Drum rolls, please! Imagify 2.1 introduces Asynchronous Bulk Optimization. That\u2019s right. The need of many Imagify users comes true and makes our image optimizer easier than ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last months, we received many requests about making the bulk optimization process smoother thanks to the asynchronous method, and here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After releasing <a href=\"https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/imagify-smart-compression\/\">Smart Compression<\/a>, which offers the best solution to balance compression and image quality, Imagify comes with a simpler way to optimize images. The need to keep a tab open while compressing images wasn\u2019t efficient \u2013 and we value easiness above everything else. You can now start the compression optimization and forget about it until it\u2019s done. Yes: you don\u2019t need to stay on the same page for a long time until the plugin compresses all your images. Imagify will take care of your image optimization in the background. Simple as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Watch our video to learn everything on Imagify 2.1, or keep reading the article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Imagify 2.1 is Here!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OS-IjvvCx1A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s New with Async Bulk Optimization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What will change for you when using Imagify? Nothing. Your experience with the plugin will stay the same. The only difference is that now you can enable Bulk Optimization and leave the page without stopping the compression optimization process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may wonder what Bulk Optimization is in the first place. Imagine you have hundreds or thousands of images in your Media Library. Then Imagify\u2019s Bulk Optimizer comes in handy because it will optimize your images all at once. You only need to tick the Media Library box and click on the Imagif\u2019em all button, as you can see in the screenshot below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bulk-optimization-Media-Library-Imagify-1024x739.png\" alt=\"Bulk optimization - Media Library, Imagify\" class=\"wp-image-1751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bulk-optimization-Media-Library-Imagify-1024x739.png 1024w, https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bulk-optimization-Media-Library-Imagify-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bulk-optimization-Media-Library-Imagify-768x555.png 768w, https:\/\/imagify.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bulk-optimization-Media-Library-Imagify.png 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Bulk optimization &#8211; Media Library, Imagify<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you enable Bulk Optimization and close your page.
