Image hosting & optimization for WordPress
Every image on your site, optimized and served fast.
PicFast moves your whole media library to a global edge network, even if it holds 250,000 images. Each visitor gets the lightest modern format their browser supports, and every link is reconnected for you. No broken images. No busywork.

The big-library problem
Most plugins quit at ~3,000 images. PicFast doesn't.
Large media libraries are exactly where other offloaders choke, leaving half-migrated galleries and broken images behind. PicFast is built to march through the whole thing, batch by batch.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself.
You connect once. PicFast handles the migration, the optimization, and the reconnection. It all runs quietly in the background, at any size of library.
Connect your site
Install the plugin and paste your key. PicFast reads your library through your existing image URLs, so nothing has to leave WordPress by hand.
PicFast does the work
We fetch every image, resize and compress it, generate AVIF and WebP versions, and store them on a global edge network, batched so even huge libraries finish cleanly.
Your site gets faster
Image links are rewritten automatically. Visitors are served the smallest format their browser can read, from the city nearest them. Nothing on your end changes.
What you get
Built for real, messy media libraries.
No 3,000-image wall
Most offloading plugins choke partway through large libraries. PicFast is built to migrate libraries all the way to 250,000 images without stalling or leaving half-broken galleries behind.
Next-gen formats, automatically
Every image gets AVIF and WebP versions. Each browser is served the lightest one it supports. AVIF runs around 50% smaller than JPEG at the same quality.
iPhone photos just work
HEIC and HEIF uploads, the formats iPhones shoot in, are converted to web-ready images so they display everywhere, instead of showing up broken.
Served from the edge
Images load from a global network spanning hundreds of cities, close to every visitor and cached for instant repeat loads, with no egress fees passed on to you.
Hands-free reconnection
PicFast rewrites your image URLs for you. No find-and-replace, no database surgery, no broken images while it works. Turn it off and your site reverts instantly.
Safe by design
Your originals are never deleted automatically. Free up server space only when you choose to, and restore any image back to your server in one click.
Feels instant
Visitors never stare at a blank box.
While a photo downloads, PicFast paints a tiny, instant blur of it, so every image area is filled the moment the page appears. The sharp photo then fades in over the top. On slow connections, pages feel loaded long before they finish.
Will it actually be faster?
Usually yes. Here's the honest answer.
Images are typically the heaviest thing a browser has to load. On 73% of mobile pages, the largest element a visitor waits for is an image, so making images smaller and closer directly speeds up the moment your page feels ready.
PicFast attacks it three ways: modern formats (AVIF is ~50% lighter than JPEG), right-sizing so a 4,000px photo never loads into a 400px slot, and edge delivery from the city nearest your visitor.
How big the win is depends on where you start. A site serving large, unoptimized JPEGs from one server can cut image weight by half or more. Already optimized? You'll still gain from AVIF and global caching.
