immediately on mobile connections.

Private by design

Videos never leave the browser during processing — no third-party transcoding service, no per-minute fees.

Media Library audit

A 'Web-ready' column flags large, high-bitrate or non-faststart videos with the exact reasons and a one-click fix link.

How it works

Straightforward from drop to done

1

Open Media → Optimize Video and drop in a raw MP4 or MOV

2

The plugin transcodes it in your browser with a live progress bar — nothing is uploaded until it finishes

3

The optimised, faststart MP4 (plus optional WebM) is saved straight into the Media Library

4

The 'Web-ready' column confirms it — and flags any other videos that still need optimising
