Australcode Uniform Images solves the classic WooCommerce catalog problem: product photos with different proportions that the theme crops brutally to align the grid. This plugin makes them uniform without cropping — it adds smart padding over a colored canvas (white by default), optionally trims the uniform background first to normalize inconsistent margins, and delivers each thumbnail in AVIF + WebP + JPEG using the
Key differentiators
No accidental crops — the entire product fits inside the thumbnail, always. Compare with “smart crop” plugins that guess the subject and sometimes fail on small or asymmetric products.
Real
4-tier quality preset — Maximum / High / Standard / Economy with per-format values calibrated (e.g. Standard = AVIF Q60, WebP Q82, JPEG Q85 — visually indistinguishable from the original at half the size).
HPOS-ready from day one — declares custom_order_tables and cart_checkout_blocks compatibility without any setup.
Cloudflare Image Transformations (CIT) — optional integration to serve via Cloudflare edge (/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto) with automatic availability detection on your zone. If CIT is not enabled on your CF plan, the plugin keeps serving local derivatives without breaking anything.
Free (no license required)
Bulk regenerate with Action Scheduler — async processing resumable after worker death, error classification (oom, missing_original, engine_failed, fs_permission), scope filters (auto = products only based on Settings; all-used = every image referenced in posts/products/Bricks templates/terms).
Embedded sample test — processes 1-5 images on demand and shows the before/after grid with bytes and % savings. Available on the Settings page (“Quick preview”) and on Bulk regenerate (“Generate sample”).
Health page with CDN detection — engine diagnostics, encoders, filesystem permissions, detected competing plugins (Smush/EWWW/ShortPixel/Imagify), Cloudflare Polish status (alerts if active — incompatible with the plugin’s AVIF/WebP), Image Prioritizer (Performance Lab) status with automatic detection.
WP-CLI — 9 commands — 7 free: wp acimg health, stats, regenerate, derivatives
Pro (license required)
Cloudflare Image Transformations (CIT) delivery — emits with CIT URLs (/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto) instead of local derivatives when CIT is enabled on your zone. Defensive automatic fallback to the normal path if CIT is unavailable.
Media Library audit + cleanup — orphan image detector that understands Bricks Builder (PHP serialize), wp_termmeta, WooCommerce shortcodes, custom meta. Trash mode with typed confirmation, immutable audit log, and an untrash endpoint for rollback.
Image Health Monitor — weekly cron that scans for missing derivatives, stale derivatives, Cloudflare Polish conflicts, and storage usage. Email digest to the admin only when there are actionable findings.
AI Alt Text BYOK — alt text generation per attachment via OpenAI Vision (gpt-4o-mini) or Anthropic Vision (claude-haiku-4-5). Bring Your Own Key (no Merchant of Record over AI costs). Context enrichment with WooCommerce product title + category + brand.
Catalog Watch + Auto-Heal — daily cron that detects ghost derivatives (DB rows without files), orphan files (files without DB rows), products with broken thumbnails. Auto-heal with dry-run preview + strict path validation. Persistent admin notice when there are actionable issues.
Multi-Site Manager (Agency) — centralized dashboard to monitor up to 25 client sites from a single wp-admin. BYO Application Password, aggregated metrics (derivatives + bytes + issues), automatic hourly sync + ad-hoc. No external services: direct wp-admin ↔ wp-admin communication via native REST.
CIT Cost Analyzer — daily pull from Cloudflare GraphQL Analytics API. MTD cost + monthly projection + peak day to identify spikes. BYO API token (CF authenticates directly).
Integration with other plugins
Image Prioritizer / Performance Lab — Australcode Uniform Images detects fetchpriority="high" and propagates correct loading/decoding to the final
Bricks Builder — supports wp_get_attachment_image and optional output buffer rewriter for themes/page builders that bypass that filter.
WP Rocket / a3 Lazy Load — compatible with data-src/data-sizes lazy loaders (reads both if present).
v1.0 non-goals
Smart crop — would break the “no cropping” promise. If you need that, this plugin is not for you.
SaaS-only / phone home — the plugin is 100% local. All optimization happens on your own server.
JPEG XL — format still immature in browsers. We will reevaluate in 2027.

The other plugins optimize any image. Australcode Uniform Images does one job extremely well: uniform product thumbnails for WooCommerce grids, served cache-safe. If you already have one of the big plugins active, you can run Australcode side-by-side — it only touches images on registered WooCommerce sizes.
External services
This plugin connects to external services only when you explicitly enable or
use the corresponding optional feature. The free, core functionality (uniform
images, AVIF/WebP/JPEG
own server and contacts no external service.
Freemius (account, licensing & secure checkout)
Australcode uses Freemius as its billing and licensing platform (Freemius is the
Merchant of Record for Pro purchases). Connecting to Freemius is optional: on
activation you can click “Skip” and the plugin stays fully functional without
ever contacting Freemius.
If you opt in (free or Pro), the plugin sends your admin email, site
URL and basic environment data (WordPress, PHP and plugin versions) to the
Freemius API (host api.freemius.com, path /v1/) to create your account and
check for updates.
If you activate a Pro license, the plugin sends your license key and
site domain to Freemius to validate the license and enforce the per-plan
site limit. The license is re-validated periodically.
Purchases and license management happen on Freemius-hosted pages
(hosts freemius.com, users.freemius.com).
No data is sent to Freemius if you skip the opt-in and do not enter a license key.

Australcode (Family page plugin catalog)
The optional Family page (Australcode Image → Family) lists the other
plugins of the Australcode family. Only when you open that page, the plugin
fetches the current catalog from our own site (host australcode.io, path
/family.json) and caches it locally for 7 days; your browser also loads the
plugin icons shown there from australcode.io. No personal data is sent — it
is a standard HTTP request (the WordPress user agent includes your site URL).
If the request fails, a bundled offline copy of the catalog is used and the
page still works.

OpenAI / Anthropic (AI Alt Text — Pro, Bring Your Own Key)
If you enable AI Alt Text and provide your own API key, the plugin sends the
image (as a base64 data URI) plus the related WooCommerce product context
(title, category, brand) to the provider you choose, to generate alt text:
OpenAI Vision (gpt-4o-mini) — host api.openai.com, path /v1/chat/completions
Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
Anthropic Vision (claude-haiku-4-5) — host api.anthropic.com, path /v1/messages
Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
Privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
This runs only when you trigger alt text generation and only with the key you
supply. The plugin is not a Merchant of Record for these AI costs (BYOK).
Cloudflare (Image Transformations + Cost Analyzer — Pro)
If you enable Cloudflare Image Transformations (CIT), image URLs of your own
site are served through Cloudflare’s edge (/cdn-cgi/image/...) so Cloudflare can
transform them on-demand. If you enable the CIT Cost Analyzer, the plugin
queries the Cloudflare GraphQL Analytics API
(host api.cloudflare.com, path /client/v4/graphql) with the API token you provide
and your zone identifier, to report usage and cost. The plugin also performs a
HEAD request to one of your own derivative URLs to detect whether CIT and
Cloudflare Polish are active on your zone (no third-party data is sent in that
detection).
