🧞‍♀️ How Pixy Works

As soon as Pixy is active, it makes optimized copies of your original images in real time. It compresses them and converts them to WebP and AVIF formats. The correct optimized format is then chosen automatically based on the visitor’s browser, making your images fully compatible with new and old browsers.
