Exactly what I needed
Fastest 5 star review I've ever left. Woocommerce store with thousands of existing products and more added daily. We have to source our product images from various suppliers and manufacturers, all whom save their images in different formats and sizes. Some of which have a lot of unnecessary white space which affects all of our product thumbnails. So some products look smaller than others on archive galleries. You can use the built in crop tool on woocommerce so they're all 1:1 but it will obviously crop some of your images which looks horrendous. This tool with a click of a button processed all our images, removed all the unnecessary white space and resized them so now every single product image appears the same size. Preprocessing our images in photoshop would be an impossible task as we already have thousands of images and add more daily. This took 5 minutes to setup. Let the bulk gen run and walk away. Come back and it's finished. I upgraded to the pro version which was on sale. Lifetime license for the cost of a one year subscription. Now not only do all the products appear uniform but are displayed in webp which Imagify wouldn't do for thumbnails.

Only works halfway
The plugin creates new images but does not change the original. Many of the current (premium) themes automatically change the uploaded images to .webp. Because these are so small, they use the original for zoom images, product thumbnails and lightbox. I manage 10+ webshops with different premium themes and see that the images created by the plugin are only used in the product gallery and product image. The thumbs, zoom, etc. are the unmodified original image. So if the original is also modified, the plugin works 100%, now it only works half.
